Don Farrall opened Light-Works Studio, Inc. in Lincoln, NE in 1988.  Since then, Don has produced photography for local, regional, national and international clients. Being based in "fly over country", Don had to become well versed in a wide variety of photographic styles, with a wide range of photographic skills.  Fortunately for Don, a nationally recognized Advertising and Marketing firm, Swanson Russell (www.swansonrussell.com) is also located in Lincoln.  Since coming to Lincoln, Don has been the main "Studio - Product Photographer" of choice for Swanson Russell, producing award winning work for their clients. 

 

In 2019, Don added Video Production capabilities to the services being offered by Light-Works Studio, Inc.  Years of shooting stills are proving to be a valuable asset to this new endeavor.  The general activities involved in the production of images, moving or still, involve a lot of cross over activities and skills.  In either case, content is produced to capture attention and motivate the viewer.  Don's relentless pursuit for quality can be seen in the careful attention to lighting, and a genuine desire to achieve the highest quality final product.  Light-Works Studio has invested heavily in the supporting equipment to achieve this goal; visit the services tab for an  video equipment list.

​

In 2018, Madison Sobotka started working at Light-Works Studio as an intern.  Madison recently received her Associates Degree in Photography, from Metropolitan Community College.  Over the past three years Madison has proven herself to be a valuable member of the Light Works team, assisting with still and video productions and shooting for a number of Light Works clients.  Madison brings a great eye for details and design, and Light Works is pleased to have her join the studio as a photographer, production assistant, video camera operator and video editor.
