Drama 16 Stage Lighting

ATTRIBUTES : This photo was taken in the Lawrence Herbert Communications Building Wednesday, February 17, 2022 at 5:39 pm. 

THEME : Romance

DESCRIPTION : I chose this photo because the juxtaposition between the large space and the dimly lit part of the room creates a feeling of intimacy. There is a sense of reassurance and safety created in the sectioned off portion of the room. Further, the high window panels remind me of strips of moonlight, a staple in many romantic dates perpetuated in television. It is as if nothing else would exist in that space other than the romance itself. 

1) January 29-9:50 PM- My Bedroom

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The room was completely dark, save for a pink neon light that cast a room (already covered in an array of light pink decorations) in a warm, pink glow

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: I was showing an old friend my room, as they had not seen it this year. I figured they would appreciate the neon sign, and how “me” the pink girls girls girls was. When we turned the lights off, and I saw their face illuminated by the soft, pink lighting, I understood how it truly feels to be hopelessly infatuated with a moment in time. I wanted to photograph it, or paint it. It felt dark, yet, at the same time,  soft and wholly intimate.

3. Romantic

4. For me, the “kiss in the rain” is the most quintessential romantic image. No matter how many times it is used, I always find it somehow magical. I love the way the lighting gets hazy in the rain, and the two people start to blur together, and their heads are the only thing you can clearly define.

3) Romantic

4) A romantic feeling is defined differently for every person. The specifics can be immensely contrasting but it all relates. Everyone knows what it’s like to be in love, have a romantic relationship, or just simply butterflies in your stomach. The warm feeling of being close to someone is really captured in this light. I love that you can’t see the flame of the candle, but you can practically feel the soft and warm light glowing off it. It feels like a sunrise: sharing it with someone you care about.

3) Theme: Romantic

4) When I saw this photo, I felt it fit the theme of romantic perfectly. The atmosphere in the room is calming and relaxing. Candles are what provides all of the lighting in this room. The rose pedals, champagne bottles and other items signify romance. I like the way the candles on the right hand side of the photo bring out the most light. You can see the reflection of the candle on the white wall of the room. Also, there are many shadows on the wall where the candles are not placed. You can see the different shades of lighting on the wall.

3) Theme: Romantic

4) It’s hard to think about the theme of romance and think about lighting instead of the subject material. There are so many ways to symbolize romance in our society, from hearts, to people kissing, even to the color red. Romance is exaggerated and yet in some ways trivialized. Romance is this big, passionate, fighting battle, it’s red and it’s loud and it’s shaped like a big heart. I think that romance in reality has this passion and fighting, but a lot of what romance is is truth and comfortability and allowing someone to be close to you. I think the lighting in this picture is exactly that. It does not distort the subject material. It shows the darkness and lightness of what is most important.

1. Found both images at  http://www.layoutsparks.com/myspace-layouts/sunset_0

2. Romantic, also Vibrant, Saturated

3. I couldn’t decide between these two incredible and beautiful sunset images. Both have these incredible pink and purples that I was very drawn to because they almost don’t feel real! I mean, they don’t look unnatural, yet the color is so delicate it seems like a watercolor. Add to that the silhouetted  stones and the lavender reflection on the beach and it’s really, really romantic. The second images is also very romantic, I’m drawn to the brilliant reds reflecting on the water’s surface. It’s really incredible in both of these instances to see not only the stunning color of the light in the sky, but how that colored light reflects off other surfaces, namely the water and the sand in the first images.
