this was sort of an odd assignment, i feel like it is similar to the first one we did on cinematography and lighting. nonetheless, i found 2 images that i believe have beautiful lighting. the first image is a photograph by Rarindra Prakarsa. i really like the gold overtone with it being strongest on the sheet. i love the way water plays in this picture, not only the reflection on the sheet but also capturing the gold. my second picture is a photo of quentin tarantino from a new york times article. i feel like the photo is quirky, like tarantino, considering he is wearing heels and appears to be a womens suit. he is centered but not facing center, and the light has the creepy 70's feel to it. also, notice the lingerie over the lamp. interesting.

An "odd" assignment, huh? Well... just to clarify. The first assignment asked you to find images that provoke you to think and to feel. But, I didn't specify that you had to "see" light.
ReplyDeleteNow that you've read a good chunk on the technical aspects of lighting, I gave this assignment to ask you to go back and really "see" light... and you have done well my little grasshopper... = )
Nice images! (Embed them! So that folks don't have to link on the link, but can just see them in all their awesomeness on your page)...
Here's the html code img src="CUTANDPASTE THE URL LINK including the http" put it in the < and close with the other (i can't do it here or it gives me a code error, and then your image will show in your page. If you are confused, see me in class and I can show you quickly.
