Author, designer, innovator, and lecturer Randall Whitehead is best known as the leading personality in the U.S. today in the field of residential lighting. He has drawn upon his experience from over a quarter century of consulting practice to develop a unique and comprehensive body of knowledge about lighting and how it affects us everywhere we live and work. Randall has appeared many times as a guest expert on The Discovery Channel, HGTV, and CNNfn. He has developed an extensive series of seminars on lighting design and has produced them throughout the United States, Canada and South America. He is the author of eight highly acclaimed books on lighting design, the most recent of which is Residential Lighting, a Practical Guide (John Wiley and Sons, Newark, New Jersey, December, 2003).

Randall is also a prolific and intrepid photographer, documenting his world travels with an eye that shows his eternal curiosity and fascination for the unexplored corners of our lives and our perceptions. Abandoned places, forgotten toys, existentially empty landscapes - all these can hold surprising moments of ethereal beauty, terror, and poignancy.
