lighting design

Planned artificial illumination

Lighting design is the craft of planning and arranging illumination for a space or production.

In theater and film, lighting designers shape mood, direct attention, and establish time of day through placement, color, and intensity of light sources.

In architecture and interior design, it balances practical visibility with aesthetic effect: The lighting design made the gallery feel intimate without sacrificing the artwork.
