Rory Langdon-Down is a London-based photographer and winner of the British Journal of Photography’s Portrait of Humanity and Portrait of Britain, focussing on human-led storytelling through photography.

💦Why Ed Sheeran suggests turning the tap on.
📷How a photograph isn't made in the camera, it's made either side of it.

A broadcast journalism graduate from the University of Leeds in 2012, Rory’s photography is grounded in realness with a style established in the motion camera department shooting documentaries, music videos and commercials.

In 2021, Rory photographed a different person every day for a year, which lead to his debut book ‘Portrait A Day’ that told the story of the unique year through the people that surround us.

Rory is inspired by the notion that a portrait is not made in the camera, it is made either side of it and the meaningful engagement between subject and photographer shows in the photographs.
