I joined the film industry in as a Camera Technician, 1984, fresh from engineering college, I worked primarily on Aaton film cameras. Met some very interesting cameramen & women with some incredible filming stories, so in 1987 I decided to become a Camera Assistant, spent most of the 90’s travelling the World on various filming assignments, primarily with the late great Director Brian Duffy & his DOP son Chris along with the odd dangerous documentary that often required all those engineering skills to keep the cameras on the road. When Duffy retired, I worked on a range of anthropology films with Chris Hooke for WGBH Boston, Discovery Channel & Channel 4 along with a host of TV Commercials, Music videos and the occasional TV drama.
At the end of the 90’s I started shooting for myself, then in 2001 the opportunity arose to design, build and run a new film studio, built based on my filming experiences prior. The Camden Studio came into fruition Aug 2001. You may well have shot there and already worked with me. I had 19 years of running a busy studio in management, as DOP or the Gaffer on over 2,000 shoots, from shooting the very first five 'Strictly' title sequence to live broadcasts, TV commercials, music promos, TV shows, dramas, documentaries and just about anything else that can go in front of a camera. Creating some top class lighting Gaffers on the way, all very successful in our industry today, I am very proud of that achievement.
Developers bought the studio area in 2000, however that gave us the unique opportunity to get back out full time on location, but this time with a new lighting company. That was nearly 4 years ago and wow have we been busy, today we have a bespoke lighting company that can tailor to all your needs, with many Commercials, Music videos and TV dramas under our belt. My background experience and knowledge has been second to none in our mission to create beautiful lighting along with a band of knowledgeable user friendly electricians. I know what the DOP wants because I know what he's thinking, this makes a great combination to build your vision into a reality on the ground and a safe friendly pair of hands for production to deal with. 2024 we now have the capacity to take on a few more clients so take a peak at the rest of the website and drop us a line for a chat, we are flexible and will always try to accommodate your ever shrinking budget.

Max joined the company in 2012, already a qualified electrician, straight away became a great asset to the team. First put under the wing of John Turley my Gaffer, Max got stuck in immediately and flourished under John's tuition and soon became a very competent knowledgeable electrician with good eye to light a scene. Max can handle all aspects of a shoot on location or studio, either on his own or with a team of electricians.
