Clowning Around
With such vibrant costumes, I couldn’t resist adding some confetti to complete the feeling of the
festival.
A Kiss and A Mime
Mimes have also played a part alongside the masks in celebration of Carnevale. I savored the romance this man was able to emote with his painted face..
Frog Prince
Many costumes are so intricate that it’s easy to miss the detail. I was drawn to this costume
because it tells a story..
Another Time, Another Place
The formal backdrop of the Doge’s Palace contrasts with this flowing, joyful harlequin costume.
The Price of Mystery
Venice invites everyone to participate in
Carnevale. Select your mood, your color scheme...and your budget.
Coming Out of the Shadows
Venice’s labyrinthine alleys add to the city’s charm. Being in the right place allowed me to capture this costume emerging from a darkened alley.
Feel the Emotion
Sometimes, the mask is not the whole story. This person’s ability to strike a compelling pose
created the full mood.
A Court of Jesters
Venice is a maze of islands, canals and pathways. Turning each corner brought new sights and, here, a piazza filled with harlequins and jesters.
Allure of the Mask
The masks of Carnevale allow participants to preserve their anonymity, causing the secrets, beauty and mysteries to draw you in.
Beauty Behind the Mask
I captured this private moment in a 15th
century palace, as the reveler stepped away from the crowd.
Alone in Piazza San Marco
The light was beginning to break onto Piazza San Marco as this lone costume took her place and created this magical moment.
Dazzling in Red
The spectacle of Carnevale was breathtaking. This particular costume included rubies, silver
and lace, but it was her eyes that captivated me.
