Rich Lakos is a London-based photographer, originally from Australia, with a background in acting and a known passion for coffee. His work is visually striking, emotionally resonant, and ideal for bold, narrative-driven projects across print, screen, and public spaces.

Trained as an actor before turning to photography, Rich brings a director’s eye to his shoots — drawing on performance, emotion, and storytelling to create images that feel alive and cinematic.

Clients choose Rich when they want more than just polished pictures. Whether it’s a high-concept campaign, editorial, or portrait, he brings a calm, collaborative energy that makes the process both creative and enjoyable.

His work has featured in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, The Guardian, The Stage, Esquire, and more. He has collaborated with organisations including the BBC, Royal Shakespeare Company, and National Theatre, as well as independent producers, brands, and artists.

Rich is especially drawn to editorial, commercial, and branded projects that combine bold visuals with strong personality and story.
