Todd Jeffries – Cinematic Headshots in Los Angeles

Todd Jeffries – Cinematic Headshots in Los Angeles (Rory Lewis Photographer 2025)

Capturing new headshots for Todd Jeffries at my Downtown Los Angeles studio was an exceptional experience, working with an actor whose career spans award-winning stage work, memorable film roles, and appearances across some of television’s most iconic series. In a city where a headshot is often the first introduction to casting directors, producers, and agencies, Jeffries brought a depth and presence shaped by decades of performance.

Known for his distinguished stage career — including an Irene Ryan Award and two L.A. Drama Logue Awards — Jeffries is a performer with remarkable range. His film work includes Blue de Ville, The Fabulous Baker Boys, The Arrival, Monolith, Executive Decision, The Deep End of the Ocean, and Without Warning. He has also guest-starred across a long list of acclaimed television series, from Falcon Crest, L.A. Law, and The Golden Girls to Seinfeld, The X-Files, 24, Matlock, Dark Skies, JAG, and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. His résumé reflects the breadth of a true working actor — adaptable, enduring, and deeply committed to his craft.

Our Los Angeles headshot session focused on capturing that very essence. I approached Jeffries’ portraits with sculpted cinematic lighting and a directed, expressive workflow, aiming for quiet strength, intelligence, and the subtle emotional layers that define seasoned performers. In LA, where casting decisions are often made in seconds, the goal is always to create images that feel immediate and alive — portraits that communicate range, capability, and confidence with a single glance.

With more than two decades behind the camera, I’ve been fortunate to photograph icons such as Sir Patrick Stewart, Dame Judi Dench, Sir Ian McKellen, William Shatner, Ray Dalio, and David Warner. The same level of direction, attention to detail, and classical portrait discipline is applied to every actor who steps into my studio — whether a rising talent or an established figure like Todd Jeffries.

My Los Angeles studio is dedicated to producing cinematic, character-driven headshots that stand out in an intensely competitive industry. Every session is tailored, every expression carefully shaped, and every frame designed to help actors present their truest, strongest selves.

If you're seeking headshots that elevate your presence and speak directly to the LA market, I’d be delighted to work with you. Sessions are available in Los Angeles year-round, with frequent availability in New York and London.
