about me
Rik Schouten is the owner of luxewerk.nl with over 35 years of experience as a Gaffer and Lighting Designer.
Light determines the atmosphere for television and film and the ultimate success of a production.

Thanks to my years of experience in the lighting profession and training in photography and camera, I know what is technically possible and what is not.
I like to pull out all the stops for a nice picture, but I also love creativity, functionality and the art of omission.
