Rogue Shakespeare® Photography
Before he became an agent, our founder Ryan J-W Smith (aka Rogue Shakespeare) was, among many other things, a professional photographer and a trained Hollywood paparazzo!
Starting his career shooting entirely on film, his first paid job was a commission to photograph studio shots of dancers for a popular dance book being published internationally by A&C Black (now owned by Bloomsbury Publishing) – one of the biggest publishing houses in the UK.
Since then he has developed his photography skills in many areas – including headshot, portrait, fashion and landscape photography. His works have been curated for galleries, such as Whitewall Galleries in Leeds. And he was head-hunted and trained to be a paparazzo by an agency whist he was living in LA.
And, while he ultimately walked away from working as a paparazzo in LA, the tough training to be a Hollywood paparazzo means Ryan is able to shoot headshots etc. much more quickly than most photographers – and he’s trained to do it on the streets, not just in fancy studios.

The Rogue Shakespeare® difference
What makes shooting with Ryan different?
YOU GET ALL YOUR SHOTS!
Almost all photographers limit the number of photos that you can get from a session by limiting the number of retouched / un-watermarked photos available – and making you pay for more if you want them later. This can turn a seemingly affordable session into a costly venture.
Focusing on generosity and giving actors what they really want/need, Ryan will give you all of your untouched photos from your session for you to retouch yourself at your leisure. Simples! 🙂
NO RETOUCHES – NO LIMITS!
Ryan doesn’t retouch your photos. Almost everyone has access to powerful image retouching software today – even on their phone. So, as we do away with restricting your access to your photos, we also do away with the need for your photographer to retouch your photos.
You can retouch your own photos to your heart’s content, or have someone else do them. You don’t need your photographer to do them for you – we’re sure you and your friends are fully capable! ☺️👍
YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER IS AN AGENT!
How often does this happen?! Feel free to take full advantage – ask all the questions you want about the industry during your photo session – it’s like getting a free consultation as you shoot! 😉
