System and method for re-configuring a lighting arrangement

A light controller adapted to re-configure a lighting arrangement used to light a scene which is to be captured by an image capture device, the light controller adapted to:

• obtain an initial image of the scene using an initial configuration of the lighting arrangement;
• develop an image content map identifying at least one scene characteristic of at least a part of the scene captured in the initial image;
• determine an effect for a further image to be captured based on the scene;
• in accordance with the at least one scene characteristic identified in the image content map, select from a plurality of factors at least one factor involving adjustment in order to achieve the determined effect for the further image;
• determine light modifications for the further image to be captured by analyzing the initial configuration of the lighting arrangement, the effect, and the at least one factor;
• and
• develop at least one lighting parameter for re-configuring the lighting arrangement based on the determined light modifications,
• wherein the light controller adapted to select the at least one factor involving adjustment comprises determining a plurality of weighting values for the selected factors based on the factor's association with the effect and ranking the selected factors based on the determined weighting values.
