Drama 16 Stage Lighting

This photo was taken from my window after the light snowstorm over the break. The gray clouds mixed with the newly white snow make the scene feel cold.

This was a photo I took during the snow day on Saturday. I really liked the look veiwing up under the flowers wuth the snow on top. The color contrast between the white and the yellow really made the colors pop

For this assignment, I took notes from the natural world. The early morning is the coldest time for anyone who has spent time outdoors. In this image, cold is exemplified by the constriction of color and detail. Just as your hands go numb, the image is faded and holds some vagueness. The mist hides everything past the subject and catches its color before most of it can reach the viewers eye. The subject and its isolated nature also adds to the theme, as it is always so much colder when theres no warm home nearby.

The photo is of a sunset at the beach, describing that days end so others can begin.

The lighting is somewhere in the middle to create the space to see the colors when the sun sets to see the simplicity of it all.

This is a photo I took 2 years ago in January on the ride from Staten Island to Long Island. The lighting is overall blue, which creates a feeling of being cold. Also, the silhouette of the tree without any leaves against the blue lighting really signifies the fact that it is winter. The clouds are a bit darker, and in all, you can feel the coldness from the picture.

This picture was taken at sunset outside of C-Square a couple of days after our snow day. I really like the way the blue/ purple of the sky darken the silhouette of the bare trees, and how it makes the towers look much darker than they really are. The dark clouds looming in the corner also help to add to the mood of the photo.

Picture taken by me

I took this picture while skiing at Mount Sunapee in New Hampshire. It is very obviously cold in this picture; my family went in the middle of January, and there was actually fresh snow on the ground, not just from the snow blowers. In particular, it was super fogged over and snowy that day, so the lighting was dark, which made the picture look even colder. Especially with the snow, fog, and the dark green trees, there are no warm tones at all, and I cand remember how cold this day was from looking at this picture.

Photo taken by me

This photo was taken on the island Inisheer, one of the Aran Islands located off the coast of Ireland. This was actually the first day of true Irish weather while I was there, so it was chilly and windy. I think this photo represents cold lighting well because the sky and the ocean have the same gray-ish blue color, and there’s no sun visible. The ocean doesn’t look very welcoming, but rather cold and choppy.

The way the lights are draped from the tree creates beautiful natural variation causing the lights to have a kind of starry effect. I think the color of the lights is also nice and perfect for romance. They have a bright yellowy glow and with the dark of night all around they feel soft and pretty. They are a lovely combo of spectacle, beauty, and simplicity perfect for a summer night date.

While there are no actual people in this photo, from the lighting alone you can tell that this dinner is a romantic occasion. The dim lighting and red sign lights are classic lighting choices used in romantic settings. The red color represents the feeling of love and romance, and the dim lighting shut outs the background of an environment and focuses just on the scene in the light. This makes romantic pictures and settings feel much more intimate.
