THE WORKSHOP
Hold onto your hat and step into the funfair of couture!
The Fairground is your ticket to a dizzying world of flashing lights, spinning rides, and endless excitement but keep your wits about you.. this ride is fast, fun, and fabulous!
Glide through candy-striped corridors, twirl atop carousel horses and catch the thrills before the lights go out! This is fashion, fantasy, and utterly unforgettable.
The main attraction is calling. The lights are flashing, the barkers are calling and the funhouse doors won’t wait for anyone!
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.
