Week 4 Swiss Kidkobchai ,Passion

  

      I took this picture when I try to find a color for my color plot for this Halloween project. I use R84 shine over my statue. My goal that I try to achieve is I try to create a moon light effect through my flashlight. The result is quite interesting for me. It look similar to night sky and the low transmission number on the gel cause a limited visibility on the model. However, it highlights edges and winkle of the model. Another point that I like in this picture is an focus on this picture. The focus point of the beam bring a sense of calmness night which in contrast with the red glowing eyes that reflect the anger within it. Also, the outer ring is a good soft focus that draw attention to the model.

    When I took this picture, it remind me why I enjoy lighting. I remember it started when I try to take a picture of my model. I try to create the world for my collection ,so I come up with play around with the light. However, it does not go well with camera but as an observer I do like how each color and texture react to the light which it is fascinating. Also, I become more interested with light after I watch a production of Christmas Carol and Three Sister in OCC. The light in both production are very well at setting mood and places.

Welcome to the Drama 157 Fall 2026 Lighting Journal

Now that you have decided to enhance your appreciation of light, I want to help you develop your eye for light—not just in the theatre, but in your everyday life. To better understand how light can alter your audience's perception, we first need to recognize how it alters our own perception every day. My hope is that this blog helps you discover light in new ways throughout the quarter. You may notice colors you have never paid attention to, recognize the angle of a particular light, or discover new ways to articulate how light makes you feel. To assist with this process, I have created this blog as a space for all of you to share your observations. Starting in Week 2, you will contribute a short post every other week about an aspect of light that you have noticed throughout your daily journeys. Your observations can include a particular moment in a play, a beautiful sunset, a concert, a well-lit store, or the emotional effect of the sun moving behind a cloud. Anything and everythi...

Week 2, Sophia Higgins, Cumberland River

Image
  Hello everyone! During summer break, my brother took this wonderful image of me and the sunset along the Cumberland River (in Nashville, Tennessee). In person, the sunset was much more captivating than displayed here in the photograph.  I chose this image because the sunset has such a bright radiance which blends well with the clouds above creating a sort of peachy colour amongst the clouds. I also really love how the sunlight is reflected onto the river creating a blend between the sunlight's orangey colour mixed with the river's more grey colour.  However, my favorite part of this photograph is how my, then, purple hair looked when the sun rays hit it. I had a deeper purple in my hair, but combined with the amber colour made it look much lighter and pinker.  This image inspires my creative mind in a more colorful way. I would love to use warm and cool tones to create a sunset look because this photo makes me feel light hearted and joyful.

Drama 157 Lighting Journal Example

Hello everyone! The photo I’ve chosen to share with you is of a statue of the Greek god Jupiter located at the Getty Villa. Upon walking into the large room filled with ancient statues and busts, my eye was immediately drawn to this one. It wasn’t in the center of the gallery, nor was it even the largest statue on display; it was the only one primarily lit by natural sunlight. Beneath the central skylight of the room and viewed at midday, it was in the perfect position for the sun to create a sense of majesty and providence that my phone camera wasn’t quite able to capture.  I believe this effect was produced by a combination of a difference of intensity as well as of color temperature between Jupiter and the other statues in the gallery. The warm museum lighting on the surrounding statues was certainly enough for easy viewing, but when compared to sunlight, it will always lose in a battle for dominance. Even the statues touched by both bounced sunlight and museum lighting didn’t e...
