June 27, 2018 picture taken by me in Tennessee

Theme: Surreal

I took this photo in Tennessee at Pigeon Forge. This photo comes from a mirror maze I was in and I love how eerie it looks since you can’t see the end of the maze from this angle.

Theme: Surreal

Description: Migraines plus doing homework in my dorm often make me feel trapped in one place. This image and this lighting makes me feel the same way, trapped in a small room with faint light, coming in through blinds that make lines along the floor.

This is from The Exorcist. I like the use of silhouette, especially when paired with the strong spotlight effect that is visible with the fog. The Overhead lamp also helps to give just enough context to really make it seem like this character is crossing into a new world. The stark contrast between the character silhouette and the glowing beam of light make it stand out. The spotlight also creates a strong line. There is a lot of mystery, involved, as it makes it seem like the very location itself is alive and aware of this outsider’s presence. For my re-creation I also utilized Gobo effects to mimic the lights in the house, which act as a bit of color contrast against an otherwise entirely blue toned scene.

This picture captures a vibrant red sunset. I’ve always found bright red sunsets to be so mystifying as a typical sunset consists of softer yellows and oranges. However, this bright red captures the passion and intensity the hue normally makes me think of. Seeing the typical blue sky be slowly enveloped by this punch of red feels truly surreal.

Prompt Hunt

This photo felt surreal to me because this is not naturally occurring light. It reminds me of the burning bush from the bible and it just feels a little magical.

2) This is a still from the movie Inception (2010) starring Leonardo DiCaprio.

3) THEME: Surreal

4) DESCRIPTION: I chose this photo because Inception is all about dreams, and I think dreams are the most surreal daily occurrence in human life. The buildings folding in on themselves are bizarre and off-putting to look at. There is a tunnel of light created by the folding buildings that acts as a spotlight for the figures in the forefront of the image. The image is very monochromatic, with a spectrum of cool grays composing the color palette. The color palette and tunnel of light both seem like they could be almost real, but the subtle artificiality confuses the viewers’ brains, which is what makes the image (and lighting in the image) so surreal.

A Still from Coraline

I chose this photo because when I think surreal I think of Coraline and the “Otherworld” because of how impossible everything is in that world. I chose a picture of the tunnel leading to the otherworld because the colors in this tunnel aren’t realistic based on the fact that they are supposed to be natural colors. This also has a big juxtaposition to the real world and how everything is realistic and has no color or imagination. The way the blue and pink lights are so strong yet don’t cast color onto Coraline shows how she does still have a grasp on reality but It also displays how these lights arent achieving a realistic way of shining. The entire thought of this tunnel is unbelievable and unobtainable.

  3. Description: This photo exemplifies the theme of surrealism by intertwining everyday images with imagination and a twist on reality. While everything in this picture may exist in real life, you would never see a shark soaring in the air. Moreover, the shadow cast over the shark conveys that he is floating beneath the tunnel and approaching the figure in the yellow jacket. I also like how the sea creature is smiling in the dark, almost giving him an even more sinister appearance. In the background, the mellow greens and bright pavement create a calm atmosphere, which the shark then disturbs by lurking in the shadows.

  5. DESCRIPTION: This paint has so many things to say despite the fact that as viewers we know that it is a fantastic idea that we are looking at. I was able to see the inside and outside perspective of the paint: inside meaning that a woman as a whole is beautiful but also has to maintain certain character to be strong enough in society. On the other hand, the outside perspective depicts organization, physical beauty but also that matched the wonderful colors from the sky. The lighting of various pink tones combine with the blue and a little of yellow and brown created a soft and delicate feeling.

  3. I find that the contrast between the light and dark, very realistic lighting, and the unrealistic stairs leading to the sky give an element of surreal. I’ve seen this lighting in the sky before after a day storm and I’ve never thought that there could be more behind the clouds, but this picture gives the illusion that there is more life behind the light, like there is something we’re missing and we can only take the stairs to find out. With the lighting and subject working together, there is an element of realism, but there’s also an element of fantasy and the way the lighting offers a spotlight in a way allows the two opposites to come together in a profound way.
