Drama 16 Stage Lighting

Time/Place: Wynwood Walls, October 26, 2019, 9:24pm

Theme: Romantic/Romance

Description: I took this picture while walking through the Wynwood Walls gallery. The lighting throughout the pathway was just like this, dark and shadowy. I felt this exhibited a romantic ambiance with the silhouettes casted against the bright paintings. The location gave me an intimate feeling and the darkness of the night eluded to that. The concentration of the spotlights also gives this feeling of admiration for me, shining light on the artwork. This is what romance looks like for me through light.

1. DATE-TIME-LOCATION: 2/6/2020, 5:43pm, Walking from Vander Poel towards the Student Center.
2. OBJECTIVE OBSERVATION: The lamp post light was beaming against the concrete, casting a shadow as I passed it. The shadow increased its size and also created another shadow, but flipped. It continued to grow longer as I walked through the light.
3. SUBJECTIVE OBSERVATION: The lamp post light created a unique design with the shadow my figure casted against the concrete. One shadow developed into two long, unusual shadows and looked really cool in the evening light.

(I thought this posted Thursday, but found it in my drafts. My apologies for the technical misstep.)

3. Theme: Shadow
4. I took this photo after leaving the apartment I was staying in to get a good spot for La Festa di San Giovanni. I was excited to see the food trucks preparing for the event, and before crossing the street took this picture to send to my family. I already felt the crowds emerging, as I was previously warned about, but it was nothing to be afraid of in comparison to NYC. This street in particular was important to me because it’s the first place I arrived at when traveling to Florence, being the place I stayed at for a month.

1. DATE-TIME-LOCATION: January 30th, 2020 – 11:00pm – my dorm room.
2. OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The soft white light from an oil diffuser brightened and dimmed the dark room. There is a change in the strength of the shadows against the wall and ceiling, widening and condensing. 
3. SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: My oil diffuser was brightening and dimming based on the speed of the diffuser and it felt calming to observe. The soft glow around the perimeter of the diffuser created a gentle ambiance for my dorm room, and made me feel more relaxed, which I appreciated.

1. Title: “Sunset in the Bronx”

3. Theme: Sunrise/Sunset
4. This photo is a blend of colors towards the end of a sunset, an evening sky covered with dark blues, purples, and the tail end of light pinks and bright yellow colors. The photo was taken from a train platform high above the ground. I chose this photo because it feels close to the end of a night where things are winding down from the day and it made me feel at ease. I like the perspective from the platform, which is outside, above ground, and in between lamp posts. Even those lights hitting the concrete create this nighttime feeling, contrasting the vibrancy of the sunset occurring quite nicely. I also enjoy the smallest detail, the green signal light in the far left, which is distant but still illuminating.
