MalibuA Fall Sunset in Malibu, California

Description: I wanted to use the cyc to create the image of a sun setting. Malibu is known for being pink and fun, so I wanted my sunset to have some pinkish tones to really suggest location. I tried to light my actors naturally, using sidelight to show striking angles and shadows of an actual sunset.

Maine

Spring Sunrise in Maine

Description: Unlike Malibu, I wanted this lighting to feel very simple and plain because Maine is a quieter place. I wanted the sky to be a very light blue and the sun to be a very light yellow. I wanted the two colors to really blend together. On the model, I used a yellow, low side light to look like a rising sun, and to create shadows on the box.

Mexico

Description: I used a lot of orange light to really simulation the beating down of a warm sun. Mexico has lot of warm colors from the deserts and hot sunlight. I also included a sidelight to brighten the models face and make him visible.

New_England

Winter Afternoon in New England

Description: I know a winter afternoon in New England very well. The amazing thing, is when it’s all light blue and white. I wanted to use the cyc to create a really bright light colored sky. The model is also in a cool and white colored lighting. The lighting should make the stage feel cold and barren.
