Lighting should be there to serve the work and not to be bigger than the work. It should be what lends itself best to the creative output. If you blend lighting with the rest of the piece, you always get the best outcome for the show. 

Ciarán trained at East 15 Acting School. He has been working as a Lighting Designer for over a decade.
