Actors Headshots in Los Angeles
A great actor headshot does more than show your face — it communicates presence, range, and intention. In an industry where first impressions matter instantly, your headshot must feel truthful, confident, and unmistakably you.
Rory Lewis’s approach to actors headshots is rooted in cinematic lighting, refined direction, and an unwavering focus on authenticity. Each session is designed to reveal natural type, emotional depth, and versatility across theatrical, commercial, and character-driven looks — without over-performance or distraction.
Cinematic Headshots That Casting Directors Remember
Working from his Downtown Los Angeles studio, Rory creates headshots that balance precision with ease. Sessions are focused yet relaxed, allowing actors to settle into stillness and presence while being carefully guided on expression, posture, and nuance. The result is imagery that feels effortless, confident, and emotionally resonant — photographs that hold attention.
Actors who have trusted Rory Lewis for their portraits include Sir Patrick Stewart, Sir Ian McKellen, and William Shatner, alongside countless stage and screen professionals working across film, television, and theatre. His headshots are consistently praised for combining honesty with elegance — images that resonate with casting directors, agents, and producers alike.
A Fine-Art Approach to Modern Actors Headshots
