John Roy’s Experience

• Photographer

  John-Roy Photography

  (Photography industry)

  May 2006 — Present (3 years 7 months)

  I am a wedding/fine art photographer. I enjoy capturing the bride's special day using my eye and camera. That allows me to tell her special story and she will have for a live time.
  
  I also love doing "urban phototgraphy." That includes buildings, objects, as well as people on the street. I am working on a collection that I call “personne qui collecte les donations." I am hoping to have enough images to get them published.
