Elliott Erwitt in Venice

December 01, 2023/ Marco Secchi

Today, we bid farewell to a legendary eye behind the lens, Elliott Erwitt.

A man who captured life's serendipitous moments with wit, warmth, and a profound depth of humanity.

His photographs were conversations without words, often lighthearted, sometimes solemn, always deeply human.

I had the honour of photographing him few times. The last was in Venice in 2012, experiences I cherish profoundly.

His legacy will continue to inspire and resonate with us.

Rest in peace, Maestro of Monochrome.

Amidst the Serene Canals: The Sleek Curvature of Venetian Elegance Meets the Verdant Tapestry of Nature. A Gondola, Symbol of La Serenissima, Pauses in Reflection, its Ferro Standing Proud Against the Dance of Light on Water

This tranquil scene captured in the Dorsoduro area of Venice exudes the timeless charm of La Serenissima. The warm sunlight filters through the lush green leaves, casting a lacework of shadows on the cobblestone piazza. A row of vermilion buildings, adorned with flower boxes bursting with yellow blooms, lines the square, their tall windows reflecting the day's azure sky. Painted red benches invite passersby to rest and soak in the tranquillity of this Venetian retreat, far from the bustling canals and tourist paths. It’s a moment of everyday beauty framed by this enchanting city's historic architecture and serene natural elements.\ #venice #photography #workshop #marcosecchi

Whispers of tradition echo along the canals of Venice at the historic Squero di San Trovaso, where the art of gondola craftsmanship sails through time. 🛠️🚣‍♂️ I took this photograph a few days ago during a private 2-day photography masterclass here in Venice #Venice #SqueroDiSanTrovaso #GondolaBuilding #ItalianTradition #CanalLife #VenetianCraftsmanship #Gondola #TravelItaly #ExploreVenice #Waterways #CulturalHeritage
