Light shining through photography inspired by Amy Friend.

I looked at an artist called Amy Friend. She takes photographs of places, people and objects and with a pin she pierces small hole through the image, so the holes concentrate on something within the image (in this case people) and then with a torch she will shine light through the back of the image so the holes would light up. Her pin holes do not exactly follow the outline of the image they are varied but I like this effect as it allows you to focus on other things.
 I selected a landscape image and decided I would pierce holes through the windows of the buildings so it looked like the sun was reflecting off the glass.
I enjoyed doing this experiment as it was easy and if done like Amy's it looks effective but next time I think I would chose a different image and pierce the holes in varied places rather then in obvious places.
