Stephen Blackehart—character actor, producer, and creative force behind countless cult and blockbuster hits—recently stepped into Rory Lewis’ Downtown Los Angeles studio for a headshot session that was anything but ordinary. Known for his unforgettable roles in Tromeo and Juliet, The Belko Experiment, and the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise and most recently Superman. Blackehart brought decades of cinematic presence to the studio—offering the kind of depth, grit, and charm that only a seasoned actor can deliver.
In the ever-evolving world of entertainment, some of the most influential talents are the ones who operate behind the scenes. One such figure is acclaimed music editor Pinder, whose work has shaped the sonic landscape of iconic films like The Dark Knight (2008), Priest (2011), Big Hero 6 (2014), Turbo, and Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.
In the world of acting, a great performance is immortalized through film, but a truly iconic presence is captured in a single portrait. As a Los Angeles-based headshot photographer, I have had the privilege of photographing some of the finest actors in the industry—artists whose faces tell the stories of their careers, their struggles, and their triumphs. Among them were three Hollywood legends who have since passed but whose impact on the industry remains indelible: Richard Herd, René Auberjonois, and Mark Margolis.
In the competitive world of Hollywood, a headshot is more than just a photograph—it’s your first impression, your calling card, and a key to unlocking new opportunities. With over 20 years of experience, Los Angeles-based British photographer Rory Lewis is the industry’s premier choice for actors who want to stand out.
