Drama 16 Stage Lighting

I took this photo over the summer visiting my family in Iowa. This picture was taken just after sunset, and the setting sun really enhances the vibrant blue of the sky. The lighting and sky was also so beautiful there overall because we were in the middle of nowhere, so there was no light pollution to block the colors. This lighting feels like summer for me because of how long the sky stays bright after the sunset, and it brings out nostalgic feelings for me, which also reminds me of the end of summer.

I chose this photo because summer is about long days and appreciating the outdoors. This photo reminds me of summer’s nostalgia and brings back memories of beach days and watching the sunset. I love the warm sky colors and how the sun shines through the breaking waves.

Theme: Summer

Summer, to me, means a nice walk through a park on a warm sunny day. This is a park that is relatively close by to me and I always love how pretty it looks especially when the sun hits it on an early afternoon day.

Description: To celebrate the long journey of graduating high school, 6 of my close friends and I took a trip to the beach for 3 days at the end of last June. This summer, we want to plan another trip together, not necessarily at the beach but somewhere fun, or to plan to go see a concert or something else over the summer while we all have time together.

This photo I found online while looking specifically for something that had a nice evening vibe. Summertime is know for the longer days and shorter nights, but I find that summer evenings are some of the best times to exist. In the photo it seems to be early dusk, most of the landscape in the background is in shadow and silhouetting against a dark blue sky. The sunset either just happened, or is across the sky on the other horizon. Under the cover of this porch there are two other sources of illumination that give contrast. The first is an exposed overhead bulb, good old fashion incandescent with a warm splash of amber light. Around the edge of the porch is a bunch of fairy lights that are loosely hung so as to dangle and overlap somewhat — which look to be just a hint warmer than the bulb. These artificial sources provide a warm glow that envelops this quiet and contemplative space. It is separated from the outside world, but only somewhat. A mere few steps away is everything else that life has to offer, but under this little wooden roof is a place to sit and enjoy a bit of peace. It feels calming, the kind of spot you could enjoy in so many different ways with or without anyone else involved.

This image is of a beach in my town in which  my friends and I frequent exclusively in the summer time. The bright yellow sun with an orange gradient in to purple tones combined with the white foaming of the ocean reminds me of carefree days when all responsibilities are set aside and one can simply relax at the beach and watch the sun set while listening to the waves crash upon the shore. The purple tones looming over the sky signifying the end of a happy day represents a lullaby type soothing, kindly telling the world to rest for the day.

2. Objective Description: I was in musical theater class in Lowe 108 and we were performing our final projects. As my partner and I taught our short audition piece, I could feel the sunlight coming in from the windows hitting my back. It was not very bright out since the sun was setting.
3. Subjective Description: While the lighting outside was dimming, the warmth illuminating from the windows indicated the onset of summer. The faint glow excited me for life after college to come soon, but also for the relaxation in the near months before entering “adulthood.”

3. Description: This photo captures all of my favorite aspects of summer: clear skies, ocean waters, spending time with friends, warm lighting, and relaxation. The vibrant blue sky reflects a large amount of light into the water so that people may see their feet in the sand. Moreover, the brightness of the environment and cleanliness of the water create an almost “drinkable” appearance to the ocean. Over summer, I hope to travel to Sicily and see beaches as beautiful as this one.

THEME : Summer

DESCRIPTION : My first association with summer is lots of warm tone colors. However, when thinking more about it, I realized that a large part of my thoughts on the summer have to do with the beach and spending time in the water. So, for this picture, I wanted to highlight the excess amount of light blue tones. The color pallet of this picture gives off the idea of summer to me because of its specific shade of blue. Further, the bright natural lighting that washes the entire landscape is a keystone of summer to me. During the summertime, there is not a spot of land that the sun doesn’t touch, and the ability to take in all the light is what makes the summer so amazing.

4) DESCRIPTION: I chose this image for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I think sunflowers are the most summery flower there is. They’re bright, colorful, and always facing the sun (looking towards the brightness of life). Secondly, I think the lighting in this image is spectacular. The beams radiating from the sun are almost cartoonish in their perfection, and it’s also the brightest part of the image. The contrast of the colors and shadows make the image much more interesting and help the viewer focus on the central sunflower. The lighting of this image perfectly encapsulates the feeling on a hot summer day; free and hopeful, basking in the summer sun.
