Stanley Russell McCandless (May 9, 1897 – August 4, 1967) is considered to be the father of modern lighting design.
He paved the way for future lighting designers by making contributions to almost all aspects of theatrical lighting, from the engineering of lighting instruments to consultant work, and designing realized theatrical productions.
Perhaps most importantly he wrote on of the seminal works on the theory of stage lighting, which continues to influence the technique of most theatrical lighting designers to this day.
