Philosophy; "For me nature photography is not all about pleasing my own need to create. Of course being happy with a picture is very important, but very often there is a story behind it that needs to be told. What separates a good image from the rest is when this story is being told to the viewer. If I succeed in telling the story I will be happy. A really good image needs to tell a story, and at best create a response from the receiver. If the image is living through the receiver, and not forgotten, I have really taken a good picture. I am always aware of the message sent through my photography, and consider my camera a very powerful weapon if used correctly. One picture tells more than a thousand words."

Roy's photography has taken him to several stunning locations around the world as well as all over the brilliant country of Norway. Images from these trips are available for world wide distribution in stock agency Nature Picture Library or Scanpix for Norwegian costumers. Features are sold directly from the photographer and also through Rex Features world wide.
