Lighting is an essential way to change the mood of a room, especially if you can use dimmers.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
To me, lighting really sets the mood for a room. A 40 watt bulb in a cheap lamp is the same as a 40 watt bulb in an expensive one.
You can sometimes avoid costly mistakes. Paint a corner of the room a certain color to see how the light affects it. Or buy just one yard of an expensive fabric to see how you like it in your room.
I love lamps. I can't stand overhead lighting. I have to have everything on a dimmer.
Realizing this, I knew that the actual space of a room could be broken down and played with by planting illusions of real light (electric light) at crucial junctures in the room's composition.
I like candles. It helps cover up for the fact that I have four male roommates.
It's more fun if you can control things like lighting and make special effects in the darkroom.
Throughout my pictures I employ a lighting which is not naturalistic.
A room is like a stage. If you see it without lighting, it can be the coldest place in the world.
Light is what gives joy to buildings.
A room is not a room without natural light.
