Las Vegas Portrait Photography Masterclass with Rory Lewis

This workshop will allow you to work with professional models and capture amazing photography for your portfolio

Join celebrity photographer Rory Lewis for an intensive one-day masterclass, hosted by B&C Camera, Las Vegas’s independent camera store since 1971. Rory has photographed Sir Patrick Stewart, Sir Ian McKellen, Dame Judi Dench and William Shatner. Over an immersive day you will photograph professional models while mastering the craft of portrait lighting and portfolio-building setups.

Overview
Rory Lewis is the photographer behind portraits of Sir Patrick Stewart, Sir Ian McKellen, Dame Judi Dench and William Shatner, as well as Ray Dalio and members of the British Royal Family. His work is held in the permanent collections of the National Portrait Gallery, London, and the Royal Collection. In February he brings his masterclass to Las Vegas for one day, in partnership with B&C Camera.

This is a day of hands-on shooting and direct teaching. You will photograph professional models while learning Rory’s classical style of lighting, an approach rooted in chiaroscuro and the painterly tradition of the Old Masters. You will work through one, two and three-light setups and learn how each configuration is built, why it works and when to use it.

Who this masterclass is for
The day is designed for beginner and intermediate photographers. It suits wedding and headshot photographers equally well if they want to bring depth, drama and classical refinement to their portrait work. All you need is a camera and a willingness to shoot.

What you will learn

• One, two and three-light setups, built from the ground up and shot in full
• Rory’s classical approach to portrait lighting, drawn from Renaissance portraiture
• Directing and posing sitters for portfolio-ready portraits
• How to achieve dramatic, painterly results with minimal equipment
