- A Fall sunset in New England — I aimed to capture the richness of an autumn New England sunset by displaying an array of yellows to reds while highlighting the fact that it’s still New England, hence the grayer, blue-toned cyc lights. It’s as if the people on stage are experiencing the vibrancy of a setting sun while retaining the more depressing/grim usual weather of this location.

- Spring sunrise in a gothic cathedral — Ideally I would have cathedral window gobos framing the deep straw spotlights on either side of the people. Otherwise I wanted to reflect the sometimes beautiful/sometimes gloomy feel of a gothic cathedral through pale lavender/lilac, whose color isn’t quite as cheery as it could be in other contexts.

- Noon on a hot Summer day in the Caribbean — This is a more stylized lighting attempt, which was meant to convey the beauty of the Caribbean through color. I chose bold variations of purple, pink and yellow to represent the heat of summer, offset by blue cyc lights that may allude to the ocean.

- Winter afternoon in Canada — Canada during the winter is best represented by various washed out blues and creams, as if to stir the idea of ice and snow. Although winter so far north of the equator usually yields intense darkness, I kept the afternoon in mind by making sure the gels were ice reflecting in the day’s sunlight.
