Miguel Ribeiro
Senior Lighting Artist / Lead Lighter · Illumination Studio Paris
Behind every shot that has ever struck you lies invisible, essential lighting work. Miguel has made it his signature. With more than a decade spent elevating the image on international productions, he has lit worlds as varied as mainstream animation and premium series, from Sing 2 to Minions 3 and The Serpent Queen.
Working with Miguel means learning lighting from someone who has practiced it at the highest level of the industry, on films seen by millions. He passes on not only the technique but the eye: the ability to tell a story and create emotion through light alone.

★ Best seller Lighting · One-Year Program
For one year, train as a lighter on real professional shots, animated beforehand: interior day, interior night, exterior day, exterior night, plus a month dedicated to compositing and your demo reel.
Interior Day Lighting
The first module of the program: it lays the foundations of the lighter's craft and teaches you to build a believable, readable, cinematic interior daylight setup.
Interior Night Lighting
Create indoor night moods, where every artificial source counts to produce immersive, cinematic images.
Exterior Day Lighting
Time for wide open spaces: manage natural light, atmosphere and depth on ambitious exterior sets.
Exterior Night Lighting
The most demanding module: create complex exterior night moods where moon light and practical lights become your only narrative instruments.
