romance photo
This was taken on January 14th on 9th Avenue in Manhattan. While there isn’t necessarily a couple shown in the photo, there is something very romantic about creating a more intimate setting in a bigger, more hectic one. The string of white lights create an intimate and romantic feel that makes this part of Manhattan seem like a quieter and special place. The way the lights hang from the trees create movement with light, and make it feel romantic.

I paid attention to your request that the subject is not inherentlty romantic, but that the lighting is. I thought back to moments in which I felt that the atmosphere was inherently romantic, and recalled the few times that I’ve been able to look out over a city. This feeling of separation from the environment is compounded by the ambient glow of the space. The slight mist creates a dome over the lights and scatters them in all angles. It brings a colective-ness which is not often felt in tbe modern age. Its not straight forward, but it does feel romantic.

The soft light from the sun brightens up the brick wall, contrasting the dark shadows as our focus subject. In their actions, the shadows show a little intimate connection between each other. This captures a perfect moment of love and innocence for the viewer, even though we only have small details what the two lovers look like.

An intimate moment emphasized by the darker surrounding building contrasting the warm lighting of the space. The soft silhouettes of the couple within the cozy space adds a feeling of comfort to the glimpse of the candid sliver of life. The distance of the veiwer from the space makes it feels like we’re seeing a moment of private life while separating the veiwer from interrupting their moment.

This photo shows a romantic dinner setting, complete with candles, fairy lights, and flowers, all next to a window with a scenic view. I find this lighting romantic because the sun is setting, giving the sky many soft colors. There is no harsh overhead lighting, rather the indoor setting is lit by the warm candles and fairy lights. The shadows the light casts on the material of the table cloth and chairs also make the scene very cozy and welcoming.
I took this photo after a fun day at the beach!
I didn’t have any sunset pictures on my phone, so I found this one online. I really like a sunset over the water. The way the light reflects off of the water creates a cool moving texture. I also like the way the light hits the bottom of the clouds at the top of the image. You can just see the outline of the top of the cloud a bit highlighted as well which looks pretty cool.
A final glimpse of the sunset with the crescent moon already in the sky. The light colors of the blue & orange gradient contrast the dark tones of the tree branches and 
emphasize the bright shine of the white moon and lamp-post glare
This is a photo that I took last February 24 at 6:04PM. The sunset matches the colors of the lights on the building perfectly, and it really makes the tower seem tall. It feels like the building is growing out of the sunset, which makes it hold power and focus. The sunset also draws more attention to the crescent moon up in the sky. I chose this photo not just for the sunset itself, but because it highlights the other parts of the setting.
I took this picture last semester when I went home for Thanksgiving break. This picture was taken towards the end of the sunset, and I love how it has a more neutral color scheme than the classic purple and pink sunset. The way the orange-to-grey gradient reflects on the water as well is really pretty. The contrast of the shadowy plane and docks also gives a nice contrast to the picture against the lighter orange and grey.
