Awards for Excellence 2019, ALD Winners! (Your News)
2019’s winners were announced at the Annual Lighting Lunch held at London’s Victoria Park Plaza in December.
The awards are a celebration of imaginative and creative lighting and video production and represent a chance for young designers to showcase their talent, bringing their work to the attention of experienced lighting and video designers, as well to the wider reach of industry professionals.
The coveted Michael Northen Award for Lighting Design was this year awarded to two outstanding winners. Named in honour of the first credited lighting designer in the UK and his work on the The Mousetrap which can still be seen in London’s West End today, joint winners were Lucìa Sanchez Roldan from RADA whose work the judges thought “beautiful… with strong design, clear choices, and great angles” and Rose Bruford’s Ryan Joseph Stafford, who was commended for his ambition to create different looks for each piece.
