Photo Observation #5

2) Found the image from Pinterest. The photographer is Julia Hetta, a Dutch photographer who is a graduate Gerrit Rietveldt Art Academy in Amsterdam. http://artfucksme.com/julia-hetta/

3) THEME: Single Light Source

4) DESCRIPTION: It took me some time to find a decent photo that only had one light source. First I had picked a different photo by the same photographer, however I was worried there was actually another light source involved. I liked this photo not only because it meets the requirements of being one light source, but it has a nice soft feeling to it. This feeling comes from the color scheme of the photo and also how the light hits the model’s face.

Lighting Observation #5

When and Where: February 28, 2018 4:00pm / Student Center (Cafeteria Side)

Objective Description: The windows above and touching the ceiling of the cafeteria let in the suns rays down into the room. One half of the room was bathed in light while the other is covered in a contrasting shade.

Subjective Description: The lighting flooding the room was bright and orange. Everything down to the dust particles could be seen in it and stepping into it was blinding. Meanwhile, the rest of the cafeteria was shrouded in a blue hue. Slowly as time passed, the sun began to set and the light traveled slowly up the walls of the room until it disappeared.

Source: Pinterest

Theme: Single Light Source

Description: This is the iconic album cover for Queen II. The white light source seems to be above the band members and creates an almost baleful feeling. Due to the shadows cast over the men, we can’t see their bodies or eyes, just the outline. The diamond formation also adds to the “Easter Island Head” motif.

1) 2/25/18- 7:24pm- Interstate 24 on the Jones Beach exit

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: Setting in a car during some traffic, a street light on the right side of the car flickered randomly. The light was off more often than it was on. It was also the only light around except for our car’s head lights. The color of the street light was the typical warm, amber color of street lights.

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: This lighting moment was entirely creepy. It looked like something in a horror film. In this case, it felt like in the movies when the character’s flashlight would start to die while running around the haunted forest. Every time the street light would flicker on, I was worried some terrifying demon creature would pop up. This came across because of the lack of light that played into the fear of darkness feeling; Also, the timing in which the light would flicker was so abnormal, it created an unsettling sensation.

  3. The lighting in this photo is interesting to me because of the variation in shades.  With the mystery of the shadow and intrigue of the light, the model looks as though she’s longing for something. I think the fact that there is the key light heightens the drama and enhances the mystery and the emotional impact of the model.

2/19 8:30 pm- Anaheim, Ca
The sun is setting behind clouds and houses. The sky is still bright and houses are beginning to get dark.
The sun setting gives off a somewhat ethereal feeling, the sun behind the clouds makes them pop out.  The bright white clouds, surrounded by the warm light over the houses and near the mountains gave off a look that looked a lot like a beautiful sunset photo, not something in real life, but it was real.

Lighting Observation #5

1. Date: March 1, 2018

Time: 6:30 pm

Location: Behind the Netherlands dorms

2. There is a yellowish orange light behind the freshman dorms in the Netherlands, that illuminates the otherwise stark backyard of the forms.

3. The lights shone behind the dorms make me feel as if I shouldn’t go back there at night.It causes a cautious yet gloomy feeling. There could have chosen brighter, white lights to allow for more visibility, but the lighting seems to be a warning against venturing around there.

4. The white light that is just out of the frame of this photo creates interesting shadows on the face of the model. The shadows cast on the model in this photo cause him to have a sinister yet sad feel to him. It makes the person looking at the photo think that he may be either up to something or he is a survivor of something traumatic.

2. Limerick, Ireland in winter

3. Theme: Single Source

4. It’s interesting how in the middle of the night with the proper base color the smallest light became a huge bloom of illumination. The way the snow was in the nighttime allowed to pick up bright lights very well. So the small camera flash on the phone allowed for a huge bloom of stark white. This is also kind of relaxing to see however, as it feels as if the light gives the ability for play even at night. This is nostalgic for all my late nights playing sports by led rather than daylight, so it gives off the same feel here.

1 Hofstra Unispan looking to the East. February 28th at around 3pm.

2. Walking across the Unispan I just randomly looked to the east and stopped dead in my tracks. One of the buildings made of glass to the south of the turnpike was half in the color of the glass and the other was in a radiant gold or amber, making it look as if the building was made of gold.

3. The image actually stopped me in my tracks by how shockingly nice it looked. The way the blue of the glass was suddenly contrasted by how it turned entirely golden amber. The hue made me feel as if suddenly warmed and made happy by this building that was hundreds of meters away. It’s interesting how this warm golden color made this warm feel when it was put next to the chill blue of the glass.
