Bio'
Alan Started his working career at a young age, enduring frosty mornings in the Scottish highlands on the family farm. A warm Australian 4am call time in comparison is a luxury.
Electrical and Mechanical engineering qualifications led to a career as an Electrician. Both Domestic and industrial environments, including RAF bases, and maintenance for Airport runway lighting, which served as a great foundation for the many location challanges faced in the lighting department.
Looking for adventure, he took is knowledge and experience with him to the world of film and television lighting. ... Something he had always been interested in as a child, noticing the obvious delay in lighting cue's on UK sitcoms!
Alan's Film Lighting Carreer began with Lee Lighting in Glasgow, then Edinburgh, Manchester and London, as the company adapted and became Panalux, part of the Panavision Family.
Going on to work on many UK films, drama's, commercials, music video's, sports programs, and childrens television. Including a trip to New Zealand for Peter Jackson's "King Kong"
Moving permanently to Sydney, Australia in 2010, Alan worked with many DOP's and other Gaffers, on a wide range of projects. Alan is now a full time Gaffer, working mainly on TVC's, advertising content, and promo's, in Sydney and across Australia.
Today Alan has an extensive list of content to his name. He loves his work, and enjoys the collaboration with other departments. With an upbeat outlook, and a personable character, he helps to bring the set to life, with his creative lighting and posotive attitude.
When not on set, Alan can be found spending time with his family, doing school drop offs, and hanging out with his wife.
Alan is looking forward to working with you soon.
