Model Digitals with Mercy Odima – Los Angeles Studio Session (Rory Lewis Model Portfolio Photographer)
It was a pleasure having Mercy Odima in front of the lens recently for a set of fresh model digitals, captured at my Los Angeles studio in collaboration with Model of Choice.
Mercy has a quiet confidence that comes across effortlessly on camera—something that makes photographing her a particularly enjoyable experience. Her presence is grounded and self-assured, with a natural ability to shift between looks while staying true to her personality.
The shoot focused on clean, agency-standard imagery: simple styling, clear lighting, and subtle transitions in expression and pose. This kind of session always reminds me that it’s not about theatrics—it’s about clarity, posture, and precision. Capturing a model’s essence without distractions.
Working with Model of Choice is always a smooth process. Their commitment to nurturing new talent is evident, and Mercy is no exception—poised, professional, and ready to take the next step in her journey.
Photographing model digitals like these is a return to the fundamentals of portrait work: observing, adjusting, and honoring the details. The light, the frame, the stance—it all comes together in small moments that quietly stand out.
Looking forward to seeing where Mercy’s path leads next.
