Christina Antolin Week 8


This picture was taken in the hallway of my home. As I was walking to my room I noticed how nice the light from the spring door was hitting the wall. I also noticed that the wall looked like it had a hue of blue washing over it despite the wall being a peach/brown color . That is when I noticed that that blue was coming from the television that  my dad had on in the living room. I found the lighting in this image captivating because there were so many factors to it in such a small space. The metal design of the spring door worked as a gobo would on a fixture creating a pattern on  the wall and painting. The orange paint on the art piece is emphasized by the light of the sunlight coming in. The sun was actually setting around the time I took this picture so the angles were shaped by the suns location as well as the door.  Since the sun was setting the color of the light from the sun was more amber which I think helped create a warm feeling. The amber with the contrast of the blue hue really merged nicely making a beautiful source of light.

    ahhh Christina! Such a great photo and really detailed, spot on commentary! You're right! So much going on in this photo and you touched on so much of it! Love that golden hour sunset color tone to this photo, really picking up the rich red/orange in the picture. Love the color mixing of the manmade television light and the setting sun. And that soft texture adding some detail to the whole thing...really great job!

Rosalie Dierking - Lighting Post week 2

The other day I went to a concert at LA Live in downtown and when I went to use the bathroom in one of the nearby hotels, I had to go through this hallway. I was taken aback by how simple and elegant the lighting was. The way the white marble flooring reflects the geometric lights is really gorgeous! I love the choice of warm colors they made and how it make the room feel very cozy despite geometric designs typically making architectural lighting feel more harsh and uninviting (compared to other softer lighting choices). My favorite part of this whole hallway is how they managed to light it in a way that draws your eyes to the painting at the end which helps make it the focus piece of the room. -Rosie

Thalia Hendrick Week 14

For my last blog I decided to choose something more close to home. I have always had a fascination for nature and have always loved seeing blooms from outside my window. This picture was taken last week when I was home writing a paper. I noticed that the sun was setting and a beautiful golden wash was placed over a rose bush I had outside. Since the curtains inside my home were closed, there was no light being let into the room. I thought this image in particular was beautiful because of the contrast of light and darkness in the image. Although there is no light inside the room, it is still being bounced off of the brick wall and other things outside to illuminate part of the doorway and curtain. The blue sky is a beautiful gradient of blue and adds liveliness to the image. I also thought the red of the roses added character to the golden amber and greens in the picture. It brings out such softness when the light from the sunset is very harsh.  Entirely, I loved this image for ev...

Arturo Gonzalez Week 6

Week 6 This week's photo was a picture taken of my car dashboard. I was sitting in my car parked underneath a light as I was about to go into work. I found the combination of colors from where I was reclined very interesting. On the inside there was different Amber glows made by the light coming from above. Outside it was sunset, the sky had a blue ombre color that went from dark to light. The thing that came to my mind when I first saw this was the picture projects and how these saturated colors resembled that of the gels on the lighting fixtures in class and how it would look to replicate on stage. It is also interesting how this combination of natural light with  artificial light blended so beautifully. This moment was unique because it described a specific time of day seen in the shadows and light. It would have been something entirely different at a different time of day or different location. And yes to complimentary colors, I have enjoyed being more aware of light as it...
