Hey, I’m Alex, a British lighting technician and gaffer.
For the best part of a decade, I’ve worked on everything from mad little indie projects to big-boy productions. Either way, I’m all about getting the job done well, without anyone tripping over cables—safety first, drama second.
If you have a project that needs illumination, I’d be happy to talk about it. Let’s chat.
