Week #3 - Kirk

 


While I was visiting home this weekend, I got the lovely opportunity to see my Parent’s cat, Claire. On top of being an adorable and enchanting demon of a cat, she has a talent for finding the perfect light and being incredibly photogenic. Unfortunately I didn’t catch her out on the front porch, where she basks in the sun and catches a beautiful golden halo. Today she was posted as the centerpiece of the living room on a long dark couch, where some soft ambient sunlight highlighted the texture and patterns on her fur. I think I just really love this cat.

    You and Lu need to compare photos this week :). Really nice gentle lighting in the photo. You talk a little of your emotions for the cat but make sure to talk about how the lighting accentuates or changes you emotions in future posts.

Week 8: Angela C: Depth in Art

Image
  Lets talk about this art on the side of a building in downtown LA by the Staple Center. It was a brisky late afternoon and we were heading to the LA Auto Show because my Hubby and Brother in Law love cars. As we were walking the 2 blocks to the Staple Center I came up this artwork. Obviously, it was in a well lit area with the sun giving us the right amount of light to make me focus on all the colors we see in this image. The sun beam in the image and how the bridge is the center focus and the colors surrounding the bridge bring a lot of depth into this image. Now how can this be created on the stage. I feel that we can use the actor light in a bright color that will draw your eye to the center. Then, to create an ambiance we can use some cool and warm tones like an amber or even a soft pink to draw the eye to where it needs to be focused on. Also we can approach it with an angle light from Upstage which will create a shadow. This still will draw our eye to where it needs to go a...

Week 1: Angela- Shadow and Light creates an image

Image
 As I start my 1st yr of grad school, I found myself missing things that make my heart happen. The obivous one is my husband Christian. If we want to talk about light... he lights up my life so much. I find it hard to not be living with him because he too is pursuing his dreams and will start applying to universities for his BS in Astrophysics.  The image above reminds me of the walks with would do when we first started living together. We would walk about the boardwalk or the park. I would find myself staring at the ground looking at everything. With this image I noticed how the sunlight created these interesting images on the ground. It was peeking through whatever the leaves and branches were not covering. I looked at this contrast of shadow/light and it made me think of how could this be used in a play or musical. How would this image make the story progress? Possibly a moment where a lead character is looking for his beloved in the woods and tries to find clues to lead th...

Week #4- Angela Cruz- Texture

Image
  This photo is taken from my the airplane window as I was leaving San Andres, Colombia. This was my first trip ever to South America in the summer of July 2021. My husband and I went for a wedding of our friends. They decided to tie the knot in the groom's homeland. As we were taking off from this island and heading to Medellin, I looked over to this lovely island and took a picture. Now, since it has been months of this memory, from a lighting perspective I can tell the many layers of texture this image has.  On the left side of the image there are variations of blue, light green and black. I feel that they blend together endlessly. The natural light hits parts of the ocean that give depth to the sea, sand and buildings surrounding the ocean. So rather than it looking flat, you can see the movement in the sea and even in the bottom right of the image it looks smoky.  At the top part of the image, there is less natural light which makes the variations of blue look like i...
