halo

i have several dropped ceilings in my coffee shop   and the lighting effect above the dropped ceiling here in this photograph is dramatic yet soft.  the light emphasizes the overall height of the space by bringing your eyes to the ceiling.  it also creates an outline of the kitchen/bar space.  the light defines the space in this photograph.  this will be useful in my space because of the dropped ceilings, but it will also provide me with a way to define spaces without using walls.  my coffee shop is very open and by defining spaces with light, i believe i will be able to achieve many intimate spaces within one large space.
