This photo is a great example of the way the texture of lighting can impact shape and the look of a space. The color allows for a mystical tone and gobos/texture lead to an interesting creation of shape for both the actress and the set. By adding shadows into the scene but also highlighting the actress the focus is obvious and yet the audiences attention is captured. The presence of shadows forces the audience to look closer and gives the set a mystical feel.
With the streaked texture of the blue lights on the back wall, the transparent fabric loosely draped over the wall and wooden structures, and the wave-like dispersions of light on the floor and set, I definitely read this scene to be set underwater.
