The photo represents the portrait of a magnificent venetian costume and mask dressed during the Venice carnival.
They’re handcrafted in a very few artesanal shops in Venice and delivered worldwide.
The photo itself was captured during the evening, right after the sunset, under the colonnade surrounding the San Marco square.
The hard part in capturing these masks and isolate them is the amount of people always around, looking for a photo, a selfie with them or simply admiring.
I looked for a low angle to be able to capture the whole dress and a wide open aperture for a shallow depth of field.
The photo edition represents the most suggestive part of the Venice carnival, the masks and costumes parading around its squares and narrow alleys.
Have visited the Venice carnival during the last ten editions, mainly for a photographic purpose, but also to enjoy the atmosphere, the colors, the lights.
During these years have tried to take different approaches to keep all fresh and not repetitive, exploring the feast in different ways and trying to show even the behind the scenes.
I’m still working on this last aspect, wanting to represent the artisans behind the costumes and masks, all the work needed to create these beautiful pieces.
Once the edition will be sold out, I’ll randomly pick a winner among the collectors and send a 1/1 portrait related to the Venice carnival.
