As a native of Baltimore Maryland, Roy began his career as a fashion and advertising photographer in June 2002. Having no formal training in the medium, Roy began taking photographs of friends and family, which quickly turned into a full-time passion. Roy spent most all of his free time teaching himself the technical aspects of the art, during which his passion for editorial and fashion photography emerged.
In October 2002, Roy opened his first studio in a commercial building that he discovered not far from where he grew up. It was important to him to stay in Baltimore because Baltimore has always felt like home to him. It was at this time that Roy began his career as a professional photographer.
Over the first two years, Roy's talent quickly developed as did his client base. Starting with portfolio and head shot work, Roy's name began to work its way throughout Maryland along with the surrounding states, and his studio grew. In early 2004, Roy brought on a full-time post-production artist to take on the large amount of photo editing and layout work that he was now faced with.
In late 2004, Roy's career took a giant leap forward when he landed his first commercial advertising campaign for Chevy Chase Bank. With his studio and client base quickly expanding, Roy opened a second and much larger studio space. In 2006, Roy brought on a full-time studio manager to run his business and oversee the day to day operations.
Nearly 10 years later, Roy's work has been published in hundreds of magazines, seen on billboards and in newspapers. His work has been used by thousands of individual artists, musicians, models and commercial clients, and these numbers to continue to grow daily.
Roy spends a large amount of his free time teaching photography students as well as providing internship outlets to many of the tri-state area college and universities.
"It seemed that there was a lack of help and support for new photographers in the professional community back when I started, and I wanted to make sure that individuals had a place to learn and get real experience in this business."
"I never imagined myself as a photographer, and now I can't imagine myself doing anything else."
