Depth is tricky, because it can be an illusion. Light in the theatre often does create the illusion of depth with specific use of angles and gobos. It is shadows, more than anything, that can create this illusion. I took these images while at a friend's house this week. I love the way light entering through windows casts shadows on the walls and floors, creating the illusion of depth in an image, and giving the impression of something that exists on the other side of the window. In these images, light enters the rooms in such a way that shadows create a sort of pseudo perspective, giving the impression of interior depth.
Nice images and thoughts. Depth in lighting can be seen in many ways but most importantly is in composition, without a 3 dimensional environment and the use of varying foreground and background the eye cannot differentiate space. This can be clearly seen in a digital rendering that has not been lit, or in reality, in a room lit entirely with fluorescent light - the eye simple does not know where to look, so it can be tricked as to where depth truly exits.
