Light X Design: 20 Years of Lighting

Description

'Light x Design: 20 Years of Lighting' is a beautiful collection featuring the inimitable work of world-renowned lighting design guru Bentley Meeker, whose work encompasses events such as the wedding of Chelsea Clinton and Mark Mezvinsky. Detailing his 20 years of glamorous illuminations that range from elaborate weddings to simpler and more private yet notable events both indoor and out; here are case studies that encompass the entertainment high points that most of us experience at some point in our lives. Whether it be a wedding, a concert, a catwalk and fashion show, more formalised corporate events or bar mitzvahs, Meeker is unrivalled in his visionary lighting and design production. The setting might be a dreamy wintery wonderland of white and blue for a wedding, or a concert stage ablaze in vivid purples and reds. This is work that is consistently cutting-edge and inspirational; and that will translate for any affair, big or small. Bentley Meeker began his lighting career by working for renowned photographer Peter Vaeth at the age of 14, where he learned about lighting concepts for still and print photography. He subsequently utilised that knowledge to work on many studio release feature films and commercials before starting his lighting company at age 22. Meeker has worked on several special events for numerous celebrities including Robert DeNiro, Billy Joel and a host of others as well as many live performances including those of Aerosmith, and Elton John, to name a few. He is the founder and president of Bentley Meeker Lighting & Staging, Inc. He lives in New York City.
