Thirty-minute headshot update sessions — one day only, Friday 11 September 2026

On Friday 11 September 2026 I am opening the Downtown Los Angeles studio for a single day of thirty-minute headshot update sessions. Each one gives you two looks and one retouched image, and it is the only date this year I will offer them.

Who they are for

Most people who have sat for me do not need the full sitting again. They need the same face, lit the same way, a year or two on: the actor whose hair has changed since the last set, the executive whose photograph on the company website predates two promotions, the founder who wants one current image in front of a board or on LinkedIn before the autumn.

If that is you, thirty minutes is enough. It is not enough to start from nothing. If you have no headshots, or you are rebuilding a whole set, book a full sitting — this is a refresh, not a replacement.

What is included

• Thirty minutes in the studio with me

• Two looks — a change of clothing, or a change of register, as you prefer

• One retouched image, finished to the same standard as my full sittings

• The same single classical low light I use on every portrait, whether the sitter is a Prime Minister, a Field Marshal or an actor with a self-tape due on Monday

Why it matters

Your photograph is doing its work in rooms you are not in. A casting director opens a submission and expects to meet the person in the picture. A client searches your name before the first call. If the image is three years and one haircut out of date, it is quietly costing you, every day. Thirty minutes puts that right.

Booking

Slots are limited to what the day will hold and go to those who write first. Contact me directly at RL@RORYLEWIS.STUDIO with your name, the time of day that suits you, and whether you have sat for me before. I will confirm the slot, the price and the preparation notes by return.
