Rosalie Dierking Lighting Blog Week #14

While doing the lights for The Unseen Hand, I had to crawl underneath the trap door to turn off the fog machine. The fence above me was letting the light in through the cracks and the leftover fog allowed these curtains of light to form. You can kind of see it in this photo, but it's definitely not as obvious as it is in person. Because of the different lights that were shining on it, multiple versions of this effect were created in different colors and intensities. I'm very fascinated by the amount of possibilities haze creates! The dimension that it can create brings a whole new meaning to adding shape to things :)

    Omg Rosie ! I can't believe you uploaded a picture under the trap like me, however, we both gave different perspectives from each other. When looking at this picture, it really gives me the vibe of Tron from space. I love the bright blue light and the way how the the cracks of the fence is adding a pattern next to it. This picture is such a nice way to end the final blog! :)

    This is a very stunning perspective of the light coming from above those wood cracks. When I first saw this image I thought it was that lighted hallway in Little Tokyo by Akiko Yamashita called Portal. (http://www.akikoyamashita.com/Portal check it out if you aren't familiar with it) The light also closes resembles a LED light show at music festivals/concerts. I enjoyed reading your last comment on your post. "brings a whole new meaning to adding shape to things" 👍

    oooooooooo SO COOL! hahaha oh that haze ;) it really does do lovely things for light, especially when you're dealing with the different colored diodes of LED fixtures, you never quite know what colors and lines you're going to get! Great commentary! Thanks for sharing!

    This is a great picture for a post! It reminds me of a hallway that is near a plaza at Little Tokyo! Everyone loves and enjoys doing photo shoots there! This feels like the type of lighting at a very upbeat club or a techno music concert!

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...
