He is an award-winning portrait photographer and has credits at the top end of the style industry.

His photographs have been exhibited extensively and he has also worked as a consultant art director at Redwood Publishing and Express newspapers.
Apart from art directing and editing books on photography and contemporary culture, his writing on design and photography has been published online and in book form. A monograph of his work “at home with the makers of style” - which captured twenty five of the world’s leading designers and their homes - was published by Thames & Hudson in 2006.

In his own words, his love of photography comes from "its ability to create immediate non-verbal communication of a moment in time." As for a description of life in the industry, Grant says, “I look at pictures, talk, look at pictures, write, look at pictures, take pictures."
Asked why he wanted to get involved with Red Bull Illume, Grant cited "its commitment to photography on an international platform."
