This hands-on portrait photography workshop in Los Angeles is led by Rory Lewis, internationally recognized for cinematic, painterly portraiture inspired by Caravaggio, Ribera, Rembrandt, and Holbein. The focus: chiaroscuro, tenebrism, and emotional presence—light that sculpts, darkness that speaks.
