About the Tutor
Winner of the Portrait of Britain in 2017, 2018 & 2019. Lewis is a dedicated portrait photographer who has spent over a decade capturing many of the world’s most recognised faces. Sitters have included the likes of William Shatner, David Cameron, Sir Derek Jacobi, Iain Glen and Natalie Dormer. Rory’s images have been exhibited on both sides of the Atlantic, and several of his iconic portraits have been acquired by the National Portrait Gallery in London. His recent project, ‘Soldiery’, which documented the British Army of the 21st Century, was completed over a two year period and has been hailed as a national success story, named by the BBC as ‘The changing face of the British Army’. Rory divides his time between London and Los Angeles, working with a wide variety of clients. In addition to his projects and private portraits, his photography has been commissioned by Pepsi, Universal, the British Army, The Times, The Guardian and Cancer Research UK, among others. Rory draws immense inspiration from the masters of art including Hans Holbein the Younger, Titian, Caravaggio and Jusepe de Ribera.

Een zeer leerzame workshop. Ik heb bij Rory een geweldige workshop "headshots" portretfotografie gevolgd. Deze workshop is zowel interessant voor de beginnende als de meer gevorderde fotograaf. Rory Lewis legt op een open manier uit hoe hij te werk gaat en verteld over alle aspecten van het vak. Hij laat je zien hoe je een model aanstuurt en hoe je eenvoudig komt tot geweldige resultaten. Natuurlijk ga je ook zelf aan de slag om het geleerde in de praktijk te brengen en geeft Rory daar waar nodig extra tips. De workshop was zeer inspirerend en nodigt uit om daarna zelf aan de slag te gaan. Vijf sterren voor deze sympathieke Brit!

"In one word “Inspiring” “Rory was open to and encouraged all questions, which were answered in detail. Rory shared his extensive lighting knowledge in addition to how to bring out the character in a portrait subject in a fun. informal, enjoyable manner. Would recommend this course to any portrait photographer wanting to improve their craft.”

Portraiture has always been about more than capturing an image; it is about telling a story. In my portrait of General Sir James Everard, recently featured in The Telegraph, I aimed to convey not only the authority but also the profound responsibility embodied by one of the UK's most experienced military leaders.
