If you ever get a chance to go to a gallery that can adjust light when looking at one of his paintings, you’ll see that the lights in the windows, rooms and other places in the paintings really do light up. It’s cool.

Inspired by these galleries I installed multiple track lighting with dimmers all over my condo.

Most of what I hang is my own photography, but we just started collecting glass art. Glass has an intensity of color and reflection that is hard to get with oils.

I have some pictures that I would like to highlight with light. But I would like to light the picture from behind with the light - maybe an LED light - set in a box frame.

I understand there is a type of photo print that allows backlit lighting. On the internet I have seen photo lightboxes that light up the whole picture, but I would like the backlight to just highlight a certain part of the picture - like a star in the sky for example.

Do you have any advice or experience with backlit photography? thanks for replying

Kewl. I am a bit of an amateur expert in Scandanavian Glass if you need help let me know.
