He was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, but at the age of three, together with his family, emigrated to France. His ‘break’ came in 1998 when Elein Fleiss, the co-founder of Purple Magazine, spotted his work. Since then his work has been exhibited and published internationally in magazines such as ArtReview, French Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar U.K, W Magazine, Dazed & Confused, Air France Magazine, Hobo and many others. Roy has also published five books and several other publications. His latest book “Superstition” edited by Études Studio is out now.
