THE BLUE ROOM
The final assignment in my portrait lighting course was to make a self-portrait diptych that evoked how I felt during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Alone, depressed, and anxious. I
spent several nights lying awake in my bed or on the couch with only the light and sound of a TV filling the vacuum of the room.
For this assignment I used the Profoto studio b1 light kit, I MADE HOMEMADE ctb gels, and my laptop screen to create the exact light that I wanted.
School was extremely hard for me. I am restless and am always fidgeting. Sitting at a desk on my laptop for hours a day made my skin crawl.
