Shadowing is a landscape lighting technique that plays with light and darkness to intentionally create an intriguing shadow on a vertical surface. The technique involves placing a light fixture, often a spot light, in front of an object, such as a tree, plant, or statue. The decorative shadow creates visual interest and inviting façade. Shadowing works best on plants that have open delicate foliage.
