I have never been to Vermont but I assume the sunsets are much darker and more intense than in Massachusetts, so I made the image a more intense version of a Massachusetts sunset. There is yellow on the horizon because the sun is still peaking through and that blends into an orangey red sky that is especially dark where the clouds are.
2. Easter Sunrise in a Gothic Cathedral
Backdrop L to R:
- L104 at 25%, top light
- G850 at full, top light
- L079 at full, top light
- L019 at 10%, top light
- AP6400 at 75%, bottom light
- G847 at 50%, bottom light
Model L to R:
- No color at 50%, side light 45 degrees
- L117 at 25%, side light 60 degrees
- L101 at full, top light
- L117 at 75%, back light
- L117 at 25%, side light 60 degrees
- No color at 50%, side light 45 degrees
When I thought of this I thought of stained glass and how the stained glass will make the blue light of the morning even bluer while the interior of the church will have more of a yellow light from the practicals mixing slightly with that intense blue.
3. Noon on a Hot Summer Day in the Caribbean
Backdrop L to R:
- AP3900 at full, top light
- AP4630 at full, floor light
Model L to R:
- AP4630 at 50%, side light 45 degrees
- R06 at full top light
- G370 at 50% side light 45 degrees
When I think of the Caribbean I think of blue. The sky is blue and the ocean so I made the top of the cyclorama a deeper blue that fades into a lighter one as it reaches the ground. On the person, I made a very bright light for the intense sun.
4. Winter Afternoon Just Before the Snow

- L226 at full, top light
- No color 30%, bottom light
- LHT062 75 %, bottom light
Model L to R:
- L053 at 50 %, side light 45 degrees
- L130 at full, top light
- L130 at full, back light
- L053 at 50%, side light 45 degrees
Before it snow, the sky gets very white with gray as it gets closer to the ground. There are no shadows because the sun is not there to create them, and everything takes on this very flat gray light that is trapped between the ground and the clouds.
