Two years later, he purchased a
35mm camera and began photographing friends and local models. Finding the industry difficult and competitive, he left photography and pursued a career in
golf. In 1994,
American Photo magazine published a cover story about
Richard Avedon, which Roy credits as his motivation to pursuing portrait photography again. After six months in
France, Roy returned to Nashville to cultivate his portrait work and refine his technical skills. Roy is now based in New York and is represented worldwide by Art + Commerce and AUGUST for licensing & syndication ==Exhibitions==
