Cinematic Headshots for Children
With over twenty years of experience, Rory Lewis is an award-winning British headshot and portrait photographer, internationally recognised for his cinematic, expressive portraits of actors, public figures, and cultural leaders. Based in Los Angeles, with seasonal residencies in New York and London, Rory offers professional children’s actor headshotsdesigned to meet the expectations of casting directors, agents, and industry platforms worldwide.
Rory’s approach to children’s headshots is calm, patient, and highly adaptive. He creates a supportive, age-appropriate environment where young performers feel comfortable and confident, allowing their natural personality, warmth, and individuality to come through on camera. Rather than over-posing or forcing expression, each session focuses on honesty, presence, and approachability—qualities essential for successful child actor submissions.
Trusted by casting professionals and recommended by platforms such as Spotlight and Backstage, Rory brings the same creative direction, technical precision, and attention to detail to children’s sessions as he does to photographing leading figures of stage and screen. The result is a set of authentic, professional headshots that help young actors stand out while remaining true to who they are.
