6th Lighting Observation – Mia Gozinsky

  1. March 12th, 2026 – 5:21 Pm – Emily Lowe Drounge
  2. Another gloomy day on campus with the rain/snow coming down, putting a silence over the drounge with some kind of drousyness (which hit me as well), but the light from the lamp on the desk was very comforting and relaxing in the moment and made the room feel less cold then it did outside.
  3. The mood lighting was the small lamp on the table that made the room feel comfortable to be in and it made the room feel brighter in a way which was very relaxing to be in.

Photo Observation 5 – Stanley Morgan

1) September 14th, 2024, Salem, MA

2) Theme: Single Source Artificial Light

3) The light hits the sculpture/figure from below, establishing and exemplifying the harsh and unearthly feature’s on the face. This was taken in a monster museum, in which the goal was to make one feel frightened. The lighting was very carefully meant to make the creature look intimidating and unnatural as possible, hence the bottom light.

Photo Observation #5

2)This is a photo that someone took of me on halloween this year on my stoop

3) Single source lighting

4) This photo only lights me over the top of my head and paints me in silhouette. I was dressed as a vampire and I think this photo fits perfectly  on that costume because I am avoiding the light entirely (and also standing outside a door) in a way that makes me look spooky. I love the way that the light reflects off the house to add a lot of light to the image, but that light remains contained to above my head, rather than flooding the whole space and lighting me.

Photo Observation #5

  1. April 23, 2024, 10:51 AM – My high school theater
  2. Theme — Single Source Artificial Light
  3. This is a picture from when we were designing the light for Shrek: The Musical my senior year. We were experimenting using green light to make Fiona look like an ogre instead of using make up for one of the numbers. I like how in this photo you can see some of the green beam of light against the rest of the stage due to how dark it is.

Photo Observation #5

1. December 30th 2024, 11:51pm, my desk in my room

2. Single Source Artificial Light

3. For Chanukah I got one of those DIY book nook house thingies. I built it in one night and I really liked the way the light in it looked on my desk. Within the book there is so much going on and it’s so cluttered and I love it. It makes it feel so real.

Photo Observation #5

1. March 11 – 2:54 am – my dorm
2. Single Source Artificial Light
3. This was a photo I took after I finished my costumes for David’s class. I put all the costumes together to see if they look cohesive. It was late and dark, my roommate was sleeping so I had only a small desk light on, the light slightly spills over the paper.

Photo Observation #5

  1. March 10th, 2026 – 11:55pm – Outside Hofstra Swim Center
  2. Theme – Single Source Artificial Light
  3. This is a photo of the lion statue outside of the swim center. The white light shining through the trees onto the statue is a wall-mounted flood light that shines up the road out of frame. I found it interesting the way the shadows appeared on the lions face due to the back angle of the light.

Photo Observation 5

  1. March 11th, 2026 – 11:21pm – Spiegel Theater
  2. Theme – Single Source Artificial Light
  3. Magnolia took this photograph of me outside of the Spiegel. I was on the ground squatting and she put the phone overtop of my head and took a picture with flash. I thought this was a very intriguing angle that would exemplify the artificial quality of the iphone flashlight, especially from such a harsh and frankly unflattering angle. The brightness of the iphone flashlight feels so fake and painful in a way. This was an interesting use of angles to me.

Photo Observation- Single Source Artificial Light

1) March 11th, 2026 at 7:00 pm- In my dorm

2) Theme- Single Source Artificial Light

3) I was in my dorm watching one of my favorite movies “Get Out” when this scene came on. This is when the main character gets taken into the Sunken Place. I found this particular scene interesting as we start to see the blue light. In this scene, he is trapped in his own body and is sinking deeper and deeper. The single light allows us to feel the coldness and isolation that he is feeling but also reminds us that this is a void.
