Los Angeles is one of the most competitive acting markets in the world. Your headshot isn’t just a photo — it’s your calling card, your first audition, your introduction before you enter the room.
For over two decades, Rory Lewis has worked with countless actors to help jump-start and elevate their careers. From emerging talent to established names, his work blends fine-art lighting with industry awareness — creating images that are cinematic, contemporary, and castable.
Every session is actor-first — guided throughout, never rushed, and focused on clarity and castability.
Nothing generic.
Nothing over-styled.
Nothing forced.
Just presence, range, and credibility — captured with precision.
A Distinctive Industry Look
Working from his Downtown LA studio, Rory creates headshots that feel editorial yet grounded — the balance casting directors respond to.
His approach is rooted in classical portraiture and cinematic lighting, yet adapted for modern casting needs. Actors walk away with images that feel:
Current
Confident
Bookable
Authentically “them”
This is not stiff posing.
This is not guesswork.
You don’t need to know how to pose.
You don’t need to “perform” for the camera.
Rory guides you calmly and precisely toward images that feel like you — on your strongest day.
