Masks at a sunrise shoot, Venice Carnevale, 5 Feb 2024
It takes dedication and a fair amount of insanity to leave a warm, comfortable bed and room at 0630 on a Sunday morning to take part in a Carnevale sunrise shoot. Walking through dark alleys in Venice doesn’t worry me at all. It’s a magical feeling as long as you don’t step on dog poop. History all around me, it is something I never tire of and can’t explain it. 15 minutes later I’m at the shooting site along the Grand Canal, almost an hour before sunrise … and the place is packed with hundreds of models, photographers, and visitors. Don’t these people have a life? My respect and admiration for the models jumped. It takes some of them 2-3 hours to get ready. That is dedication. Here are some IPhone photos from this morning’s shenanigans. Chances are I’ll do it again tomorrow morning, only because my favorite bakery will be open on the way back to my flat. Enjoy!
