This Geeky Duo Has a Fresh Twist on Capturing Fandom's Iconic Filming Locations

In 2013, Tiia Öhman and Satu Walden of the Fangirl Quest embarked on an ambitious photography project with a single mission: to “visit filming locations of our favourite tv shows and movies and re-frame the scenes at the exact same locations where they were originally filmed.” The process, which they’ve since dubbed “sceneframing,” is a fresh iPad-driven spin on the classic photography practice.

And with the overwhelmingly positive reception the duo has received for their Sceneframing project, they’ve been able to make it an ongoing endeavor. Personally, I’d be a *lot* more jealous if I wasn’t so busy living vicariously through them and their pictures.
