Artist Emulation - Amy Friend

The most obvious thing that the artist does to create those kinds of photographs is poking holes with a sharp object to shine a bright light through creating dispersed star-like lights. The artist also uses possibly family photos, or other found contemporary photographs to fit to the main theme of those images.

My Work

What I have done to achieve this copy is editing a family photo to fit the colours and I cropped the original image to look as close to the original as it could. I then cut holes through the image and shone a bright light through to create star-like lights coming through the holes in the most fitting place. I then altered the colours once again since the light changed the colours on the card paper.

Artist Emulation Plan - Amy Friend

I am planning to emulate the artist Amy Friend. Her work mainly features vintage personal or family photographs in black and white or sepia. Friend pins through the figures on the images letting light through by shining through the back of the created holes.

Things I'll need to sort out before hand: 

> Old photocopied family images
> A pin

Things to focus on:

> The size of the holes
> Amount of light
> Brightness of light
> Thickness of the paper

> A light source

> Self-taken images
