About Us
Welcome to Lamp Creatives Collaborative (or Lamp Creatives for ease)! We run free-attendance events that bring together creatives involved in modern visual arts and visual commerce art, such as photography, videography, modelling, styling and hair-and-makup art; and collaborate together to learn about the art of telling a story through artistic and creative expressions, create concepts and media, and inspire others through the message and story told from that media.
Our events attract a wide range of experiences including beginners in the creative arts and creative industry, but also highly experienced and established professionals within the creative industry who take the opportunity to experiment, rebuild their portfolios, network, and above all, enjoy the experience of creating with like-minded people in a safe, welcoming and inclusive environment.

Our Story
Lamp Creatives Collaborative organically started from the Founder trying to make a start in the creative industry and recognizing the challenges of making a first step, finding the safe spaces, and being given a go within a friendly, welcoming and professional manner that didn't break the bank.
After working with several creatives, and coordinating different creatives on a larger scale, the Founder formalized the concept of what is now 'Lamp Creatives Collaborative' to bring together modern creative artists who share in the same values and ethos of the vision, and a shared goal of using this platform to provide positive change in the world, whilst making it accessible for people of all backgrounds, levels and abilities to try new ideas and develop skills as story-tellers and professional creatives.

Values & Ethos
In trying to be conscientious of the impact and influence models, photographers and videographers have, we are committed to ensuring we are as ethical as possible through our workshops. Whilst we have no expectations on personal behaviors and preferences, we do have expectations on what is captured and shared through photograph and video. This includes the expectations of photos/videos aligning to the following:
-
No positive depictions of smoking, drug use or alcohol use
-
No animal cruelty or harm to animals
-
No harm or damage to the environment
-
No positive depiction of violence or war
-
No coarse language, profanity or violent language
-
No defamatory or derogatory depictions of gender, race, culture or disability.
-
Not promote fast-fashion modelling and aim to use and promote recycled, eco-friendly and second-hand fashion as much as possible
-
No discrimination on a person based on their body shape, size, gender, sex, ethnicity, culture, or community
-
Strive for equity and inclusion both in front of the camera, and also behind the scenes
-
Create safe, welcoming, inclusive and supportive spaces for creatives to feel secure, comfortable and confident
