ABOUT LIGHTROOM

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 a lifelong fan 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. Our latest show, David Bowie: You’re Not Alone, transports visitors inside the many worlds of David Bowie. Through combining iconic performances, rarely‑seen interviews and never‑before‑exhibited material, the show celebrates Bowie’s creative mind, spirit and soul – resulting in both a multimedia spectacle and an intimate and revealing self‑portrait.

Lightroom’s flagship venue is based in London King’s Cross, situated next to Coal Drop’s Yard. Our shows have also played in 11 cities worldwide. Outside of London, Lightroom’s shows have played in France, Germany, Amsterdam, South Korea, China, Singapore and the United States.
