In this relaxed, hands-on workshop, Rory Lewis explores how much you can truly achieve with one light — and when adding more actually helps (and when it doesn’t). Drawing on over two decades of experience photographing actors, artists, executives, and public figures, Rory demonstrates a simplified, intentional approach to portrait lighting that prioritises clarity over complexity.

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.
