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’.

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!

Few military specialists are as enigmatic and elusive as snipers. Tasked with precision, patience, and absolute concealment, these highly trained marksmen operate on the razor’s edge of warfare. As a portrait photographer with extensive experience in the defense sector, I have had the unique opportunity to work with snipers from the British Army, the U.S. Armed Forces, and the Italian military. Each session presented distinct challenges, not only due to the covert nature of their profession but also because of the intricate gear and camouflage techniques that make them nearly invisible to the human eye.
