  1. Sprite advertisement from Pintrest
  2. Advertisement
  3. This picture shows an advertisement for Sprite which is simple yet effective. The can of soda is presented in the middle of the photo alongside a lemon and three cubes of ice. The goal of this advertisement is to make people buy it, so as a result, it must appeal to the consumers. In order to emphasize the freshness of the product, a single white light was placed in front of the three objects, illuminating their fronts. This emphasizes the water dripping off the ice cubes and the can, indicating that they are ice cold.

my dorm room

the light from my two lamps

In my dorm room, I have two LED lamps that connect to an app on my phone. Being in a room for two, you get used to it but it is a bit lonely, especially since not many of my friends are near, one thing I love doing is controlling the lights and the colour, setting the mood to how I feel while being able to do it without disturbing anyone else. It gives me some comfort whenever I am feeling lonely.

Photo Observation #7

This photo is from a Wingstop commercial that aired sometime in 2018. 

Theme: Advertisement/Desire. 

Wingstop is clear and uncomplicated–people know exactly what they want from this restaurant. For this reason, it shouldn’t be surprising that the presentation of their food follows suit. Under the most simple lighting configuration, Wingstop has never looked better. The bright white, single-source light takes on the likeness of an old-school desk lamp. It doesn’t allow for an airbrushed, flawless look, as this would take away from the perfectly crispy and fried skin of the wings and french fries. The customer has the opportunity to see all the texture that is key to this meal, topped with the icy-cold Sprite waiting there to quench their thirst. The ad’s primitive lighting presents the wings as they are: direct, affordable, and no frills. Sounds like a win for both buyer AND seller to me.

1)March 28th, my bedroom

2) LED lights that I recently hung up

3)I recently hung up LED string lights that I bought off of amazon, recommended to me by a friend. I ordered the wrong length so they only wrap around about half my room around the ceiling. The purple setting was on, the lights are bright, and have a higher intensity than most LED strip lights that I’ve seen. The lights light up the entire room despite only covering half the ceiling rather than the whole ceiling like I originally wanted it to. Although I’m not complaining. For now it does the job.

March 28, 2025, my dorm room.

The light from my laptop screen lighting up my room.

All the lights are turned off, the only source of light coming from my laptop. My screen brightness is down extremely low, so it was too harsh on my eyes. The cool white of the open Word document on my screen makes the posters and postcards on my wall seem flat, their “personality” sucked out of them, making them all seem cold and dead, although all of them are filled with bright warm colors.

1. March 28, 2024. Lowe 110

2. One side of the room is dim and the other is lit with yellow and white lights.

3. The APO headshot masterclass is going on, the area where the photos are being taken is completely illuminated and it’s glowing. The other side is completely dark only lit by the mirror reflecting the light. The lights are so unique and they are often changed to suit the person taking pictures.

Single Source Artificial Light

From a student film I was a part of. This stuck out to me because the pitch was so dark but it was illuminated entirely by just these two lights. They are so powerful you could see them from the student center if you’re high enough.

  1. March 28th, 8:14pm; Dempster Dance Studio in LH Comm
  2.  Only half the room is lit by the overhead lights; the other two main strips of light are turned off.
  3. The evening vibes of a late night dance class are relaxed and calm. Aided by half of the room illuminated the dancers move in a relaxed state. The divide down the middle makes the room more inviting with less harsh fluorescent lights illuminating the space.

  2. The red hallway during Spring Break
  3. I was walking into Emily Lowe Hall during Spring Break so I could work on an assignment for 178. All of the lights were off. While I started to walk upstairs, I noticed a bright red glow coming from the top off the stairs. I looked into the hallway and the 2 exit signs were the only things giving light to the top floor. I felt like a walked into a horror movie. It felt like there would be something waiting for me at the end of the hallway.

1.) March 22, 2025 – 6:53pm – Hofstra Campus

2.) The sunset in the sky after a rainy day. The clouds had cleared partly, so the colors were very bright and reflecting off of the wet ground.

3.) The sun was just beginning to set as I walked back home from a long day of classes. Clouds were still present high in the sky from the rain earlier in the day, but the brilliant colors of the sunset closer to the horizon line shined clearly through them. Electrifying orange blended seamlessly into golden yellow. However, the sunset didn’t seem to end there. The storm from earlier in the day left the pavement wet, creating a reflective surface that the fiery sunset bounced off of. The same dazzling colors seemed to fill the parking lot and surround the cars. These blazing lights ignited a new energy, rejuvenating me after a tiring day, making me ready for all that was still to come.
