Working with Alex Burns, a veteran actor and model, in New York City was an absolute pleasure. With years of experience in front of the camera, Alex understands the power of a compelling headshot—and together, we set out to create portraits that reflect his depth, versatility, and presence.
Celebrated actor, model, and voice artist VJ Kesh recently posed for a series of striking portraits at Rory Lewis’s Los Angeles studio. Known for his roles in Wilfred (2007), Blue Heelers (1994), and Narcosys (2000), VJ Kesh brings over 35 years of experience in film, television, and theater. Born in Malaysia and of Indian ancestry, Kesh has spent decades honing his craft across Australia, India, Europe, the U.S., and Mexico. This rich tapestry of life experiences makes him a sought-after talent for character-driven roles and voice narration.
Selah: Inspired by the Hebrew term found in the Book of Psalms, meaning a pause to breathe and reflect, this project aims to capture meditative and dramatic moments in my subjects. The classical influence is ever-present, with inspirations drawn from the intense chiaroscuro and emotional depth of Caravaggio's and Ribera’s works.
