MVP – Olympia, London
Collaborating with Sky Sports Boxing and Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions on the Dubois vs Harper fight at Olympia was a great experience.
The lighting and video design for MVP Fight Night was conceived as a bold, atmospheric production that balanced spectacle with the architectural challenges of the venue. 👁️
One of the defining visual elements was the treatment of the venue’s expansive white walls. These were carefully illuminated to act as a canvas - washed with clean, even light to enhance the scale of the space while also allowing for subtle colour transitions during key moments.
LED tubes integrated in the main staircase gave the fighter entrances a strong visual identity - creating a dynamic runway effect framing the boxers as they descended.
The venue’s many windows posed a significant technical and creative challenge. Natural light posed potential issues for both lighting control and video clarity, particularly during daytime segments. The design team had to carefully balance exposure - using strategic lighting levels, directional fixtures and screen brightness to maintain image integrity while preventing washout.
Overall, the design turned a complex, light-filled venue into a cohesive and immersive fight night environment. #maxconwell #nakedeyelighting

Boxxer - The World Awaits, Copper Box Arena, London
Boxxer Fight Night at the Copper Box Arena on 31 January delivered a full-throttle night of boxing wrapped in arena-scale spectacle.
Copper Box was transformed into a cauldron of noise and light, with a tightly packed crowd amplifying every walkout, every exchange and every decisive moment under the lights. From the opening bell to the final announcement, the atmosphere felt raw, modern and unmistakably Boxxer - fast-paced, TV-driven and built for drama. 👁️
A standout feature of the production was the lighting design, which played a huge role in shaping the broadcast look. Four-metre Sceptron drops descended above the ring, creating a bold vertical frame that punched straight into the camera shots. These towering light elements added depth and scale on screen, catching fighters in sharp silhouettes during entrances and accentuating key moments between rounds.
The Sceptrons weren’t just decorative - they were engineered to work with the cameras, reinforcing the intensity of the action and giving the night a distinctive, high-impact visual identity that carried seamlessly from then arena to the audience at home. #maxconwell #nakedeyelighting

BOXXER - First Direct Arena, Leeds
BOXXER’s ‘The Future Now’ headlined by Callum Simpson vs Troy Williamson took place just before Christmas - a high profile British/European title fight broadcast live and free-to-air on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer.
The lighting design focused on clean broadcast readability, brand reinforcement and dramatic separation between fight moments and walk-ins. 👁️
Truss mounted GLP X4 Bars were positioned evenly around the ring perimeter, angled precisely to downlight the branded ringside carpet. These beams created a crisp shaft of light that framed the ring without spill into the audience, ensuring BOXXER logos remained camera-sharp throughout the broadcast. The fixtures were programmed with subtle intensity modulation rather than colour changes, maintaining a premium, boxing specific aesthetic.
Complementing Hybrid floor beams integrated at head height either side of the ring walk entrance played into the cameras. These fixtures project tight, high-intensity beams horizontally across the entrance corridor, sitting just above performer eye line. This placement allows the beams to cut cleanly through haze, forming a luminous tunnel that frames the talent as they enter. Because the beams are aligned laterally, they register strongly in side-angle and three quarter camera shots, producing defined shafts of light that add depth and scale without obscuring faces. #maxconwell #nakedeyelighting

Richard Hawley - Coles Corner, Sheffield City Hall
Across three sold-out nights, Richard Hawley marked 20 years of Coles Corner with deeply felt performances rooted in nostalgia and hometown pride.
The lighting and video scheme reinforces the nostalgia, intimacy and personal connection at the heart of Coles Corner - an album about memory, love, place and time. 👁️
By using warm tungsten lighting, relaxed ambience, mirror ball highlights and personal visual content - the production design mirrors the emotional landscape of the music and enhances the audience’s immersion in this 20-year celebration of timeless night-time storytelling.
The video imagery is edited to feel organic and slightly imperfect - lightly flickering flames, soft colour grading and grain - like watching home video on an old projector. These lend a personal, documentary feel that complements the music’s introspection. #maxconwell #nakedeyelighting

BOXXER and BBC Sport - Vaillant Live Arena, Derby
After 20 years, boxing has returned to BBC Saturday night primetime TV!
The deal between BBC Sport and BOXXER marked a historic return of major professional boxing to BBC television after more than two decades.
The chosen headliner for the revival night on Saturday 29 November, was Frazer Clarke @frazerclarke vs Jeamie TKV Tshikeva @jeamietkvboxing - a British Heavyweight Title fight at the Vaillant Live Arena @vaillantlive with a main support bout between Fran Hennessy @_franhennessyy and Fabiana Bytyqi @bytyqifabiana
The brief was to deliver a dramatic, TV-friendly heavy-weight spectacle that reads as big and cinematic in-venue while meeting the BBC’s strict broadcast requirements. That meant a dual-purpose design: one look for the live audience (atmospheric, brand-forward) and one for camera (even, flicker-free, high definition). 👁️
BOXXER’s visual identity (teal/green accents) was used as the primary accent colour, with the BBC’s editorial clarity and Whisper’s and Vivid’s production expertise shaping the technical approach.
The event was positioned not just as a single ‘big fight’, but a reinvestment in free-to-air British boxing creating access for long-time fans and newcomers alike. @maxconwell @nakedeyelighting

Bridge of Lies - BBC One. Quiz Show presented by Ross Kemp @rosskemptv
Series 5 of Bridge of Lies, has been commissioned by the BBC and STV Studios for 25 new daytime and 10 primetime Saturday night episodes planned to air in 2026.
The recommission underscores the show’s continuing popularity and success, as the team in Glasgow Pacific Quay Studios #bbcpacificquay returns with fresh contestants tackling the bridge’s risky truths and lies under high tension. 👁️
This year, lighting designer Max Conwell led the transition of the key lighting system from traditional fixtures to LED-based Ayrton Khamsin automated units. The change was driven by the need for greater flexibility, improved energy efficiency, and tighter creative control during live and recorded segments.
The Khamsin delivers very high lumen output from a compact unit - a single Khamsin can provide powerful key light for a host or contestant line where older fixtures needed multiple units to achieve the same output. This gives more headroom for contrast, stronger separation, and keeps the studio rig neater while giving a sharper, more cinematic studio aesthetic and keeping the show punchy and TV-friendly. #maxconwell #nakedeyelighting

Six Kings Slam - Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Six Kings, one crown - the world’s top-ranked men’s tennis players took to the court in Riyadh for a star-studded live tennis showcase. #SixKingsSlam
Extremely privileged to be appointed lighting designer for this showdown, a key part of Riyadh Season @riyadhseason and His Excellency Turki Alalshik @turki featuring six of the biggest names in tennis. 👁️
The 2025 tournament opened with a dazzling hologram show and is framed as much more than a tennis match: part sport-event, part premium entertainment. The lighting design aligns with ‘showtime’ rather than purely sports functional.
Brought in by TSL Lighting @tsl_lighting and collaborating closely with IMG @img Netflix @netflix and Sela @sela - the design delivered a dynamic, visually striking environment that celebrates the energy, speed and emotion of the game.
The event was lit predominantly with Robe @robelighting Forte and Spiider fixtures supplying a consistent high ISO giving a flicker-free, uniform court illumination with strong contrast on player faces and minimal glare that the broadcast required.
Supported in the UK by Barry Denison of TSL, in Riyadh by lighting director Mark Gardiner @markgardiner4422 and gaffer Will Gallegos. #maxconwell #nakedeyelighting

The Inner Circle - new BBC gameshow hosted by @noholdenback
Saturday 4th October saw the launch of a brand-new Saturday night primetime gameshow, with a daily daytime show starting Monday 7th.
A privilege to work with the amazing Amanda Holden and her fantastic team for the first time. 👁️
The lighting rig supplied by Limelight Lighting features Robe MegaPointes, chosen for their huge variation of beam and colour looks. AVL Retro Lights are spaced around the set dressing, these vintage gold reflector lights used on the pilot were updated with the addition of Astera NXY LED Bulbs tying them into the various gameplay colour states, while Colorforce 72s were a perfect fit for the grill backlighting. A combination of Martin Viper XIPs and Varilite VL2600s were used for keylighting.
Overall, the lighting design is flexible, colourful and dynamic - complementing the show’s lively entertainment style and Amanda Holden’s charismatic presence.
Special thanks to producers Nick Gunaydin and David Marshall for their constant support, director John Smith for his steady hand at the helm and Rob Bradley for LD cover. #maxconwell #nakedeyelighting
