Stuart lived in New York in the late 1970s and early 1980s, working as an actor ("his only role of interest was a bit part in The Godfather Part II, playing an American soldier back from World War II"), musician and in a colour photo lab. He moved to London where he became a photographer and began taking erotic photographs. His work blends glamour photography and contemporary art with an emphasis on female models and BDSM aesthetics. His first three volumes of photography sold 250,000 copies. He later moved to Paris. Philippe Garnier, writing in Libération in 2002 said of Stuart's publications by Taschen, "Roy Stuart is quickly becoming a locomotive for this atypical editor." Publications
