week 10- I take selfies in my bathroom because it has the best lighting- Karren Shamo

Granted, this is not the lighting I would take my selfies in, but the statement still stands. 

I think the shade over the window does a good job at softening the light, and I like how the clear box illuminates at the edges and corners. The red from the left is from one of those novelty nightlights you buy at national park gift shops. I enjoy the wash effect it gives without any distinct edges. The last light source is coming from the mirror reflecting the light seeping through the doorframe. I think this completes the spectrum, providing harsh, crisp lines clearly marking the cracks in between the door and wall. Something else I notices was that the red, yellow, and blue are the primary color palette (not of light I promise I remember it's red blue green). 

My favorite part of this picture, though, is the difference between the outside light and the inside light, handily provided by the mirror. I'm not sure how mirrors have been used in lighting aside from inside the actual light so far, but I'd love to play around and see what I could come up with. I do remember that I can't create a focal point and light things on fire, though. I would like to see a production that uses a mirror as more than just a set piece or prop
