He was born in England to an English-Peruvian mother and a Polish-French father[3] and raised between England and Botswana with his mother. He studied at Magdalen College School until 1994 (and now is an Old Waynflete),[4] then he studied at the University of Brighton and became Mario Testino’s photography assistant.[2]
