It includes quotes from photographers emphasizing how lighting can make people feel emotions and that photographs convey opinions rather than facts or truth. The document promotes experimenting with different lighting styles like mystical, hero, flirty, and sexy to find an intriguing and effective photographic style.
This project is a teaching module of my own design. Its purpose is to introduce non-major theatre students to a stage lighting instrument's parts, maintenance, safety protocols, and use. All verbiage, photographs, and drawings are my own unless otherwise noted. I have used my own theatrical projects as the primary examples in this presentation.
This presentation is given in my Theatre Appreciation classes. Like all teaching modules in my courses, it is given in cooperation with an interactive lecture and online quiz. It is posted on Blackboard as a Powerpoint file, for my students' continual reference and review.
This presentation has also been made available to fellow faculty and administrators, as basic instructions for the maintenance and repair of stage lighting equipment in campus auditoriums.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Florida Light can be mystical, playful... a part of a photograph that isn't even perceptibly lit...
Seattle Light can show us the subject... create a sense of heroism and grandeur. Laura
Detroit Light can be purely fun... like a moment captured on a bright spring morning... a breezy warmth to warm the cold. Lindsey
Philadelphia Light can envelop the subject. Light tells us about the place... and the subjects role in it. Bri
Light can define the the shape... and in turn provide a sense of place and time. Bri
Houston Creating multiple edges and shadows can confuse the viewer and provide a new sense of excitement. And a bit of mystery. Robert
Beauty lighting shows perfection in the most beautiful subjects.
Santa Barbara Light can draw us in and make it seem like we are witnessing a new journey take shape. One that has mystery and intrigue. Bri
Mexico Light can be warm and infectious... as the laugh of a pretty girl on a hot Mexican afternoon. Christina
Sexy, flirty light can enhance a sexy, flirty model. Defining her beauty and charm as well as providing a reason for the demeanor and pose. Taylor
Houston Illustrative lighting can use multiple sources to create an image that is not 'normal' or based in reality... there are too many sources the mind screams... and they eye is taken in. Robert
Freezing the jumper while keeping the ambient and sky within the dynamic range... strobes to the rescue. Needed a small aperture which results in a slow shutter speed... Flash then is used to freeze the subject... mostly.
Miami Arizona When the light doesn't cooperate, we bring our own. Shot in the shade, the model is lit from the ambient around her... large white buildings and a fill card. "Sunlight" is a small strobe on a stand shooting through the car window behind her. Christina
Florida Sun was way down... and not providing me with light that looked like I saw it in my head. I used portable flashes to create the scene as I saw it.
San Jose Natural light from a well lit bank of stores behind me allows the light to wrap around her. The wind is a bonus. Gold reflector used to lighten the area up behind her. Malita
New York Horrible overcast, harsh light. Terrible location. Forget the negatives and make it positive... light becomes the feature of the shoot. By bringing the exposure down to show the clouds, we effectively spotlighted the model. Bri
Surrounding the subject with soft light allows her to seem a bit alone... as in a dream world. Wen
Direct, highlight lighting defines the subject on both sides, and the feeling is one of approachability. Color and styling must be right to pull this one off... flaws will show. Richelle
Backlight says something to us all by itself... it has a feeling, and emotion to it... The feeling here is one of open, transparency to the subject.
Prescott Client shoot for a "greener" approach to keeping Volleyball stats... electronically. Strobes were used to define the subject and give her 'hero' status amongst the forest. Bri
Seattle Light can create drama where none exists.
Seattle Light creates mood... adds elements of interest and in doing so can transform a bland location into something more fantasy like.
Bermuda The light can make one feel as if they are there. Additional light can help show us what would be missed in terribly contrasty situations... how much it is applied can be the difference between natural and illustrative.
Seattle Keeping the subject lit within the ambient can be a more subtle tool, but the results can be at once soft and interesting. Laura
San Diego Light and pose can work together to create a sense of emotion. Emotional light reveals and hides at the same time in this shot.
Seattle Light brings us into a space of mystery and adds emotion to a moment caught - and held - forever.
Light can be whimsical and fun too. Subtleties can be revealed and tonalities exploited. Erica
Seattle Spotlighting a subject adds an illustrative effect to the shot.
Baltimore (left) Phoenix (right) Soft and romantic and hard and dramatic.
New Orleans Using the natural world and the natural light as though they were studio lights. Dramatic shafts and hot overheads can be treated as though they were yours... just do it. (iPhone 2G Camera Photos)
Seattle Beauty light lets the beauty of the subject come through. Isabel
Florida Adding a bit of light that "makes sense" to the overall scene can create a natural looking, yet illustrative image. (I love soft overcast... a lot.) Bri
Bermuda Illustrative use of strobe to add a sense of uniqueness to the portrait on the left. Photograph on the right is totally naturally lit... the bright street scene blows out the reality behind her and we concentrate on her 'open' exposed side coming toward us. You can almost feel the heat of the day. (You can't feel the humidity of it all though... OMG.)
Shot on left San Diego Shot on right West Palm Beach Left side is open shade. It reveals and allows the beauty to come through... subtle shading can be achieved with fill cards and careful attention to the surroundings. Right side is also natural light. Sun to my back, and overcast. The overall softness allows the contrast to be easily controlled.
Bermuda The sun can provide some wonderfully dramatic moments if you look for corridors of light and areas where shadows can be a player in your shot. The sun was coming down a street and going in and out of clouds... to say this shot was a challenge is to not know how far and fast the light can change with fast moving small clouds... LOL. Wow.
Beauty shots and beauty lighting shows the subject in full on frontal lighting - highlight light . I use everything from 20" umbrellas to 60" umbrellas, softboxes to beauty dishes... all in the ever nuanced chase to find the perfect light for the specific face in front of me. ... And sometimes I just love to play around and try stuff... there. I said it.
Sedona Playful use of light and increased drama can add interest to a photograph taken at a roadside rest area on the interstate. Bri
Bright overcast light, an open environment, lots of light bouncing around... and a perfect place to shoot some lovely headshots... on my 2G iPhone.
Highlights can sculpt and reveal. They add dimension and create contrast in non contrasty situations. Shot with the modeling lights on high ISO these images show what oiled skin can look like when reflecting large light sources... smooth and liquid highlights. Taylor
Akron Surround light... coming from all angles. No additional lights added - this shot was done in a small causeway, so light spilled from behind me and on both sides of her. Sarah
Akron Standing in the middle of the intersection with light bouncing off of a window in a building behind her and in a direct patch of sunlight behind me, she is forever frozen in a sexy, playful image. Exposure blew out the highly reflective asphalt behind her... gladly.
Similar lighting separated by nearly 30 years.
New Orleans Finding areas of interesting light and then making portraits is one of my most favorite things to do. 2G iPhone images.
"In the Day" Natural light of early morning behind her, and large sand dunes behind me. No additional lights used. Images are 30 years old. Pat
"In the Day" Sun and reflector on the left, 5 studio strobes in grids on the right. Images are 25 years old.
"In the Day" To the left is small strobe and ambient, and on the right is a large scrim and movie lights (5K) - both images shot on 4x5 cameras.
Editorial portrait. I wanted to show the sunset, the old growth and the subject in the middle of it. I used a small strobe to light her and worked to keep the flared sun in the image without too many artifacts. Dr Megan Abshire Hospice Director
Mexico Subject in the water. Photographer in the water. Assistants with strobes in the water. Keeping the exposure in the range to also capture the sun and clouds behind her. Small shoot through umbrella with two speedlight type flashes in it. Prescilla
