It’s always amazing to mix two of your passions into one and share them with the rest of the world. That’s exactly what film and travel enthusiast Andrea David managed to do after she decided to start looking for the iconic filming locations around the world.
David embarked on this amazing journey after exploring the influence of cinema on tourist habits in her thesis. She liked it so much that she kept on traveling to different filming locations even after her theses was done, and she’s still doing it to this day.
After a while, she came to the conclusion it’s easier to ask locals for directions if she brings pictures along, and this was a real game-changer. She started taking photos that placed the iconic movie scenes in real life and managed to attract over half a million followers with her Instagram page filmtourismus.
Hard-core movie buffs now see her as a valuable source of inspiration, because they wouldn’t know where to look if it wasn’t for her. Her incredible photos blur the line between fantasy and fiction and prove that all the places we’ve seen on the silver screen aren’t out of reach.
