Braeden Baumann's Art

Idea: The main idea of this one is that the person's friends are pulling the person out of the lonely world of technology addiction into a happy third place.

Materials: Camera, Lightroom, Photoshop Processes: I got the old photo from SI #7 and duplicated the girl many times to make it appear ghost-like and surreal. Ideas: The idea for this one is to make it more surreal and to make it seem like she is around the people doing the same things and being isolated from one another.

Materials: Camera, Lightroom, Photoshop Processes: I will take the photo and edit it to show my idea Ideas: My idea is to have a group of 3 people sitting together smiling and happy in a Third Place (probably a restaurant), and 2 of the people are holding each of the person's hands, turning them from black and white to colorful and vibrant. This represents how the revitalization of Third Places and communities can alleviate loneliness.

Materials: Camera, Photoshop Processes: I took the photo and edited it in Photoshop, adding several layers such as the roads in the background Ideas: This photo represents the isolating feeling kids can have living in the suburbs.

  Materials: Camera Processes: I took the photo trying to achieve a pale and depressing look Ideas: Represents the lonely and isolating feeling living in the suburbs can have on kids who can't drive 

Materials: Camera, Photoshop Processes: I took the photo with the three people looking at their phones, each with a distinct color. I edited the photo in Photoshop Ideas: The idea for this was that even though they are physically right next to each other, they are still isolated in their own worlds, represented by the three different emotions they convey. This is also to show the negative aspects social media can have in general.

  Idea: I want to convey that each of us sometimes live in our own worlds and realities using social media. Social media can also produce negative feelings such as fear, (emotional) pain, and anger that isolate us from one another when we don't talk about them with each other.

  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

 

  Materials: iPhone Camera, Lightroom, Photoshop Processes: I went out into the street and took a photo of my subject under the street light. I put on a blur filter in Photoshop and edited it slightly in Lightroom. Ideas: I thought this photo would be cool with the high contrast, and it relates to the idea of being all alone when you are stuck on your phone.

  Materials: iPhone Camera, Lightroom Processes: I took a photo of my subject smiling with makeup on and neat hair. I edited the photo and put it on a tablet. My subject held the tablet up to her face, but she had messy hair and smeared makeup. Ideas: This is supposed to represent a fake persona she puts on social media. Her life looks so put together and she looks beautiful, but in reality she is concealing her true feelings and emotions, leading to loneliness and unhappiness.

  Materials: iPhone Camera, Lightroom Processes: I found a picture of a zoom call on Google and took a photo of me staring into it, editing it in Lightroom. Ideas: This shows the isolation and depression many faced when we had to interact with others digitally instead of in person during the pandemic.

  Materials: iPhone Camera, Photoshop Processes: I’m going to take a picture of two people looking at their phones and then going to put it in photoshop and smudge the face into the phone. Ideas: This shows how we are so consumed in our phones that we don’t interact with other people.

  Materials: Pencil Process: I drew out a thumbnail of the idea I wanted to do Ideas: The separation of the happy and vibrant world and the sad and dark world show the fake world the person wants the world to see.

Materials: Camera Processes: I took cords and wrapped them around my hands, arms, and body. I got someone to take a picture of me and edited it in Lightroom. Ideas: The cords being wrapped around me and my hands show how social media and our phones trap and imprison us, keeping us isolated from others and lonely.
