William Shatner Actor Portrait Photoshoot Los Angeles Rory Lewis Photographer 2022
William Shatner is best known for his role as Captain James T Kirk on the Starship Enterprise. I’ve had the honour and pleasure of having him in front of my lens on four occasions.
My first sitting with William Shatner was back on 12th February 2015. At the time I was travelling to LA and wanted to take the opportunity to include Shatner in my Expressive Portraitsexhibition.
Most recently I was commissioned by Bill to create a light and bright portrait.
The image is to be used for Mr Shatner’s music in an upcoming album. In directing the screen icon, we found ourselves inspired by Kanye West capturing a strong portrait with attitude. I look forward to our next sitting, at 91 Mr Shatner is a formidable presence and iconic musician and actor.
Photography is about so much more than merely clicking the shutter and getting some lighting tricks right. Successful photography, and successful portraiture, is about evoking a feeling. This process is impossible without direction. Direction is key.
