Stunning photographs on lightboxes by Daniele Buetti. The results with small lights really make each image eye-catching and contemporary. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to find more information about the technique.

Alex de CampiAdriana – I think the “lights” are made by punching small holes in photographic prints, then putting them over a lightbox so the lights shine through the holes. There’s later manipulation in Photoshop too, probably – colouring the lights, or keying out backgrounds to layer one colour of lights on top of another. It’s a lovely technique, though – so obvious but so new.
