4/25, 5:00pm, outside of Bits and Bytes
Objective description: The sun is still shining brightly, but it is slowly getting lower in the sky. The light is a bit warmer and dimmer, but it still creates a lot of soft shadows through the trees and greenery.
Subjective description: The afternoon sun looks and feels warm and comforting, and it emphasizes the blue sky and green trees. It makes me want to lay outside and bask in the sunlight.
please note that I had trouble moving the photos around on this website! they are not directly next to their matches!
4/23/2024 – 6:35 pm – Inside black box theatre
Objective: The dark theatre is completely dark until a single light source is provided by the ghost light.
Subjective: In the black box theatre, the surroundings itself is a black hole. Everything inside the room is black, with no natural light source available to squeeze its way through the dark room. The ghost light, protects the theatre with its single source, providing a little light to all. This small light brings the newcomers into the space with ease and less tension when provided.
Fall- Although I loved the traditional golden hour for this staging, I wanted to incorporate some blues for depth and overall aesthetics. I loved how, in the original photo, you can see the hazy sky, so I tried to incorporate it using the cyc in the background.
Spring- This was my favorite season because I loved choosing the colors for the individual windows, and using gobos in the design was also really fun. It was also the most straightforward in terms of light direction and fullness.
Summer- I actually couldn’t find a picture of Africa in the summer time, so I went with the coolest picture I could fid. I really loved making this one with all of the fun shadows and different gels of warm yellows and oranges.
Winter- This is one is probably the prettiest one that I made. I really tried ot incorporate the pinkish sunset in the background. Mkaing all of the different pink, purpke, blue, and white gels in the back blend together was also really fun.
4/19, 10:00pm, Crumbl Cookies
Objective description: The room is very bright with the bright white paint and tiles combined with bright white LED lights. The lighting coming off of the order screens is another light adding to the already bright lights in the store.
Subjective description: The lights are reflecting so strongly off of the tile that my eyes hurt; the amount of white in the store is almost giving me a headache. This annoyance from the lighting is adding to the pressure of not knowing what I want to order. However, the fully white walls and light makes the store look very new and clean, so I trust the cookies I’m about to get are going to be delicious.
4/23/24 – Outside of Breslin Hall – 9:50 PM
Objective: The full moon is shining brightly down from the sky, but it looks slightly fuzzy due to the clouds, and its moon rays are dispersed.
Subjective: The moon is very bright tonight, and on a clear day, it would be a perfect photograph. Yet, the moist air and the misty clouds in the sky cause its appearance to spread. The moon, usually so detailed, is just another white light in the sky.
9:34pm, sidewalk to c-square.
White Light from the lampost shines through tree branches
—
After a long tiresome day, the walk back to home is a journey within itself. And yet, it also shines as brightly as the day with white light streaming down onto the pavement, scrambles of harsh light shining between the trees leaves creating constellation-like spots of stars below my feet. The white light radiates out from behind the tree, the shadows and highlights of the branches develop halos circling the lamplight bright beam. Like a false moon to light the path among the stars.
12:35am, inside Adams Playhouse lobby.
Dark lobby with lamposts outside casting dim white light. Silhouettes of the door panels are cast on the walls.
—
A tranquil space of comfortable solitude in the late shadows of the night. Against the cold tiles, I sat and watched the long beams of dim light cascade along the floors and up the walls illuminating the glass pane structures of the window. Within the lobby’s silence and darkness, there seems like nothing but time in the slumbering theatre.
This photo is taken by Nate Smith from google. I chose this because the lighting seemed surreal, almost like a UFO was landing.
4/16/2024 – 1:20 pm – Outside of Emily Lowe
Objective: The bright sunlight beaming across the lawn shines onto the relaxing students of Hofstra.
Subjective: In the warm, glowing heat of the sunlight provides a white and yellow-ish tint onto the students spread out across the lawn. This light makes the scenery feel light and happy compared to the recent cold and miserable rainy days.
