Rory Earnshaw was born in Swingin’ London in ’65.  As a toddler, he was often found running after the Beatles and the Kinks with a small  toy Polaroid “snap and shoot.”  By the age of 4, he was always on the Press List (and guest list) at most venues.

His parents realized they had a possible behavior problem on their hands: Rory lived to shoot, and became obsessed with his toy camera. Finally, they obliged him and helped him buy his first camera with his paper route money. They thought they had appeased him. Nothing could be further from the truth.

The obsession continued. He was an accomplished photographer by the age of 12, and insisted that one day he would have his own studio: In America. He attended a prestigious photo school in Edinburgh, and graduated  in ’85. Full of piss and vinegar, Rory came to the states with a Hasselblad and a vision: to shoot well, to shoot often, and to deliver what the client wants on time and on budget. His vision soon became a reality.

He did his time as an assistant, but his natural ability to shoot, and his inability to be happy waiting in the wings, forced him into the limelight. Today Rory shoots corporate annual reports, table-top, fine art, corporate/music industry portraits, product, packaging, lifestyle, editorial, music CD’s, as well as fine art landscapes. Rory’s greatest gift to a client or project is that he brings a great sense of professionalism and love of photography to every thing he does.
