LUKAS
STREBEL SCS
Born: 1951, Mägenwil, Switzerland.
Education: Kunstgewerbeschule, Zürich.
Career: 'Lukas Strebel's ambition from an early age was to be a film director, but Switzerland had no film schools at that time, so he followed the stills photography route, serving a four year apprenticeship in a Zurich Fashion and Commercial Photographic Studio, before coming to England in the 70s to teach photography at the Bath Academy of Art. After two years in the USA as Artist in Residence, Lukas returned to Switzerland and started in the film industry as a stills photographer, then a camera assistant, progressing rapidly to lighting. He spent the next twenty years working throughout Europe as a Director and Director of Photography before moving back to England [1998], drawn by the culture, the language, and the greater variety of scripts available.' [From the Kodak website.] Ph commercials [dir by Urs Egger, Michael Fueter, a.o.], music videos and corporate films. Directed commercials for Swisscom, Le dimanche, ABB, a.o.
Awards: DKP Fernsehfilm nom [1998] for 'Opernball'.
