Photo Observation #10

Fall (photo emailed bc it won’t upload)

Light 5 @full, top light

Light 7 @full, L151, front light from house left

Light 8 @full, front light from house right

Light 3 & 6 @full, L328, bottom side lights from left and right

Light 1 & 2 @full, R369, top side lights from left and right

Top and Bottom cyc lights @full, alternating R15 and L328 every two lights

I tried to use the cyc lights to create sunset like colors in the background. I also used side light to add sunset and warm colors to the side of the person to show the time of day and also help with the season. I feel like fall is warm colors, so I used mostly those.

Spring

Light 9 @full, R055, window gobo, front light from far house right

Lights 5 @60, R365, top light

Lights 8 @60, R365, front light from house right

Light 7, @70, R364, front light from house left

Top cyc lights, @50, R065 

To me, the most important part of this image was conveying the cathedral. I chose to show this by putting a window gobo in one of the lights. I also only used a few lights to try and make it dimmer since it is supposed to be kind of gothic. I was unsure of exactly how to make it feel like spring, especially since it was inside, but I tried to make it a little cooler, without being too cool because spring feels not as warm as summer and fall in my opinion.

Summer

Light 3&4 @full, top light from left and right

Light 5 @full, R365, top light

Light 6 @full, back light

Light 7 @90, L151, front light from house left

Light 8 @full, R54, front light from house right

Light 10 @full, front light

Top and Bottom cyc lights @ 70, R065

I tried to make the lights as bright and full as possible for summer. I also tried to get more straight overhead light since it was noon, and I added more back and side lights to really fill out the person. I made the light a lot warmer to convey the heat of summer.

Winter

Light 5 @70, R65, breakup gobo, top light

Light 7 @70, R64, front light from house left

Light 8 @70, R371, front light from house right

Light 9 @full, R365, front light from far house right

Conversely, I made the lights in this photo a lot cooler. I made the warmest light coming from the far right so that it would look like the sun was lower in the sky to show that it was the afternoon. I also added a gobo to provide texture that gives a snow-like effect.
