Murder on the Express: The Return Journey with Gavin Hoey

A film noir photography workshop with Gavin Hoey as lighting director, disguised as a deadly game of Cluedo on a vintage railway.

One murder. Too many suspects. And you, holding a camera like it’s the only weapon you’ve got. Spoiler: it might be.


Murder on the Express: The Return Journey isn’t your typical photography workshop. It’s a sleuth of cinematic shadows, secrets, and sharp suits, set in the haunting echo of a vintage train station.


You’ll be dropped straight into a film noir railway station with flickering lights, cryptic clues, and characters who lie smoother than their pressed lapels. You’ll craft images drenched in noir style with stark contrasts, sharp angles, and smoke-filled rooms strike as you hunt for the murderer among a cast of suspects, each hiding secrets darker than the last. This is style and suspense with a cigarette burn around the edges.


When the smoke clears and all that’s left is the truth—will your photos crack the case, or just capture your final mistake?

The Final Stop

Welcome aboard the most dangerous workshop you'll ever attend.

This isn’t just a lighting workshop. It’s your alibi.


Welcome to The Final Stop, a film noir lighting experience wrapped in murder, mystery, and enough atmosphere to choke on. Set in the creaking belly of a vintage railway station that’s seen more secrets than schedules, you’re not here to play it safe.


You’re here to master the kind of cinematic lighting that oozes tension, suspicion and cigarette smoke with deep shadows, sharp beams, and the creeping feeling that someone—or something—is watching from just outside the frame. You’ll learn to shape light the way noir demands: hard, unforgiving, and dripping with tension. One wrong angle, and your subject looks innocent. One flick of light, and suddenly, they’re guilty as sin. Every scene is a setup. Every angle a clue.


And the biggest mystery? Whether you’re lighting the suspect… or the next victim.
