Capturing Ana Emdin — A London Studio Portrait Session (RORY LEWIS Photographer) London.
In my London studio, I had the privilege of photographing Ana Emdin, an accomplished film producer whose work has made waves both in the UK and internationally. With a poised elegance and a subtle confidence, Ana brought a presence to the session that perfectly aligned with my vision of creating portraits that go beyond the surface.
As with all my sittings, I approached Ana’s session with a blend of precise direction and inventive scenarios — techniques I’ve honed through years of working with actors, artists, executives, and public figures. My goal was not simply to take a photograph, but to craft an image that captures the essence of the individual.

The session unfolded in a series of setups — from clean, understated headshots to more expressive compositions — each designed to reflect different aspects of Ana’s personality. A soft, controlled lighting scheme highlighted her features, while subtle shifts in posture and expression revealed both her warmth and her quiet strength.
Ana’s work in film production demands vision, adaptability, and a deep understanding of human storytelling — qualities I wanted the portraits to echo. Through slight adjustments in expression and body language, we achieved a set of images that feel cinematic yet authentic, timeless yet grounded in the present.
