THE WORKSHOP
A hauntingly beautiful Halloween special, in a private palace
Think beauty can’t live in the shadows?...
As Halloween draws near, you’re invited to claim your moment in a world that’s dark, decadent, and hauntingly beautiful.
Set in the shadowy grandeur of a Baroque palace, this is a world draped in velvet, lace and where gowns trail across marble floors.
Every corner of the palace drips with atmosphere, where flickers of shadows glide across gilded walls and rich textures bathe in darkness. This isn’t your typical Halloween shoot. It’s couture fashion with an edge and elegance with a shiver.
Unapologetically dark and decadently dramatic, this is portfolio ready imagery at its most intoxicating and high fashion at its darkest and most indulgent.
Isn’t it time your Halloween looked like this?
YOUR EDUCATOR
Jason
Lead Educator, Content
Jason is the technical brain behind the lighting setups, studio systems, and digital backbone of the Hub. From cinematic portrait lighting to high-end commercial setups, he teaches photographers how to shape light with confidence while somehow making the technical feel creative, simple, and genuinely fun.
When he’s not leading lighting education, Jason is usually behind the scenes building, fixing, upgrading, or reinventing the Creativity Hub digital world, from the website and event systems to the little innovations nobody notices until they stop working. Part photographer, part educator, part full-time tech fixer, he’s the reason both the lights and the website stay on.
Styled models & sets
Professionally styled models sets for all half-day or full-day sessions with dedicated models on each set.
Lunch & refreshments
A buffet style lunch with the team gives a welcome break for full-day attendees to reset, review pictures, and prepare for the afternoon sessions. Tea, coffee and pastries throughout the day for all guests.
Aftercare & community
A place in our community groups to share images and support fellow photographers in celebrating the best events shots, and stay in touch long after the event.
1-to-1 shooting time
With group sizes of only 3-4 so you will enjoy plenty of dedicated time within your group to shoot 1-to-1 with agency level models on each set. Never a scrum for position - paparazzi style shooting is strictly forbidden.
Direct access to a Lighting Director
To help your build confidence, every event kicks off with a full kit demo covering lighting and camera settings relevant for the event aesthetic. Lighting directors are always on-hand to take questions throughout the day if required.
Full lighting kit
Multi-light rig with a selection of modifiers to help you craft the perfect shots. You bring a camera, we provide the rest.
What's included
Everything except your camera.
Optional · we have these on hand
Tripod
Not required, most setups will be hand-held. Bring one if you prefer.
Reflectors / diffusers
Bring your own if you want to.
Laptop or Tablet
If you want to download and edit on the go!
A notebook and pen
Always a good idea to jot down what works well, and what doesn't.
Essentials
One camera body
Any system; full-frame, APS-C or micro four-thirds, film or digital. All welcome.
Two prime lenses
50mm and 85mm strongly recommended. A fast standard zoom (24-70mm) works too.
Two memory cards
64GB+ each. You'll shoot 400–600 frames.
Spare camera battery
One spare is plenty for the day. If staying for the weekend, don't forget your chargers!
What to bring
A short kit list. That's all.
*****
"The models were styled to an exceptionally high standard and the location was extraordinary, a gilded palace. Every aspect of their events is done to an exceptionally high standard."
