“My real job description is to light a set
and the ideas all come from a 300-400
year period of painting during the
Renaissance throughout 15th, 16th,
17th century in northern Europe.
All ideas about how to create
images that are expressive and
use light as the metaphor for
understanding a meaning of
what the painting or image is all
come from this one time period.”
