Camera pic references for lighting

When i took the specific pictures below with my camera, i was keeping in mind how the light was being projected and the reflection as well as brightness that its effect had on the surrounding objects.

Since i am going to be lighting up an office room, i took a picture of my hand next to my TV just to see how the light was being projected onto my hand. Obviously the results were that it was very strong and bright. The first pic below is my hand a few centimetres away from the Tv and my hand looks bright but if you look at the 2nd pic that follows you will notice that my hand gets brighter as it leans closer to the TV. So in basic principle this would also apply to a Computer Moniter, where if a person is facing the moniter close up then the light from the mointer will be projected back into his face. This is something i will look out for as i am lighting the office environment.


Saw some interesting lights and colours while i was in my local cinema below in this pic. I like the purple look and the ambience of the lights. Could be something i could use for my scene.


I took this picture below when i was in my room. I just like the fact the light is being illuminated onto the ceiling and how it gradually fades out. That is something i want to achieve in my environments.



I decided to get more references of real lighting and i used my phone camera to take pictures of my university since it had a lot of interesting lights and mood. The general lights in university were not what i expected since they were all different shapes of lights and ray. The more i started exploring the place, the more i realised that this place was perfect as an example of what we should try and aim for in our environments.
From the pictures, you will see a lot of lighting in different places and just the nature of how its projecting the ray of light onto the surfaces.
