⚡️ 17th – 21st February 2026
🎭 Limited availability
Actors who have chosen Rory Lewis have gone on to be cast in some of the most influential film and television productions of the last decade—from prestige Netflix dramas to HBO epics and major studio features.
A great actor headshot does more than show your face.
It reveals presence, character, and emotional truth—the qualities casting directors respond to instinctively.
Cinematic Headshots for Serious Actors
Rory’s approach to actor headshots is rooted in cinematic lighting, classical portraiture, and intuitive direction. Sessions are calm, focused, and actor-centred—designed to draw out authenticity rather than manufacture expression.
Every portrait is guided with precision, helping actors access stillness, depth, and range without over-performing. The result is imagery that feels honest, intelligent, and castable—headshots that sit naturally alongside prestige film and television work.
Trusted by Icons of Stage & Screen
Rory has photographed some of the most respected figures in acting, including Sir Patrick Stewart, Sir Ian McKellen, Dame Judi Dench, Ian McShane, William Shatner, Jared Harris, James Purefoy, and David Warner.
The same level of attention, craft, and direction is applied to every session—whether working with emerging talent or internationally recognised performers.
Notable recent collaborations include:
A London Studio Built for Actors
Rory’s Central London studio offers a quiet, controlled environment designed specifically for performance-led portraiture. Every detail is considered:
Sculpted, painterly lighting
Wardrobe and colour guidance
Expressive coaching tailored to casting archetypes
Refined, industry-standard retouching
The goal is not trend-driven imagery, but timeless headshots that work across Spotlight, casting submissions, agents’ shortlists, and professional portfolios.
Why Casting Directors Respond
Rory’s headshots consistently resonate because they communicate:
Presence over polish
Emotional intelligence over performance
Credibility, range, and authority
