Lana McKinnon

Lana McKinnon works behind the camera in the costume and make-up department, shaping the visual presence and style of characters across contemporary television. Her recent screen credits include the series Dark Matter and Shining Girls, two projects where styling, wardrobe, and cosmetics play an active role in establishing the visual world on screen.
