Barefoot Landscape Lighting

February 19th, 2023. Captain Matt here, I'm in Borrego Springs, California. We're about to go ride some UTVs today, I'm happy to be in a place where the weather is nice, the weather in New York was starting to get to me. I just wanted to touch base, we had a little hiccup with take downs so I've been out running the crews and everything and I haven't really been doing these daily videos. Now that take downs are finished up I'll be getting back on track with these. I hope you all remember me! https://barefootlighting.com/?p=2585

Landscape Lighting Design Help From Captain Matt. Captain Matt here, it's 2023 a brand new year! I did a lot of videos last year and I'd like to jump into doing a few different things this year. One of those things is going to be some design help from Facebook groups, emails, or messages I get, not full blown designs but real quick overviews. Different artists have different techniques, I design to level 11. Usually when I give design help people get frustrated because I want them to do more than they want to do or what they think is necessary. However, that's the way I was taught to design, design what you want to do and figure out how you're going to do it afterwards. I'm going to start a new series, maybe once a month or once a week, just to see what I would design in different situations. So if you want any design help you can message me right here with pictures and I can help you out! https://barefootlighting.com/?p=2552

My Favorite Artist and Some of his Original Pieces Captain Matt here, I wanted to share some art I got from this artist Chance Hart. My mentor, who collects art, told me "when you see something and you fall in love with it, you're not going to be able to describe it and you're going to want everything they make". I saw this one, Self Portrait, and I messaged him that I wanted the original and not a print. I also got the original of the one that went viral. This one is called Unicorns, and I just love them all. https://barefootlighting.com/?p=2545

Take downs have begun, don't get left in the dark! Christmas Lights are Coming Down! 😱 Captain Matt here! Christmas is over and I just want to thank all of you guys for supporting my company again this year, it means the world to me that I can do what I'm so passionate about which is outdoor lighting. If you don't know I do illumination portraits outside for architectural lighting and landscape lighting, it's amazing and it will change your life! Ask anyone who has gotten one of my Captain Matt original designs, they will tell you it has. Especially during these northeast winters its gets very depressing around this time of year because it's dark for 14-16 hours a day, so once we take away those Christmas lights it's going to be so dark outside your homes! Let me change that! When you're sitting in your living room your view won't just end at your window it'll continue on with the lights. It's helped so much with cabin fever, I know how dark an...
