Week #6 : Vivre Dans le Luxe et Fantaisie

I went to Sunset Boulevard  and I was taken by this window display at the Louis Vuitton store. I was curious about how they lit the octopi-looking red design pieces. I saw how light is coming from the top as well as from the sides, making these design objects look 3-dimensional. I think the image would've fallen flat without the lighting that comes from the sides. It is lit subtly with a warm color. I like how I appear as a silhouette when I am standing in front of it and I started getting curious about how the image would change if i was in it and not just standing in front of it. This lighting exudes the luxury and sophistication that goes with the Louis Vuitton brand.

  1. Nice image and analysis of the lighting on it

    A very kinetic piece that would lose much of its motion if lit from the front

  2. Funny Story, When all of the grads and myself were in Vegas for LDI I saw the same window display and Did the same thing. I had to get up close to see this. It was so odd but drew our attention. Great Analysis!
