Gaffing in my mind, on any project is more than lighting.
My role as Gaffer is to communicate collaboratively and unlock the vision within the Story, the DP & Director.
Once this is realised, only then can we begin pre-lighting & testing, continuing to perfect the light set ups and ensure without a doubt - that the final product will impact the audience in the manner desired, no matter the medium.
In hiring my lighting services on your project as gaffer, I will provide passion, professionalism, support and a creative collaborative spirit, as well as gear & technical knowledge.
Because my life is divided, like everyone else’s life, between light and shadow. And what’s in the light? There are colors. Who, as Leonardo Da Vinci called them, are the children of the marriage between light and shadow. If I do not have the opportunity to bring light, shadow and colors into harmony or, occasionally, in conflict, I don’t feel able to express myself
