Business Owner

Roy’s expansive career ranged from actor to a photography agent, before opening his own studio, which he named after his beloved chocolate Labrador Retriever, Jack. As a dog lover, Roy encourages clients to bring in their dogs, resulting in a studio that is always full of life.

Roy’s passion for his work is evident in every detail of Jack Studios, which reflects his sleek, clean, and minimalistic taste. The studios are filled with pristine white pieces designed by Roy himself, such as makeup stations, conference tables, and Corian® desks, adding a unique modern touch to the atmosphere. A deep blue sea fish tank lights up the café with sparkling silver Lookdown or «Jack» fish, creating a beautiful and relaxing space.
