Theme: Surreal
Description: Migraines plus doing homework in my dorm often make me feel trapped in one place. This image and this lighting makes me feel the same way, trapped in a small room with faint light, coming in through blinds that make lines along the floor.

This is from The Exorcist. I like the use of silhouette, especially when paired with the strong spotlight effect that is visible with the fog. The Overhead lamp also helps to give just enough context to really make it seem like this character is crossing into a new world. The stark contrast between the character silhouette and the glowing beam of light make it stand out. The spotlight also creates a strong line. There is a lot of mystery, involved, as it makes it seem like the very location itself is alive and aware of this outsider’s presence. For my re-creation I also utilized Gobo effects to mimic the lights in the house, which act as a bit of color contrast against an otherwise entirely blue toned scene.
Photo taken by me on Nov. 12th, 2022, at a bus station in Baltimore, 6:15am.
Theme: surreal
Liminal spaces like bus stops during late night/early morning hours are always surreal to me. I was on a very early morning bus home from NY when we made a pit stop in Baltimore. The sun was just starting to rise when I took this picture, and the lone bus in the parking lot feels just slightly wrong. That, combined with the bizarre blue/gold combination of the sky behind it, make the photo altogether feel surreal.

This photo is very surreal for me because it looks a little creepy but calm. A strong light that comes from the back is very catch people’s attention.

This picture captures a vibrant red sunset. I’ve always found bright red sunsets to be so mystifying as a typical sunset consists of softer yellows and oranges. However, this bright red captures the passion and intensity the hue normally makes me think of. Seeing the typical blue sky be slowly enveloped by this punch of red feels truly surreal.

This photo felt surreal to me because this is not naturally occurring light. It reminds me of the burning bush from the bible and it just feels a little magical.

an unusual color combination that doesn’t naturally happen often– if at all
I chose this photo because of the unnatural colors of the light. The red and blue light is not natural light colors that we would naturally see.

Time: Around 6pm
Location: My friend’s room
Objective: My friend had just recently installed these set of led strip lights on the walls of her room. These LED lights had many different settings, as well as a connection to her phone where the lights can blink and change at the rhythm of a song.
Subjective: The bright, vibrant colors produced by the LED strips reminded me of a nightclub or concert venue. Especially when it started switching and flashing to the beats of a song in her phone. The lights really transformed the style of her room, which is normally pretty simple and monotone.

Time: Around 8PM EST
Location: My dorm room
Objective: The lights from the hallway coming into my room from under, and around the door’s small gaps.
Subjective: The light reminds me of science fiction movies, the ones where interstellar aliens, or of other beings descending down behind a door and flooding every open gap with light. While the light isn’t nerve wracking, it makes me think about what could be coming if there were to be something behind the door.
