Henry Roy shoots a photo a day of someone he loves, desires or admires.

Through his portraiture he shares his personal perception of humanity. His aim is to capture this in at least one portrait per day for at least one year. This series includes shots of his influential and inspirational friends and family, as well as beautiful people he meets on the streets of Paris.
