About

A unique immersive canvas for the world’s greatest creative minds.

 

Working hand-in-hand with the greatest artistic talents across art, music, film, fashion, science and more, Lightroom has reimagined what an immersive experience can look like. 

Our approach allows creative work of all disciplines to be seen in new light: offering artists and performers a new way to tell their stories; and audiences a new way to engage with creative work, whether they are a lifelong fan or discovering something for the very first time.

Our Creative Process

We believe in the power of working directly with the creative mind central to each show – be that David Hockney, Anna Wintour or Tom Hanks – as well as rights holders to create pioneering IP-led immersive experiences which combine storytelling and spectacle.

For each Lightroom production we assemble world-class, cross-disciplinary teams, integrating specialists from production, design, and technology. We also run an ongoing research and development programme that constantly evolves storytelling techniques, shaping our vision for future shows and allowing us to experiment with new creative approaches.

Our flagship London venue provides the flexibility to test new ideas in our showspace, share in-progress work with collaborators, and respond swiftly to new opportunities.

Cross-disciplinary Collaboration

Through a fusion of music, art and technology, we bridge gaps between creative disciplines in ways that are impossible anywhere else. In every show and live event at Lightroom, acclaimed artists, designers, composers and musicians work together to create truly groundbreaking new work.
