“Light is intangible yet it is amazing as it governs how we perceive everything. It’s the only thing that can change a space at the flick of a switch and I’ve always wanted to be able to tell people how to use it and how to understand it properly,” explains Sally. “It’s very easy when you’re starting on an interiors project to get hold of textile samples and paint swatches to put together for the final effect, but it’s impossible with lighting because its all around us, it’s not specific but has a huge impact.

So with this course I’m hoping to explain how it works and give you a visual vocabulary to understand what different lighting can do – which film makes possible. Even understanding the difference between a ten degree beam as opposed to a wide beam light will make a huge difference to any space. If you’re interested to learn yourself, or you’re going to be working with architects and interior designers, this course will help you really understand what lighting your room will need.”
