Capturing Character: Actor Headshots for Juan by Rory Lewis Photography (Rory Lewis Photographer 2025)
It was a pleasure to welcome Juan, a talented Spanish actor, singer, and performer, into my London studio for his new set of professional headshots. Based in London and holding an MA in Music Theatre from the prestigious Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, Juan brings a unique blend of discipline, creativity, and versatility to the acting world.
Originally trained as an architect and 3D designer, Juan’s journey into acting began in 2017 through evening and weekend classes, amateur theatre, short films, and concerts. His early career was shaped on the stages of fringe and regional theatre, where he honed his craft and discovered a deep passion for performance. Now, with a solid foundation in musical theatre and an ever-growing list of credits, Juan is ready to take the next step—and his headshots needed to reflect just that.
