Photo Observation #5

1. March 11 – 2:54 am – my dorm
2. Single Source Artificial Light
3. This was a photo I took after I finished my costumes for David’s class. I put all the costumes together to see if they look cohesive. It was late and dark, my roommate was sleeping so I had only a small desk light on, the light slightly spills over the paper.

Photo Observation #5

  1. March 10th, 2026 – 11:55pm – Outside Hofstra Swim Center
  2. Theme – Single Source Artificial Light
  3. This is a photo of the lion statue outside of the swim center. The white light shining through the trees onto the statue is a wall-mounted flood light that shines up the road out of frame. I found it interesting the way the shadows appeared on the lions face due to the back angle of the light.

Photo Observation #5

  1. March 11th, 2026 – 11:21pm – Spiegel Theater
  2. Theme – Single Source Artificial Light
  3. Magnolia took this photograph of me outside of the Spiegel. I was on the ground squatting and she put the phone overtop of my head and took a picture with flash. I thought this was a very intriguing angle that would exemplify the artificial quality of the iphone flashlight, especially from such a harsh and frankly unflattering angle. The brightness of the iphone flashlight feels so fake and painful in a way. This was an interesting use of angles to me.

Photo Observation- Single Source Artificial Light

1) March 11th, 2026 at 7:00 pm- In my dorm

2) Theme- Single Source Artificial Light

3) I was in my dorm watching one of my favorite movies “Get Out” when this scene came on. This is when the main character gets taken into the Sunken Place. I found this particular scene interesting as we start to see the blue light. In this scene, he is trapped in his own body and is sinking deeper and deeper. The single light allows us to feel the coldness and isolation that he is feeling but also reminds us that this is a void.

5th Photo Theme: Single Source Artificial Light – Mia Gozinsky

  1. November 13th, 2025 – 10:52Pm – Brooklyn, New York
  2. Theme: Single Source Artificial Light
  3. This photo was actually taken by my family friend Gabriela who went to my cousins band Couch’s show (fun fact to my Drama 3 people we were seeing Heathers!) The light looks to be very warm with it making it look like the set list is being split in half with light and dark shadows surrounding it but with the bands name COUCH being the main focus.

6th Lighting Observation – KS

  1. 03/11/2026 – 12:37pm – Hofstra University ResLife Central Office
  2. The light I am talking about is coming from the reflection of the fluorescent lights in the ResLife office on the wooden table/desk in the office area. It is showing a white-colored square-ish area of light on its surface.
  3. The light reflecting off of the brown table feels like a doorway into a brighter space. It shines so bright and light-colored against the dark surface. It gives an almost happy-feeling glow, like there is something special to find within it.

5th Photo Observation – Single source artificial light – KS

  1. 11/03/2023 – 07:27pm – Broad Run High School, Ashburn Virginia
  2. Single source artificial light. Include a Angle Color/Lighting Key diagram as per 3/5 lecture.
  3. This photo is from my High School’s advanced theater class production. This moment was centered around my character and my classmate’s character. We had a singular spotlight pointed at us from the opposite end of the theater. It was shining white light. So, the light was coming from a single source of artificial light. It felt striking and focused.

6th Lighting Observation

  1. March 10th, 2026 – 2:03 pm – Student Center
  2. While tabling in the atrium for Dancing with the Orgs, the sun was shining from behind me. With the tint of the windows and the variety of flags hanging from the truss above me, the sunlight was casting very long streaks of light in different hues onto the floor.
  3. Most of the light shining on the floor was yellow and angled (I’d say around 30-45 degrees), with some shadows of lines from the truss in between streaks. There were a few streaks that were hued in red, orange, and green when they would shine through the flags of that color. It was cool to watch the angle change slightly and the colors shift since I had been sitting at the table for around 2 hours.

5th Photo Observation

  1. May 17, 2023 – 5:43 pm – Amtrak Train
  2. Theme – Single Source Artificial Light
  3. I took this photo during a train ride home to Massachusetts my freshman year. I was reading a book, and the person in front of me had turned on their overhead light. The light was very warm-toned and yellow, and hit the book at a weird angle due to the seats in front of me casting their shadows. I thought it looked very aesthetically pleasing and cozy.

Photo Observation #5

December 26th 2025, 7:42 PM

A piercing spike that my girlfriend left at our friend’s house. I asked a friend to take a picture of it to make a joke and they got a low angle with the camera flash slightly below the piercing. It shines most on the palm of their hand and the spike, creating long shadows behind them and on their fingers.
