Custom Lighting Workshops for Your Team
LED, HMI, CCT, CRI, DMX - There is a lot to know when it comes to lighting. I help teams bring their videos to life with better lighting. In my custom workshops, I show you how to make the most of light when filming. It’s not just about setting up lamps or softboxes. It’s about understanding how light shapes mood, space, and story.

Made for your needs
Each workshop is hands-on, practical, and fully tailored to your team’s needs. Whether you’re a marketing team shooting your own content or a creative agency looking to refine your visual style, we’ll focus on what really matters for your projects.
We’ll look at how light and shadow define the look of your video. How to make the most of natural and artificial light. Simple setups for interviews, product shots, or on-location filming and how to create atmosphere and depth with minimal gear.
My goal is to make lighting feel less technical and more creative so your team can play with it confidently and it make every video stand out.

Alex Schmutzler
Since 2011, I've been working in various roles in the film and video industry. As a Gaffer I shot hundreds of projects, from commercials, music videos, content, documentaries, and short films. As a videographer and director of photography, I have worked on various sets, from huge crews to just a few people. I know it’s not always a lighting truck; sometimes you need to make that one small light work. I’d be happy to hear what your team needs.
