Thalía Hendricks Week 8

I chose this image one day while I was walking to class. I saw it through the door window and adored the soft light coming through the blinds and how it warmly illuminated the room. I thought the amber hue to the room was so welcoming and calm. I also noticed that the different spaces between the blinds created different streaks of light but they all still seem very natural. Then the polished wood of the desks allowed the light to be smoothly seen but not shine as harshly as it would on metal. I wanted to take a picture of the room from a different angle but the automatic lights came on once I stepped foot inside. Entirely, I thought this image was very lovely.

    oooooh LOVE this image! Love the uneven streaks of light creating a wonderfully theatrical cyc or background to the room. Love the warm hue despite the cool blue sunlight source. Love the reflection of uneven light off the semi shiny floor and desks. I'd love to take this photo and design a dance piece with this scenic/lighting combo in mind! Super interesting!

    What catches my eye in this is the many reflective surfaces that bounce the refracted light coming through the window. This adds a depth to the image, and brings me to focus on odd parts of the room. The blinds do really add a warmer tone to the cold light, making a nice contrast and adding a nice color source to the scene. I love that there are no sharp shadows or rays of sun. The image makes me feel lovely and lonely, which I do find fit together, and I feel I could get a lot of work done in this room. If only it wasn't for those automatic lights! Great picture.

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

Image
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...
