Week 5 - Claire Trevor Theater

I took this photo a couple days ago while we were waiting during the Halloween project. Usually, the class waits outside, but we had to seek shelter in the Claire because it started to rain. This past week was unusually cold, given that the week before had temperatures in the 100s. The thing that intrigued me the most were the shadows that all the cables and fixtures cast on the walls. I liked how it made the space look much messier than it actually was - because the color of the cables and their shadows were very similar, it looked like there were more cables hanging than there actually was. I also like how the lighting made the room look so vast. Towards the bottom of the photo, everything is clear and bright and visible. But when you start to look up, everything gets a little darker and you're not exactly sure what is up there or how high up the ceiling is. The dimness along with the shadows create a sense of mystery. Lastly, the photo overall is pretty dark because of all the greys and blacks, which I thought captured the essence of the rainy weather outside that day. The colors along with all the shadows created by the lighting made the space seem stark and gloomy.
