Remember to set the |answered= parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input.

Hello. I am Rory Lewis, the subject of this article, so per WP:COI I am requesting these changes rather than making them myself. Several current citations point to my own website; where possible I have suggested independent sources to replace them.

1. National Portrait Gallery holdings (update and improve sourcing) Please add to the end of the paragraph on the Rufus Sewell portrait:

"The National Portrait Gallery's collection holds seven portraits by Lewis, including David Warner, Rufus Sewell, Warrant Officer Deborah Penny, Bill Speakman VC and Rambahadur Limbu VC."^[1]

The same NPG page could also replace the self-published citations currently used for the Sewell and Penny acquisitions.

2. Portrait of Britain 2017 Please add to the Soldiery section:

"In 2017 Lewis's portrait of Captain Anani-Isaac of The Royal Lancers, from the Soldiery series, was selected as one of the 100 winners of the British Journal of Photography's Portrait of Britain."^[2]

3. National Army Museum acquisition Please add after the sentence about the 2018 National Army Museum exhibition:

"In January 2020 the National Army Museum hosted a talk by Lewis on the project, with photographs from Soldiery that the museum had newly acquired on display in its Foyle Centre."^[3]

4. Royal portraits Please add a new paragraph after the David Cameron paragraph:

"In 2019 Lewis photographed Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, at St James's Palace, a commission that followed an earlier sitting with the Duke's brother, Prince Michael of Kent."^[4]

5. Infobox caption The infobox caption reads "Lewis, age 32, self portrait", which is now out of date. Please change it to "Self-portrait".

Thank you for your time. ~~~~
