Trish Odenthal Lighting Design Philosophy

"Balance the layers of light - within the constraints lies the solution."
Trish Odenthal

Reflection - Learning from Nature

"The angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection", lighting is like billiards, bouncing light at predictable angles.
Avoid glare - as illustrated with this image of sun on water - lighting angles, proper fixture placement, and glare control strategies - should be applied to illuminating your art and views.
Side angle of sunlight allow viewing below the surface of the water.
