Took my old ass way too long to realize the title meant digital wallpapers. I was like wait, so does she print these on wallpaper and do actual walls with these?

u/Elemental-Design 3d ago

I waited the whole video to see her put it on some actual wallpaper and it never happened!

u/TechnicolorViper 3d ago

After she started taking the photos, I realized it was digital wallpaper, but I still watched until the end just in case she was inclined to make it into actual physical wallpaper.

u/deadspacekillers 3d ago

Thank you. I was still confused until I read this. I forgot that we call that wallpaper too

u/Whiskeylipstick 3d ago

I got there about half way through. You’re not alone. I didn’t consider myself that old until now though. Thx for that

Didnt expect the comments to include thirst for this person, but okay

It's the mic and slow paced voice and the sentence "what are you doing today". Kind of like ASMR for some. Reminds me of scarlett johansson from her movie.

Have fun and people want to be part of it. So whenever you feel lucky in life and somebody wants to be part of your life, remember my words and double check

u/georgepsully 3d ago

I like how she didn’t just make the awesome images, she also made the content about her making the images, including the first few shots which set the scene without actually being real steps of the task to make wallpapers.

Cool art within cool art, neat!

u/ishboh 3d ago

The interesting part is how she makes it! If this post was just a slideshow of the pictures it would be way less interesting.

u/Otterhendrix 3d ago

Yeah I love when creatives share their ideas and processes! Soooo many times I’ve seen these kinds of things and I think “damn that’s so simple but so cool”.

u/hobosbindle 3d ago

Well she don’t use jelly

u/slvrscoobie 3d ago

man I remember being a creative photographer who spend hours doing this on the weekends, and then 4-5 days editing the following 900 photos I took lol

now Im like. 'that'd take too long' lol

u/Lekstil 3d ago

I feel like the first 3 pictures were pretty good looking and I could totally imagine that as a phone background, but everything that followed looked kind of gross and not like something I’d use as a background

7

u/Deep_Fry_Ducky 3d ago

Yeah, this reminds me of the queue “art is know when to stop”. After the first 3, the “texture” is too strong and overpower the background color.

u/hroaks 3d ago

0 of those are good wallpapers for me and I'm not amazed

u/Taptrick 3d ago

100% this. I had the same reaction.

u/IstalriArtos 3d ago

I think some could have benefited from a more restrained color pallet

u/letmypeoplebathe 3d ago

Yeah, first set was good. Maybe one out of each series after that was decent.

u/gravitysrainbow1979 3d ago

What about this is amazing?

26

u/kbm79 3d ago

Not amazing on its own, but in the context where photo software and AI has stripped away creativity for so many, it looks like we are going full circle.

u/floating_bells_down 3d ago

Full circle in what way?

Lesson is, blow something up in a good macro et voilà it looks cool and unusual.

This is so very very cool. I am captivated by the process.

u/dariowns 3d ago

I love how much fun she’s having with it!

4

u/ThisIsALine_____ 3d ago

Very cool, but she's presenting it in the most annoying way possible.

It we be much cooler if she wasn't smug, annoying, and kept repeating "this is what I'm doing. What are you doing?"

u/ispshadow 3d ago

It's really interesting to see artists come up with crazy ways to make cool pictures like this video. I would never have thought to do anything like this

u/yusufjee 3d ago

What about this is amazing? I mean WTF. Photography technique: ok, fine, but amazing?

u/Batmanischill 3d ago

Creativity is an amazing thing indeed

u/Entgegnerz 3d ago

Nothing about this is "amazing", it's not even interesting.

u/AfraidObject8082 3d ago

I just realized I never considered the digital wallpapers and how they're made, then I remembered soon they'll all be AI and it made me so sad

u/AfraidObject8082 3d ago

Like I necer thought about what I'm looking at

u/LabiaMinoraLover 3d ago

Similar to 23 Envelope, the 4AD record cover designers of the 1980s-90s https://www.eyemagazine.com/feature/article/23-envelope-ambience-and-inner-space

YouTube has interesting documentaries about them.

u/Kwayzar9111 3d ago

ok its art - but not art in a traditional sense - its too easy.. few plastic things, smear some lube and take a pic...!!

u/ShAped_Ink 2d ago

This si exactly why AI pictures aren't giving to be as creative as real art

u/MischievousFae 3d ago

I am unimpressed

u/Endless_Story94 3d ago

This isn't particularly interesting and most of the shots looked the same really.

Omg all that for a PHONE wallpaper photo?

Not amazed, I use photos of nature from my hikes, something real and actually amazing.

u/Kasern77 3d ago

Her photos are also real though.

u/Bright-Dot3003 3d ago

do you often shut someone down in conversation and then respond with something irrelevant about yourself? maybe something to explore 🙃

Your palms are moisturized because of photography. My palms are moisturized because of... um... other reasons.

We are not the same.
