Four Seasons

1) Fall Sunset in Vermont:

Oranges and purples represent fall for me completely, the array. As for sunsets, they usually have so many colors in them and I tried to replicate that in my picture and still be true to the fall color-scheme. I chose to add a dark blue on top to show the night approaching. As for my models I wanted them to be shadowy. I added pink into the model lighting to give a warm , romantic feel to it.

2) Spring Sunrise in New England

In this picture, I replicated a sunrise that had pink tones to it. I believe that the lightness and the vibrant colors are very reminiscent of the spring time! Yellows and pinks also remind me of flowers, which is why I think this is a perfect choice for a spring sunrise. For the model lighting I still tried to keep it a little shadowy cause the sun is coming from the bottom while still keeping her vibrantly lit.

3) Noon on a Summer day in Brazil!

Brazil at noon in the summer is light blue! It is always sunny and everything is almost overwhelmingly bright! I chose to lit my model as homogeneously as possible since in Brazil the light comes from everywhere, mostly the light is pretty white but I added some slight yellow tones to bring up some of the Brazilian warmness. The backdrop is the exactly color of the sky at noon time.

4) Winter Afternoon in Alaska

I chose to depict a post-snowstorm day in Alaska, when the sky is bright blue because the storm has passed but there is snow everywhere. I added some purple tones in the backdrop to make the blue cooler. As for the model lighting I added lights with very little color in them, I also did some front floor lights to represent the light that would be reflected from the snow.
