Photo Observation #3

2.) Inside of Paul’s Casablanca in NYC

3.) Night Life

4.) Red is the most prominent color in this photo, creating a celebratory and passionate mood. The red and orange light in the foreground, combined with the blue and purple light in the background creates a contrast of colors that is often associated with night life. The boldness of the colors, and the fact that they are on opposite sides of the color wheel, make the room feel dynamic and active. The people in the image are backlit, making it difficult to see anything other than their silhouettes. This makes the lighting the most prominent part of the image, and the darkness within the crowd creates an obscurity and ambiguity that is often romanticized in night life. It also makes the disco ball the main focus of the image. The light that bounces off of the disco ball creates an intricate design on the ceiling that is fascinating and makes the photo much more intriguing to look at.
