I am deeply honored to have been featured in VoyageLA Magazine and to share my journey with their incredible readers. The opportunity to reflect on my path—from my beginnings as a history student at King’s College London to becoming a portrait photographer inspired by history, art, and humanity—has been both humbling and energizing.

My creative career has been a winding road, shaped by failures, perseverance, and a deep-seated passion for capturing the essence of people. It was a pleasure to talk about my inspirations, challenges, and the projects that have defined my work, like Northerners and my more recent endeavors, which fuse timeless artistry with the unique stories of my sitters.

VoyageLA’s commitment to highlighting the stories of local creatives and businesses is an invaluable resource to Los Angeles. In such a vast and vibrant city, it’s inspiring to see a platform that connects people and celebrates the incredible talent in our community. Their work reminds us that behind every creative pursuit lies dedication, resilience, and the desire to tell stories that matter.

To anyone reading the article who’s interested in learning more about my work, whether it’s my portrait sessions, workshops, or upcoming projects, I’d love to connect with you. You can find more details on my website www.rorylewis.studio or follow me on Instagram @rorylewisofficial.

Thank you, VoyageLA, for the opportunity to share a piece of my journey, and thank you to everyone who has supported my work over the years. This recognition is a testament to the community and connections that have shaped my career.

Here’s to continuing to capture the humanity and history in every portrait.

Warm regards,
Rory Lewis
