Capturing the Magic of Shadows. Illuminating Windsong Subdivision, in Winter Park, Florida with Stunning Landscape Lighting Effects.
Shadows are not just absence of light; they are an integral part of the lighting design that adds
texture and dimension to your outdoor space. By strategically placing light fixtures, we can
manipulate shadows to highlight architectural features, trees, plants, and other elements in
your landscape.
1. Silhouetting:
Silhouetting is a classic technique that never fails to impress. By placing a light source behind a focal point such as a tree, sculpture, or architectural feature, we create a striking silhouette against a backdrop, adding drama and depth to your landscape. Silhouetting is a favorite pick for highlighting the unique shapes and forms in your outdoor space.

2. Grazing:
Grazing is a versatile technique that involves placing a light fixture close to a textured surface, such as a stone wall or column, to create intriguing shadows that accentuate the surface details. This technique adds dimension and visual interest to your hardscape elements, making
them stand out in the nighttime landscape.

3. Moonlighting:
Emulating the soft, diffused light of the moon, moonlighting is a favorite pick for creating a romantic and ethereal ambiance in outdoor spaces. By positioning fixtures high up in trees or structures, we cast gentle, dappled light that filters through branches and foliage, casting beautiful shadows on the ground below.

4. Shadow Play with Foliage:
Enhance the beauty of your trees and shrubs by using strategic lighting to create captivating shadow patterns on the ground and surrounding surfaces. By playing with light angles and intensity, we can transform ordinary plants into dynamic focal points that evolve with the changing light, adding a touch of magic to your landscape.
