Gaffer & chief lighting technician
I am a gaffer and chief lighting technician based in Paris. I design and run the lighting on film, commercial, music video and fiction shoots, from the cinematographer’s intention through to what actually goes up on set: fixtures, power, grip, crew. Alongside the shoots I build tools for technical crews: Cinecyclop (equipment lists), Intermittor (French freelance status tracking), Lumographe (DMX lighting desk) and Tournesol (a two-axis motorised mirror). Recent work and the tools are below.
