Lightroom is a new storytelling medium for the world’s greatest creative minds. Our approach allows creative work of all disciplines to be seen in a 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 lifelong fans or discovering something for the very first time.

Through groundbreaking collaborations with leading artistic talents across art, music, film, fashion, science, and more, Lightroom is establishing itself as a new home for London’s cultural audiences.

Lightroom’s critically acclaimed shows released to date include: David Hockney: Bigger & Closer; The Moonwalkers: A Journey with Tom Hanks; Vogue: Inventing the Runway; and Prehistoric Planet: Discovering Dinosaurs.

A joint venture between 59 Studio and London Theatre Company, Lightroom was founded in 2023 by Nick Starr CBE and its current CEO, Richard Slaney. Lightroom’s innovative show space in London, King’s Cross, was designed by 59 Studio in collaboration with Haworth Tompkins.

Lightroom’s shows are currently playing in cities across Europe via a major new partnership with French company Culturespaces, which sees Lightroom shows presented across Culturespaces’ network of European venues. Touring shows are also playing in South Korea, China and the United States.
