Time: Around 8:15 AM
Location: Netherlands Core
Objective: The sun is still rising, illuminating the tree leaves making them look yellow in the morning sun.
Subjective: Despite no one being awake yet, all the light outside the window makes everything feel alive, the trees glow yellow as if there are higher beings behind them, and the room and spaces outside feel alive with no one to inhabit them.

Time: around 6:30 P.M.
Location: Lowe Hall
Objective: all the lights are on in 216, but it’s dark outside
Subjective: There’s only a few other people in the room and a movie is playing on the projector. Despite the harshness of the fluorescents, the space feels welcoming and friendly.

Description: This photo is of Snow scene in the Nutcracker performed by Nevada Ballet Theatre. I really like the use of lighting here making it feel like they are in a chilly winter wonderland which not all Nutcrackers really achieve.

Cold
The white light mixed with a tint of blue taking over this space makes it feel cold and barren. It feels like an abandoned and mysterious place. The absence of light also plays an important part in this picture because the darkness creeping around the edges of the frame make my mind associate this with nighttime which is colder.

Theme: Cold
Description: I chose this photo because the lighting and operation of cryo therapy chambers make everything around them far below freezing. The cold makes it so that your body’s survival instinct kicks in, and blood flow and chemicals in your body start changing, and once you step out they slowly return to normal. The lighting encompasses this same cold feeling, the blues in the background and the white with hints of blue from above the chamber bring out the smoke. Everything is made to look like ice, and the lighting sells that feeling even more.

Description: This photo takes place on an empty street at night. The blue wash of light encompasses most of the image except for the tiny dot of warm light in the far left and the sky, which is also a warm grey in contrast to the cool-bluish grays we can see on the road and sidewalks. The cool blue light from the main streetlight creates this coldness in the photo. The blue lighting also adds to the emptiness in the image, as cool lighting can be associated with being devoid of life from the lack of warmth.

Theme: Cold
I wanted to find something evocative of coldness that could easily appear warm with only a simple lighting change. Searching for basements and warehouses eventually lead me to this image. What drew me to it most was how simple it was. It is just a pretty typical industrial warehouse loading dock, seen from inside. There are only two sources of light, both of which are visible. The first is the sunlight that is blowing out the highlights on the windows, which is a stark white point in the image. The next is the overhead fluorescent tubes that you can spot in the upper left corner, but which more than likely cover the entire ceiling of this room. These lights are both tuned toward a very cool temperature, but only slightly. It might be a trick of the camera, but regardless it has a serious effect. What should be white light has an almost silvery/blue twist to it. The lack of color also helps sell the effect — with most of the image being made up of various grays. Although not directly related to lighting, the surface materials and texture add to the effect. The semi-reflective concrete feels like a garage or a basement, something you would not want to walk on without some good shoes and a warm pair of socks. Aside from that feeling, it also feels cold in the sense that is seems pretty lifeless. There are no human subjects, and no interesting objects. Everything you see in the image was created to serve a solely practical purpose, a byproduct of some industry that demanded things like garage doors and pallet jacks and tightly wrapped bundles of boxes shoved into the backs of trailers. Not exactly a place you would want to hang out or spend time with friends.

Theme: cold
Description: Everything about this photo is cold to me. Not only does it depict a scene we know would be frigid in temperature, but the lighting drives home the feeling. The snow is so white, and though it makes the photo brighter, it does so without warmth – and I mean that in the sense that certain colors can be warm, and this photo contains none of them. The starkness of the dark trees against the pure white surroundings, including that blank, featureless sky, suggest cold simply by removing the possibility of sunlight. There is nothing in this picture to provide warmth, even in some small way.
