Beauty against the Austere

Iced Over

When I visited Venice for a study trip last year, we arrived when it had iced over for the first time in 20 years. When leaving the airport, we boarded a water taxi to take us to our next destination. The area around us was cloaked under one giant sheet of thin ice. 

Venice, Like any Other

Venice has ugly sites to see as well as beautiful. This image shows that it is not all beautiful as brochures portray it. The works in the background really contrast the angelic state associated with Venice.

A Day in Venice

A bright day in Venice, photographed from water taxi. I enhanced the blue in this image in photoshop. I feel the bright colour brings it to life. My favourite thing about this image is the small border of Venice. 

If You Need It

Love; take it if you need it. Venice, Italy. For this image I increased the contrast but lowered the vibrancy a touch. I wanted the bricks to be just as part of the picture as the note, so instead of making it black and white like I had originally planned, I raised the vibrancy and lowered the contrast. This gives the bricks a hint of colour and a soft tone.
