Grand Canal at dawn — Venice, Italy

Venice, Italy · 9 – 12 December 2023

Venice in winter

Venice in December, with fog, silence and canals at dawn: a city that only lets you photograph it early.

The story

How it went

You photograph Venice at dawn or not at all: before seven the canals are empty, the fog hangs low and the palaces seem to float. I spent three mornings between the Grand Canal and the lagoon, as far as Burano, avoiding the crowds and chasing reflections. On the last day I took a couple’s portrait with a bridge in the background: no poses, just footsteps.
