et cetera...: A leading pioneer in the theatre lighting industry, Swiss-born Max Keller has been offering creative and technical solutions for the stage for more than 40 years.
Keller’s comprehensive knowledge and experience on some of the world’s most famous stages make him the definitive source for experts and those new to the field of stage lighting. His book, Faszination Licht, has been translated into multiple languages and is recognized as an indispensable handbook among the stage lighting community. In acknowledgment of his outstanding achievements, Keller was recently awarded the Federal Cross of Merit – a reward for loyal German citizens, equivalent to Britain’s Knighthood and France’s Legion of Honour.

I think it’s really interesting that Keller says that he has done everything before, despite all the growth in the field that he talks about. It's also interesting to read about how Keller feels that lighting has transitioned into a bigger aspect of theater. Since I’m young and relatively new to theater, for me, lighting has always been aspect of theater and I have not seen the transition from just turning on and off the lights to a full fledged design field. It is amazing that in the past 20 years the field has grown so much. Keller says that having technically minded people and design minded people together allowed for lighting to transition into more of an art but at the end of the day the light is only as good as how it is used. I was surprised that in an article for ETC he focused more on the people than on the technology. Since ETC wrote the article, I expected Keller to endorse their products more. While he did admit to liking their customer service, the article was not about the products and focused on Keller.
