When I was taking this picture I didn't take the lighting into consideration. My boyfriend was in town for the week and I really wanted to have a picture of the two of us. Looking back at this photo I really should have waited for a better opportunity! You can hardly see our faces from the overhead light and there's a glare everywhere. This relates me back to theatre lighting because front lighting is really vital so you can see the actors. The first objective is to light the actors so the audience can see them, and if you haven't got that it's failing the first job!
I guess the failure of this picture means that my boyfriend is going to have to take me out again for another chance at better lighting, so I still win! :)
Oddly enough though, I really like the warm color of the lighting, it really makes me reminiscent of the scene and how I felt with him, a sort of warm and fuzzy feeling. Is that cheesy or what? But that also shows how important gel color is for the mood of a piece, it really gives you a deeper feeling to add onto what's happening on stage.
Nice analysis of the goods and bads of the photo and how color affects our mood :)
