Actors Headshots Rory Lewis Photographer in Manhattan.
From Broadway to the big screen. Bring the prestige of the National Portrait Gallery and the 'HBO/Netflix' aesthetic to your New York acting portfolio.
In a city defined by the relentless pursuit of excellence, your headshot is your most powerful currency. From the bright lights of Broadway to the prestige sets of HBO, Netflix, and Showtime, New York’s casting rooms demand more than just a likeness—they demand character.
Rory Lewis brings his internationally acclaimed "Cinematic" style to Midtown Manhattan, offering New York actors the same museum-grade portraiture trusted by icons like Sir Patrick Stewart, Sir Ian McKellen, and Natalie Dormer.
Why Rory Lewis?
The "Still Frame" Aesthetic: We don't just take photos; we create frames that look like they were pulled directly from a high-budget production.
Direction, Not Just Posing: Rory works with you as a director would, pulling out the internal monologue that makes a headshot "pop" for a Casting Director.
Industry Standards: Your images are formatted specifically for Spotlight, IMDb, Backstage, and Actors Access, ensuring you are technically compliant and visually superior.
