Angela Newton Roy Photography bio picture

  • Hi there and welcome!

    I am a photographer based in Northern VA, specializing in Interiors, Brands, and capturing the love of a family on medium format film. Having earned a Master of Fine Arts degree in Interior Design from Virginia Commonwealth University and being a photographer for 8 years, I’ve been able to blend my love for capturing a feeling through an image with my love for spaces, people, and stories. Whether it’s the feeling of being inside a beautifully designed place, the feeling of a brand’s story and how it draws people in, or the feeling of a 3 year old’s tiny arms wrapped around their mother and the impossible joy felt at hearing their sweet giggle, my heart connects with each one of these and translates it into imagery that has soul and evokes emotion. I believe in telling a story, beautiful light, gratitude, and always seeing the beauty in life and in others.

This summer I visited the 9/11 Memorial with my mom and Rob. I’ve seen it on tv. I’ve walked by it, driven by it, thought about it. But being there was different. Standing on that hallowed ground, running my hands over the names engraved in metal, listening to the water as it dropped below me into the footprint pool of each building. It was moving. It’s something I can’t really explain. I wanted to look up each name. Know their story and what made them laugh and who they loved and the things they enjoyed in their life. Reading name after name and googling story after story…it was my way to say that each of them deserves to be remembered. Each of them matters. And so today, as I sit in my upper west side apartment, living my own story that is so similar to many of theirs, I appreciate the day in front of me, the gift I am given to live it to the fullest, and I honor them and their families. I hope that their loved ones are leaning not on their own understanding, but on something greater. Finding a peace that surpasses all understanding…
