Roy Burroughs

Roy has spent the past 30 years photographing from Central Virginia to the far reaches of the globe. His work has carried him to over 50 countries and on six continents, including the Himalayas, the Sahara, and the Jungles of South America. Along the way, he has survived cobras, scorpions, typhoons, tuberculosis, a bone marrow transplant, emergency landings, and most dangerous of all, taxi rides in India.

Although his craft has taken him to the ends of the earth, it’s not about the adventure or challenge, he focuses on purpose, and telling stories that need to be heard. Stories of people making a positive impact on the world. Among them, medical volunteers working among the poorest of the poor, and a humanitarian aid worker teaching a village to grow food for their starving children.

Burroughs and his wife, Evelyn live in Midlothian, Va. They have raised three redheads, Josh, Ethan and Reese.
