Photographer Vicky Roy spent his childhood on the streets of Delhi. A charity took him in and introduced him to photography. Vicky started taking photos with a plastic camera, and eventually began charging his friends for portraits. He went on to become a successful photographer with a reputation for evocative photos of street children. He told Outlook’s Jo Fidgen his story.
