Braeden Baumann's Art

  Materials: Camera, Lightroom, Photoshop Processes: I took the photo in the mall. I put the photo in Photoshop and separated the two sides into two different layers. I edited the the left side slightly to give it a warmer feel. I significantly edited the right side in Photoshop, removing the people, making it much darker, making the plants look dead, and changing the colors. Ideas: This photo symbolizes the death of malls and other third places which used to be bustling and lively but are now abandoned and dead. Without going to third places, people become lonely and isolated. This especially affects my generation.

 

  Materials: iPhone Camera, Lightroom, Photoshop Processes: I took a picture of my subject in a parking garage. I edited it in Lightroom and put the "no exit" sign in Photoshop. Ideas: This photo represents the isolating feeling that our cities can sometimes have when everything is far away and has to be accessed by cars
