Roy Tan , one of the most sought after portrait photographers in Honk Kong ( China ). His parallel careers in the media and visual arts date back to his university days in London, where he earned a degree in visual communications at the London College of Printing. Returning to Hong Kong in 1980, he continued along this vein, garnering awards for his designs in the advertising field while furthering his photographic aspirations.
In the 90's, Roy left Hong Kong for London to pursue the real love of his life - the theatre.
