About the programme

Lighting is a powerful tool that if designed thoughtfully, lends a narrative quality to an image. Join concept artist Calvin Chua as he takes you on a journey to light a scene; see how he sets the general tone and mood with lighting design, and delve deeper into specific areas to highlight its narrative. Will the closed door in the scene remind us of beautiful memories or a painful past? Let Calvin shine a light on how lighting can manipulate a story in this session!
