This Photographer's Bright New Minority-Owned Hub for Creatives Has Opened in Memorial City

This Photographer's Bright New Minority-Owned Hub for Creatives Has Opened in Memorial City

Photographer Que Ewing says his new space is a 'blank canvas' for creatives.

A NEW MINORITY-owned creative hub in Memorial City (12525 Memorial Dr., Suite 290) hopes to provide the studio space necessary for both established and budding photographers and creatives to sharpen their skills, conduct business and excel in their creative projects.

Newly opened Q.S.P Studios, owned by award-winning local photographer Que Ewing of Q.S. Productions — a Houston-based photography and videography company specializing in video production, wedding photography, commercials and music videos — offers 1,300 square feet of white wall industrial space and massive, natural-light-providing windows to local creatives eager to practice their crafts.

The studio, available for hourly, half-day and full-day rental, also offers podcast hosting, hosting for small events like weddings, and monthly membership packages for creatives that will allow them to use the studio multiple times every month. Bookings start at $110 per hour, with a two-hour minimum rental time, and membership packages ranging from $350 per month to $450 per month.

"Being able to create a space where others like myself can come and express our creative talents was a must," said Que Ewing, founder and CEO of Q.S.P Studios, in a statement. "QSP Studios is now a creative hub for those who not only struggle creating, but for those who are also looking for help or advice in making sure they're headed in the right direction.

The new space can be rented for small weddings and other events.

"I wanted a space like a blank canvas, somewhere a creative can come and make the space completely their own," he continued.

In addition to offering the bright and airy space out for rental to local creatives, Q.S. Studios also offers the space out for in-house photography and videography sessions lead by Q.S. staff members.

With New Concept Album, Jacob Hilton Processes Mental-Health Struggles

Dakota Garrett

Jacob Hilton, a.k.a. Travid Halton, at home in his kitchen, where he enjoys cooking as a form of therapy.

PINK FLOYD'S THE Wall. Sinatra’s In the Wee Small Hours. Beyonce’s Lemonade. Three divergent examples of the album as a cathartic, psychological, conceptual work, meant to be experienced in a single sitting. Houston singer-songwriter Jacob Hilton, 37, who records as Travid Halton, a portmanteau of his mother and father’s names, might balk at being mentioned in such company. (This is a thoroughly unpretentious man, who describes himself as an “archaeologist turned singer-songwriter.”)

Leadership in Action: ‘Family, Community and Spiritual Connection’ Drives Success for Henry Richardson

Al Torres

How did you get to where you are today? The present moment is a combined history of my family, my time as an athlete, my passion for learning, and my desire to see the world be better. I grew up as a successful springboard and platform diver, however, an injury caused me to seek alternative treatments to heal my body. In that process, I discovered the power of yoga, exercise, meditation, mindset, and nutrition. This holistic approach eventually led me to open a Pilates and cycling studio called DEFINE body & mind. I opened studios around the nation, and after selling most of my business between 2017-2019, I was ready to explore how I could make an even greater impact on the wellbeing of our community. In 2023, I started actively working on a brand new multi-family/apartment concept called, Define Living. The idea focused on offering health and wellness services within a beautiful apartment setting to increase the wellbeing of our residents. Having a strong sense of community is the number one factor in living a happy life, so why not build a community where daily fitness, cooking classes, and social connection are the norm? We opened Define Living in March of 2024, and we couldn’t be happier with how things are being received. We are already looking at building more concepts like this in the Houston area and beyond.
