Back Home in Los Angeles — Now Booking Portrait & Headshot Sessions (Ciaran Hinds Actor Rory Lewis Photographer)
After three remarkable weeks photographing in London, I’m back home in Los Angeles, reenergized and ready to continue capturing the faces and stories that define this extraordinary city. From 15 October 2025, my Downtown Los Angeles studio is open for bookings — welcoming actors, professionals, creatives, and military personnel for headshots and portraits that go beyond the surface.
Los Angeles has always been my creative home — a city where light, ambition, and identity intersect. Here, every face has a story: the actor chasing a breakthrough role, the entrepreneur redefining their brand, the artist shaping culture, or the soldier embodying discipline and service. My goal is to create portraits that not only record your likeness but reveal your essence — an image that feels cinematic, sculpted, and unmistakably you.
The Los Angeles Studio Experience
At my Downtown LA studio, I work with precision, direction, and empathy. My portraits are crafted bringing sculptural depth and tone that recall the masters — Caravaggio, Holbein, and Ribera — but with a distinctly modern edge.
Each session is a collaboration. I direct carefully, adjusting expression and posture to uncover the right moment — that fraction of a second where authenticity meets artistry.
Whether it’s a headshot for casting, a corporate portrait for your company, or a personal project of timeless character, you can expect a relaxed, professional environment and images that command attention.
