Lighting Observation

1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: March 29th 2021, 6:14 PM, my dorm room.

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The sunlight bouncing off of my roommates makeup bag that is covered in silver sequins.

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The sunlight bounces off of each sequin, casting tiny dots of light on the wall above the bag. The dots start out tiny and then get longer and more dim the further they move away from the bag. The small speckles of sunlight remind me of twinkling stars in the night sky. The silver makeup back reflects the sunlight in a way that makes it look like a mushed disco ball.

Photo Observation

2) ATTRIBUTES: This photo is a Dior ad that was found through a Google search. The website it came from was marieclaire.co.uk/news/fashion

3) THEME: Ad/Desire

4) DESCRIPTION: The photo showcases a beautiful woman highlighted by a strong red light. Red light is often associated with feelings of love, lust and desire. The contrasting blue light makes her skin and the background appear green, a color associated with feelings of greed and envy. The red and blue lights highlight the woman’s outfits and accessories, attracting the eyes of the viewer to those areas. The lighting encourages the viewer to look at the clothing and in turn look into the brand.

Light Observation

1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: March 19th 2021, 8:55PM, Constitution Hall booth, on facetime with my best friend.

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The light coming from my best friends phone and shining on his face.

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The bright artificial light shines on my best friends cheeks, nose and forehead, casting the rest of his face in shadow. The artificial light continues to change hue, from red to blue to white. Each color creates different highlights and shadows on his face. The contrasting colors represent the alternating society in which we live in, constantly dictated by the everchanging nature of social media and technology.

3) THEME: Spring

4) DESCRIPTION: The photo represents the beginning of spring: a small succulent ready to grow into a strong plant once the spring weather hits. The morning sun shines on the tiny plant and illuminates half of the pot while casting the other half in a soft shadow. The contrasting light represents the transition from a dark, cold winter into a bright, warm spring.

Lighting Observation

1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: March 11th 2021, 10:00PM, the Pride Den located on the bottom floor of the student center.

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The cylindrical light fixtures that hang from the ceiling of the Pride Den.

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The light emanating from the cylindrical light fixtures is warm and bright. The excessive amount of light fixtures leave little room for shadows, creating a bright and welcoming place. Every fixture allows the perfect amount of light for studying, talking with friends, or even relaxing. The brightness of the lights encourages production and high energy.

 

Photo Observation

2) ATTRIBUTES: This photo was taken by me on March 21st 2020 at 11:53PM. It was taken in my temporary dorm room in Nassau/Suffolk.

3) THEME: Single light source (artificial).

4) DESCRIPTION: This photo shows my dorm room illuminated by a single strand of yellow/white string lights. The darkness of my bed sheets paired with the warm glow of the string lights provides a sharp contrast. It captures the cool, calm feeling that spring nights bring. The bright, artificial lights illuminate the desk while keeping the bed relatively shadowed, furthering the natural separation of work and rest.

 

Lighting Observation

1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: March 4th 2021, 7:43PM, RSR booth in Estabrook Hall.

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The large outside lamp on the side of the building. Located directly outside of the RSR booth.

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The light itself is huge and has a rather gothic looking base. Despite the size of the lamp, the light that it emits is extremely dim. The warped glass causes the light to appear blurred or fuzzy. The light emitted from the bulb is a soft white/yellow light. The light serves as a beacon to lead tired college students home; a welcoming and calming light to encourage those who enter to relax and make themselves at home.

Photo Observation

2) ATTRIBUTES: This photo was taken by me at the Secaucus Junction train station on December 26 2020 at 7:42PM.

3) THEME: Night Life

4) DESCRIPTION: The photo showcases the city that never sleeps at night. The small twinkling lights of the city almost resemble stars against the inky black sky. The desolate parking lot with aggressive fluorescent lights mirrors the dark desolate sky. The absence of light creates ominous shadows. The slight light in the sky illuminates the clouds still present in the sky.
