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
