Andrea David is a blogger and avid traveler who’s been visiting iconic filming locations since 2004. She usually takes a printed picture from a movie and fits it inside the existing site. Her work is wonderfully coordinated and synchronized with real-life locations. She manages to bring memories back to people’s minds and give us a better view of the environments films were made.
At Bright Side, we thought we’d make a review of Andrea’s work since we admire it and believe you will too.
