He has appeared in numerous TV commercials, such as FA, Jägermeister and Michelob[12] and in music videos, among others for David Guetta and Kylie Minogue. Lewis was also part of two art projects by the photographer/artist Spencer Tunick and appeared on a double page in issue 52 of Visionaire,[13] shot by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott, Caramelo.

Lewis is signed with DNA Model Management[14] of New York and in 2011 appeared in advertisement campaigns for Davidoff[15] and Pal Zileri.[16]
