THE WORKSHOP
Welcome to the city that never sleeps...
Neon flickers against rain-slicked streets, shadows twist in alleyways, and every corner hums with secrets. Tonight, you direct.
Welcome to Neo Noir, a high-styled world of fashion, suspense, and cinematic drama, and you’re in charge.
Here, shadows slice through concrete corridors, flickering neon signs pulse with life, and retro-futuristic gels flood every corner in electric colour. Welcome to your suspense-filled summer thriller, a gritty playground where you call the shots, frame the action, and orchestrate every moment.
Are you ready for your next plot twist?…
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
Hair, makeup, period wardrobe, three styled corners of a private Hertfordshire manor.
Lunch & refreshments
A proper sit-down lunch with the team. Tea, coffee and pastries throughout the day.
