Single Warm Lamp: One Pool of Light

A dark room lit by only one lamp. An old table lamp with a fabric shade or stained-glass shade is placed on a side table, with a low-wattage warm yellow tungsten bulb; it illuminates a one-meter radius—a chair, a stack of books, a hand—while the rest of the room is reduced to outlines. The ceiling is completely dark. A person's face is lit from the side, with the other half in shadow. Avoid: adding a second or third light source, using ceiling lighting, increasing the lamp's brightness, using cool white and neutral white light.

一個只靠一盞燈照明的深色房間。一盞有布罩或彩色玻璃罩的舊檯燈放在邊几上,燈泡是低瓦數的暖黃鎢絲;它照亮周圍一米的範圍——一張椅子、一疊書、一隻手,其餘的整個房間只剩輪廓。天花完全暗掉。人的臉被側面照亮,另一半在陰影裡。避免:加入第二第三個光源、使用天花照明、把燈的亮度調高、使用冷白與中性白的光。
