Theme: Single Source Light

Description: I keep getting stand up comedy videos recommended to me, so for a single source theme I figured I would use an actor on stage with a single spotlight creating frontlight with no horizontal angle.

Photo taken by me on August 1st, 2019.

Theme: single source artificial light

The man in this picture was my supervisor at the summer camp where I worked, Tel Yehudah, for the summer of 2019. His name is Teague. We were on a “shmira” shift, which meant we were part of the group responsible that night for making sure campers stayed in their bunks past lights out. Part of the shmira equipment was this huge flashlight that we were supposed to use to spot and identify campers. On this particular night, for whatever reason, we had balloons. Teague pressed the industrial flashlight against the balloon and it glowed this cool neon green as seen above. I love this picture so much. The color and glow created by the flashlight combined with the balloon is so slimy and unusual and it reminds me of how much fun it was to work with Teague.

December 8th 2019- picture taken by Rene Micheo in Cincinnati, Ohio

Theme: Single Source of Light

This is a photo from my senior year where I was performing in the Nutcracker at my high-school. This photo comes from the final moment in our show where the Cavalier and Sugar Plum Fairy pose together and a single white spotlight above them is the only thing on.

When I think about a single light on in a room, I think back to when I would stay up late with a desk light on while I read. Because the lamp is the only source in the room, the dark ominous background contrasts with the bright white light on the subject. The angle of the light also creates shadows across the subject, so as to barely light her, and have the full intensity of light on the pages of the book.

A Thoughtful Moment 228/365: Single Light Source Portrait

This photo is from a photo shoot that only had one light source and I picked it because I felt I could easily identify which side of his face was light and how steep the angle of the light was.

Photo Observation

Theme: Bizarre

Description: Bizarre means unusual and out of the ordinary, and I think this image of a perfume bottle does a good job of expressing that. The colors in this photo are very vibrant and are complimentary colors(cyan and red). Complimentary colors such as these create an interesting image but also creates discomfort. Also the shapes created in the background remind me of the use of gobos. The use of gobos can create shapes that are not shapes you can see normally in everyday life.

Theme: Bizarre

I chose this photo since typically the moon does not appeal blue, especially from my house in Maryland. The lighting makes it feel like a real life scene taken from a fiction movie. it makes me feel as if people are about to go to battle, but the spirit of the lake is about to appear out of a misty pond.

Description: I love the energy of this picture. It’s me from four years ago, on a field trip of sorts to the Museum of Illusions, and in this room, the lights were set up in the back to cast three different and differently-colored shadows when you stood in front of them. It’s so weird and so cool – one of those things that looks completely unexplainable until it’s explained, and after that it makes total sense. As a bonus, this is also a neat example of additive color mixing (for example you can see where the cyan and amber lights overlap to make green). Anyway, everyone should do a Superwoman pose in front of illusory lighting.

Description: there’s a really bright light in the center, but the image still manages to look and feel dark. There are also people, but you cannot see them.
