Yadira Guevara-Prip: Portrait Sitting New York
Looking back at this signature session with Star Trek: Discovery star Yadira Guevara-Prip. While this portrait was captured for the Selah Exhibition in Manhattan, Rory Lewis is returning to his Midtown Manhattan Studio for an exclusive residency from March 12th–14th, 2026. If you are looking for the same cinematic depth for your own New York Headshots, limited sessions are now available.
he Session: Capturing a Shadow Warrior
Yadira Guevara-Prip is an acclaimed American stage and television actor, best known for her groundbreaking work on Star Trek: Discovery. I was delighted when Yadi accepted my invitation to sit for a portrait at the New York Studio. This portrait was specifically created to be featured in my Selah Exhibition—a collection dedicated to capturing the stillness and "essence" of modern talent.
In 2019, Prip was a core cast member in the first season of the dystopian science fiction series See. As one of the inaugural scripted serials for the launch of Apple TV+, Prip starred as Bow Lion, a shadow warrior for a clan of nomadic people. Capturing that intensity in a still portrait required a specific, cinematic approach to lighting.
Cinematic Actors Headshots in Manhattan
Whether working with stars of the screen or those just beginning their journey, my process remains the same: we do not just "take" a photo; we direct a character. If you are in need of new Actors Headshots or professional portraits, my signature cinematic sessions are available in London, Los Angeles, and New York.
