Paul Collison's job involves a lot of coffee. He's a designer of lighting and sets for special, corporate and televised events. "I've done a show in a Queensland town with a population of 13 people and seen over 5000 people arrive in cars, utes, buses, trucks and planes" he shares.

People often don't completely understand the transformative power of light and how it will effect their space – until they are reminded of an Olympic Games or a great theatre or music show or enter a space that leaves a lasting impression, says Mary-Anne Kyriakou.

"It's nice to go around and see places. We have fun, we work with friends for long hours, so we get pretty close to the people around us. It doesn't feel like work." Richard Neville, Lighting designer shares what working in a bright industry is like.

"You need to be neat and tidy, because you're always at someone else's house. You go to an old lady's house, so you gotta be polite and well dressed. [But sometimes] It's hard when you've been in a roof and you're covered with cobwebs!" But for Luke Hutchinson, Electrican, it's all part of the job.
