2) Attribute the Photo, tell us where it came from.
This is a photo I saw in a Tik Tok about places in your dreams.
3) THEME: Surreal
4) DESCRIPTION:
In my dream I often go no where, run around in circles with no place to go. The light is unnaturally even. No shadows or highlights. Just bright white light from every direction. The white light. A subject of human consideration. Running around, seeking the natural in a world created in my head.
Attributes: This photo was taken from the Meow Wolf’s photo gallery on their website. This is one of their rooms at the Meow Wolf museum
Theme: Surreal
Description: You walk into the first room only seeing a basic house with regular dim lights, keeping your expectations at mellow. But then you walk through a fridge and suddenly walk into a room that makes you feel like you are in the movie avatar. Everything seems alive. You can see the regular structure of an outdoor treehouse, but then there are lit-up moss, plants, and obscure things that feel like they are breathing. The colors and emphasis of the lights create this movement, seeming like the things around you are real and alive. Everything lit and shown puts you in a euphoric experience.
This photo was taken by me in Times Square at 12:37pm on May14th, 2020
Theme: Surreal
This one of the most surreal photos I’ve ever taken as I personally feel it’s an accurate representation of the pandemic shutdown. This picture was taken when me and my brothers went to the city last may to see everything and it was a desolate wasteland. We saw probably less than 20 people around Midtown that day, and we stopped at Times Square and saw that every store had been closed until further notice.
ATTRIBUTES: Photo is of a Banksy art installment posted to Banksy’s Instagram.
3) THEME: Surreal
4) DESCRIPTION: The word “surreal” creates a feeling of dream-like unreality. To me, surreal means extremely bizarre and not logical. I chose this Banksy art piece because of the absurdity going on and the odd, dream-like lighting. The lighting reminds me of the weird, slightly uncomfortable lighting you run into when you are having a strange dream. It reminds me a lot of the mythical “back rooms” that many people have dreams about. The rats represent a surreal fear that many have that is then reflected into their dreams.
1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: 4/21/2021 – 11:30 am – pathway of Breslin Hall
2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The sun just came back out after a rain shower and was reflecting off of the puddles and peering through the dewy leaves of the trees outside of Breslin Hall.
3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The relief felt as I pulled my hoodie down on this chilly, rainy day woke me up as I exited a particularly bland lecture. Excited for a new day as the sunlight reflected off of the puddles on the ground and warmed my skin, I felt refreshed as I walked to my car, saddened that I would have to stay in and work the rest of the day at a desk.

3) THEME: Surreal
4) DESCRIPTION: The lighting through the window is trapped inside the confines of the glass’ shape, rather than dispersing through the room, representing the dream state and being trapped in your mind, no matter what is going on around you. The top half of the room is impossibly lit diagonally from the window, creating a dream-like effect in which only half of the room may wake the model.

3) THEME: Surreal
4) DESCRIPTION: Dark and gloomy clouds overhead with a slight hint of sun beckon the urban explorer. The green shades compliment all of the hues on the pavement.
DATE-TIME-LOCATION: Wednesday April 21st at 11:36 am
OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: My housemate eating breakfast across from me at the table
SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The living room was dark, only the window illuminated the table. Her breakfast burrito was surrounded by the soft white emitted from the cloudy day. I should have made one for myself, the light was calling me.
Fall Sunset in Vermont
Lighting Instruments:
SL boom 36 degree four/ ETC 436 coral amber
SR boom 36 degree four/ ETC 436 coral amber
Cyc/ R15 yellow
Cyc/ R27 Red
6” fresnel
Gobo Leaves full/ R94 kelly green/ 36 degree source four ETC 436
I created a sunset color with a mixture of burnt orange and red while adding an amber tone to the sides to resemble the finally setting. I added dark green leaves at the gobo to add the Vermont texture of nature.
Easter sunrise in a gothic cathedral
Lighting Instruments:
Cycs: R15, R27, R80
FOH 2/ 26 degree source four/ ETC 426/ Color R47
Side: SL 36 degree source four/ ETC 436/ Gobo Budding Branches
For this picture, purple and yellow are the two main colors that pop in my head as easter. I wanted a pastel yellow to show the innocence of the morning with the juxtaposition of the medium light purple that fits with the gothic cathedral texture gobo.
Noon on a hot summer day at the Caribbean
Lighting Instruments:
Cyc: R126,R27,R80,R15
6” Fresnel/ color R14- medium straw
36 degree source four ETC 436/ SL/ gobo Wild palms
SR par 64mfl/ GE FFR
36 degree source four ETC 436/ SL/ gobo foliage jungle
I used tints of green for the yellow base of lights. I kept thinking of the jungle or green leaves for the Caribbean with a light summer flow from the yellow sun. The model is leaping, because they are happy with leaping around in the sand. I also added a straw like color for the floor to give off the impression of a sand color.
Winter afternoon just before the snow
Lighting Instruments:
cyc R80
FOH 1 and 2 SR and SL 26 degree source four/ ETC 426 /Zephyr blue R84
6” Fresnel/ color G845 Cobalt
SR side light 36 degree source four / ETC 436/ Gobo snowflake six
I wanted to keep this simple with a blue monochrome idea. I imagine before a snowstorm or just for the snow falling, the atmosphere to be a dark blue. There are different angles of blue and values of blue in this lab, and it is supposed to arise the idea of a cold front.
