OBSERVATIONS: I loved how it showed purple on the leaf when the actual color is green. It kind of plays with the idea of two whole new worlds in one object. I loved it because it has a meaning that is translated to through the light.

Description: My self-given theme was horror as I find lighting related to horror so interesting but I didn’t want the classic black and white so I found this image. I really like how there is color but the photo still is kind of scary. I think its really cool how there are the three different colors shining in but there is very little spillage between the colors, they are all in their distinctive sections. I also think the angle and texture of each lighting block is really interesting as the streakiness and elongated angles add a horrific element to the photo. Finally, I like how the angle elongated the shadow of the man because it twists it into something even more terrifying.

4) DESCRIPTION: This is an image of the Gaffney Peach, also known as the Giant Butt, in Gaffney, SC. I chose this image because I think the lighting and the shadows make it look and feel very intimidating. Its curves are hugged by the shadows, letting the Peach embrace and enhance that daunting feeling. In the image, it stands quite tall, making the trees appear small and insignificant in the background. The light also doesn’t really touch the trees quite as much, making them seem less important. Overall, the lighting and composition of the image exude power and create intimidating feelings for the viewer.

Description: I really love this photo because I think the way the mirrors mess with the lights is really cool. There’s not much visible effect from the light, but the way that the black of the background fades into the warm yellowish color of the light as it gets deeper is really interesting. The simplicity of the color scheme is also really appealing, too, because it makes the image look darker than I think it would if there were lots of colorful lights. I also really like how you can only tell there are people because of the absence of light in some places.

DESCRIPTION: With my final dance performance coming up this week, I have started to notice all the interesting choices for lighting made by this season’s choreographers. This photo captures the essence of one of the pieces, choreographed by Yoshito. The lack of color in correspondence to the sharp angular light provides a dramatic intensity to the atmosphere. Moreover, I feel as though the rectangular format is similar to that of focusing a lens or zooming in on a picture. While the small frames of light create interesting shapes on the floor, they also focus the audience’s gaze on the dancers’ movement and fade out all the in-between spaces.

DESCRIPTION: I chose this picture because I thought it uses warm and cool colors in a very interesting way. The magenta light coming from the lamp and the deep blue light coming from the sign create a very calming atmosphere that I think is very cool. The dim lighting in the room also contrasts with the bright light coming from the neon sign, which gives the sign a almost glowing affect around it, which I also thought was very interesting.

Objective Description: The purple fairy lights wrapped around the room and the warmth of a single lamp
Subjective Description: The purple fairy lights wrap around the corner of the room. They don’t provide much light given the other light source in the room, but they do give the space a bit of life and liveliness that would otherwise be absent. The fairy lights are changing and flickering, turning on and off every few seconds. The purple, combined with the warmth of the single lamp in the corner, give the room a warm, inviting, and lively feeling, drawing the inhabitants closer and giving a sense of connection
