Objective description: I bought a cheap $15 sunset lamp for my dorm. It created a cozy sunset feel in our room. Its circular, the rim of the light is yellow that blends into a pink moving inwards the circle.
subjective description: I’m hanging out with my roommates late at night, we’re chatting while doing work and having deep conversations. The lamp being the only thing illuminating the room creates a very intimate and cozy feel.
1. June 20th 2025, 9:34pm, roof balcony in Philly
2. Night Life
3. I was visiting my grandparents at their apartment in Philadelphia and we decided to go up to the rooftop balcony of their building. I was feeling inspired so I took some pictures. I think this one perfectly portrays the theme “night life.” The darkness of the night is all around, but the city lights are shining. Even as the buildings get smaller towards the horizon, the lights do not dim. The city is alive.

2) Theme- Night Life
3) I had took this picture after the major snowstorm that we had before the break. As I was walking outside, the excess of snow mixed in with night light gave a winter wonderland type vibe to me. The large lamp that sat to the side allowed the roadway to light up and “open” up a pathway for me to walk through. I feel that when you think of night life, you think about the people that surround it, but it is also important to capture the empty moments. During these empty moments, you wonder what people are doing on their own time that we cannot see on camera.
1) The Metropolitan Opera – October 2nd, 2025
2) Theme: Night Life
3) I took this photo during Drama 003 last semester on our trip to The Metropolitan Opera, in which was one of the first times I felt I had emerged into the world of Night Life, especially in New York City. What drew me to this photo specifically was the slightly yellow light mixing with the water to create a beautiful spectrum of value and contrast. In the background, the two buildings themselves have contrasting tones of light, with one shining warm, and one shining cool. Personally, I believe this emphasizes the fountain in the center, as both of those light bring your attention to the middle of the photo with the composition of the buildings itself.
1) 12/28/25 – Seattle Art Museum
2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: Sunlight pours through two frosted and patterned windows onto the wood flooring of an all wood room. The pattern on the window is consistent circles. As the light travels through the window and onto the floor it creates a unique, repeating, pattern on the floor. The only other light in the room is from the display case of plates and other decorated tableware.
3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The stretched circles created on the floor by the window caught my eye as it reminds me of the light created by stained glass windows, minus the color. It also reminds me of light as it passes through trees. The lighting is soft and diffused, the circles are stretched due to where the sun is shining into the room. It feels warm and homey, and also somewhat lonely.
1) 2/9/26 – sometime at night
2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: Red taillight lights up a lion statue, very little surrounding light meaning the taillight casts stark shadows across the lion statue’s face.
3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The red lighting and shadows makes the lion look scary. The shadows and single source exaggerate the sharp cuts of the stone. It feels ominous and reminds me of that scene in Star Wars; Revenge of the Sith where Anakin is about to kill all the younglings and his lightsaber is casting similar light (though, that was blue light but still)
