Gondolas in Venice

Gondolas in Venice – photographs of moorings, boats and reflections
I dedicate this album to gondolas moored along Venetian waterfronts. Black hulls, colourful covers and wooden posts form repeated arrangements on the greenish water. Palace façades along the Grand Canal, churches and distant bell towers appear in the background, keeping the boats part of the urban landscape.
When photographing gondolas, I focused on their shapes and the rhythm of the moorings. Sometimes I chose a single boat between landing stages, at other times a row of hulls and tall posts. Reflections on the rippling water change the character of these compositions. Alongside colour photographs, I also present a black-and-white frame in which lines and contrast play a greater role.
I took the photographs with a Canon EOS R6 Mark II, and you will find their settings in the EXIF data. This is a quieter part of my view of Venice: not an account of a boat trip, but an observation of boats waiting by the shore and the architecture visible above them.
