reflected rehearsal light: week 7

I took these images in rehearsal this past thursday and was excited to have a figure in the image so I could see how the light touched her.I was interested in how this backlight created a silhouette, but I was more interested in how the light is able to highlight her contour and sort of wrap around the body. Because the angle is low it makes a really nice long shadow within the shaft of light it produces on the floor. I noticed in the 50c class, a lot of the students used the light in the center upstage because of the way it lights the floor in front of the model.I was interested in how the sunlight came in through the window and then was reflected in the mirror onto the floor, which created natural cuts.I also like how in this image above the light coming in from the window creates a blue/purple color on the floor and comes from the same source but is filtered in a different way. It is interesting also that we can photograph a light source and itmakes really interesting shadows around it, but if we were to design a cue with a light that when this directly into someone's face, they would not notice the shadow, but actually be blinded.
