I chose this for the dramatic style of lighting. I was not sure whether the warm, soft front light was present or not but I think something was present to fill out the shadows and give the whole thing a soft light. The front light being opposite the back light makes it feel very composed and pristine. Additionally, the warm light makes the chicken, bun, and tonmato really pop.

Objective: Two phone screens light up the small surroundings of the phone owner’s faces in a dark room.
Subjective: Since the weather is completely dark and stormy, the outside surroundings are gloomier than on a clear night. Plus, with no headlights turned on, the bedroom is darker than usual. The soft orange glow from the cellphones of the people in the room directs more attention to the light source. The color of the phone screen is easier to adjust to the eye since the phone’s brightness is set for nighttime.

This advertisement represents McDonald’s, as the plug insert is portrayed as a french fry container for the company. However, what is the most interesting is the lighting representation for the french fries. The light source that is provided by the wall plug has the angle of the light shown shooting upwards, along with a gobo effect to show french fry shapes. This shows a creative way to show off the company’s food items without using the actual food sources.

This is an advertisement for Magnum Ice Cream bars, and it definitely makes me want to try one. Not only do we have the cross-section of the bar with gooey caramel, but the lighting that is used highlights the right side and puts the left in shadow. This enhances the 3-dimensionality of the ice cream, and the realism somehow makes it more desirable. I also think the warm brown background creates a comforting environment as well.
Location: IM Fields 9:30 PM, Thursday
Objective: It is dark outside and the sun has completely set for the night. There are large white bright lights lighting up the front of the field, but if you look further out in the field, it is completely dark. The light highlights the mist blowing in the air from the grass.
Subjective: There is an intense contrast between the lit up parts of the field as opposed to the dark field on the other side. The artificial lighting is intense, and it has a “game day” feel. The lighting is focused on one part of the field, making it seem important.
3/28/2023 – 10:23 pm – Enterprise Hall
Objective: The lights in the window reflect the nightlife at Hofstra campus.
Subjective: The above light is off in the bedroom, and only the nightlife lights from the outside window shed some light. Given how the storm is brewing outside, only the very soft glow of the street lamps and lights in the neighboring towers shine through the window.
3/28, 10:30 pm, my living room
Objective description: The overhead lights are off, and the side lamp casts a soft yellow light on the room. The candle on the table is lit and flickers back and forth. There are string lights along the wall above the TV, and they are set to the color pink.
Subjective description: The living room feels extra cozy with the overhead light off and lots of small side lights. The candle and pink string lights bring a warm energy to the room, and I feel a little sleepy with all of the lights being so dim.

Theme: Single source of artificial light
This photo was taken in the dark, illuminating the person’s appearance slightly, showing their profile. The white light is behind the person outlining the facial features, giving a divine, etherial look.
A Strong use of practical lighting which still creates a dynamic scene

Description: This pictures shows a metal ballerina statue under a cool white spotlight. The artificial top light helps emphasize the angles and lines of the ballerina’s figure, and it creates a stark contrast between the light and the statue. Since there is only one light source, the photo is somewhat two-dimensional.
