Join award-winning portrait photographer Rory Lewis for an intensive masterclass at his London studio. Over an immersive day, you’ll photograph three professional models—including a well-known face or two—while mastering the craft of Portrait Lighting and portfolio-building setups. Saturday 23rd January 2027.
Work with professional models and learn how to build a portrait that looks like a still from a film.
Most portraits come out flat. The face is lit, the exposure is right, and the picture still sits on the surface of the frame with no weight to it. This class is about the opposite result: a portrait with depth, where the face is sculpted, the subject lifts away from the background, and the whole image feels three-dimensional.
