Week 7: Red

This evening I was working at the Mesa parking booth with my friend Cat for a Brown Bag event. When I turned around I noticed how the red of the light outside of the booth was hitting her face. It was so unexpected how beautiful that light was- it came out of nowhere! Sometimes you don't really notice a light until someone's standing right underneath it.
It is such a strong statement that I actually gasped when I turned around and caught her standing right in it. Her hair also has hints of red and pink in it as well, so the light reflected quite nicely.
I never really thought about red as an exterior light in this context, but it pops out from the background really well and the high angle creates a lovely layer of atmosphere.

An unexpected find in an everyday location. Lighting is everywhere!!

  1. wow, she really is picking up that red light extremely well, almost as if that light is directly focused on her, there's not much red on the surroundings either! Weird! I like the rays of light in the first picture too...these images are almost solely lit with weird ugly parking lot lights...it's nice that they're making kind of pretty pictures :)
