Theme: ROMANCE
Description: Nothing says the perfect valentines day than some calm mood lighting and a bottle of wine (if you’re of age). The picture is obviously edited a bit, but most of it is real. The projector is reflecting heart shaped light onto the wall. The candles are lit making the glass and the bottle glisten. I’d personally want to be put directly into this moment, I think I’d enjoy it.
1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: Wednesday, February 13th, around 10:30AM in the costume shop
2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The sequential “on” flicker of the florescent lights in the costume shop.
3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: Chris and I were the first ones coming into the shop on Wednesday morning so we started getting everything ready for the day. As we made our way into the shop I flipped up the three switches on the wall next to the door. Immediately after, we were met with the white glow of the florescent lights that are mounted to the ceiling; all flickering on one by one like a line of marching soldiers. While the lighting itself was not exactly beautiful, I couldn’t help but think about all of the little electricity moments that happened when I flipped the switches.

3) THEME: Romantic/Romance
4) DESCRIPTION: This photo was proof to me that you could draw the feeling of romance from lighting in broad day light rather than a darker, moodier example of lighting. The natural light coming from the sun is joyful and the concentrated glow from the string lights is intimate and distinct. Both sources work together to create this beautifully simple composition that feels like a cozy day at home with someone you love.
1) Thursday, February 14th, around 9:30 PM, South Campus
2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: An orangey streetlight shining against a mostly-bare tree, which cast a long shadow on a wet sidewalk
3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: After a long day of classes, I was walking home when this streetlight caught my eye. What I found particularly astounding, personally, was the orange quality of this one when most of the others before had been an almost fluorescent white. The way the lights elongated the shadows of the gangly branches, with only a few desperate leaves still clinging to it, was eerily beautiful. The scene itself was, admittedly, a very stunning one, yet the image it created was one that might fill someone with dread on a nightly walk home.
This image was taken by my friend Chloe on Christmas at her grandmother’s house in Vancouver.
THEME: Romance
DESCRIPTION: Now, the image of a chicken defrosting by a fireplace might not scream romance to you, but the lighting manages to create a tender scene. The light from the fire casts a nice glow and warm shadows onto the chicken itself as it sits on the black, marble fireplace. Should the subject be a human body rather than a frozen chicken, the scene would be portrayed as tender and intimate, largely due to the way the moment itself is lit.
Time/Place: Pel’s Pie Co, Brooklyn, Summer
Theme: Romantic/Romance
Description: The elements in this photograph have a cohesive harmony to them. The shadows and highlights aren’t in stark contrast but rather roll off into each other in a very peaceful way. Everything in the photo seems like it has it’s place. The colors are pleasant, the composition is soothing, it feels inviting. Even a mundane object like the laptop becomes a glowing pink mirror because of the reflection. When your eyes fall on the subject of the photo we quietly admire how well she fits into her environment. Together they radiate peace, warmth and romance.
1) DATE/TIME/LOCATION: 2/13/2020, 11:45pm, Walking past the desks on the ground floor of the library.
2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The florescent lights in the ceiling casted a shade of yellow against the wooden desks. The chairs, with a dark black plastic rim, contrasted the colors. The lights were dimly lit against the carpet underneath it as well.
3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The florescent lights were lit in an eerie, depressing setting against the wooden desks. The area looked bleak, the colors did not blend well, and looks difficult to concentrate underneath those lights. I felt this was a negative lighting moment for me because I wanted to change a lot of things about the way the lights casted for this study space. It looked very negative.
Time/Place: Wynwood Walls, October 26, 2019, 9:24pm
Theme: Romantic/Romance
Description: I took this picture while walking through the Wynwood Walls gallery. The lighting throughout the pathway was just like this, dark and shadowy. I felt this exhibited a romantic ambiance with the silhouettes casted against the bright paintings. The location gave me an intimate feeling and the darkness of the night eluded to that. The concentration of the spotlights also gives this feeling of admiration for me, shining light on the artwork. This is what romance looks like for me through light.
1) DATE/TIME/LOCATION: Wednesday, Febuary 12th 2020, 7:45 am, Hague Hall
2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: Looking outside my window at Vander Poel tower as the sun rises and the sky is dark
3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: As usual, my annoying alarm plays as I shoot awake and try to turn it off as quick as possible. I open my blinds to let in some light and see Vander poel. It is centered perfectly in the middle of my window and is turned to the right, like a giant conrete pillar. The front of this dormitorial obelisk is orange with sunlight, while the rest is veiled in purple shadow. Finally, the sky is the darkest shade of blue, the only hint of sunlight reflectsa off the the clouds in the distance.
