About
ABOUT
Rory Langdon-Down is a photographer focused on making pictures rich with human-led storytelling.
With a background as a filmmaker, Rory has developed his ability to capture single organic moments saturated with a palpable energy, always with human connection at the core. These fleeting scenes are preserved by Rory's camera as he recognises the exact moment when to capture a still image that encapsulates a moment in motion.
Rory is a strong believer in the Edward Steichan quote, “a photograph is not made in the camera, it is made either side of it” and prides himself on his ability to connect meaningfully with any and everybody, transforming his photographs into much more than just a two dimensional image.
