Elevating Corporate Identity Makeup Forever Executive & Team Portraits by Rory Lewis

Luxury beauty house Make Up For Ever commissioned Rory Lewis to create a new series of executive and corporate portraits for its diverse New York–based team. The brief was clear: refined, timeless imagery that reflects both individual authority and collective identity at the highest corporate level.

The decision to work in classic black-and-white was intentional. By removing the distraction of colour, each portrait focuses entirely on presence, character, and leadership—qualities essential to senior executives and forward-facing corporate teams. The result is a cohesive visual language that feels both contemporary and enduring, aligned with the values of a global luxury brand.

Working fluidly between Los Angeles, New York, and London, Rory Lewis brings a consistent, high-calibre approach to executive portraiture worldwide. His process balances precision lighting, calm direction, and psychological insight—allowing subjects to appear confident, authentic, and unmistakably professional.

These portraits are not simply headshots; they are strategic brand assets. Whether photographed for leadership profiles, internal communications, press use, or global marketing, each image reinforces credibility, cohesion, and authority.

For organisations seeking to elevate their corporate image—or individuals operating at board, C-suite, or executive level—Rory Lewis offers a seamless, discreet, and results-driven portrait experience. The outcome is imagery that communicates trust, leadership, and distinction at first glance.
