Venice has to be one of the most photographed cities in the world.
Like many others before me I am constantly fascinated by visions of Venice, its history enveloped in every scene, the architecture and the atmosphere ever appealing and beckoning you back for more. It is a city I can always return to in anticipation of new images. The main tourist areas have been photographed so many times it is difficult to create something new, but beyond the water front are districts like Castello which have quiet canals and residential areas where the Venetians have lived for centuries. If I ever visit Venice again I will go in search of these places and try to capture more of the real or hidden Venice. For now I am still drawn to the predominant features which will always be Venice. I can only hope my photographs will do the city justice. As Claude Monet said when he visited Venice in 1908 :

"It is too beautiful to be painted! It is untranslatable!"

Burano is one of the most colourful islands in the Venetian Lagoon. It holds a deep fascination for me as a photographer, colourful images adorn every canalside street. Home to a community of fishermen, lace makers and artists it provides a community atmosphere where even the washing lines are a work of art. When photographing the colourful island of Burano I cannot resist capturing the myriad of reflections in the small canals as the colourful houses and Burano's famous washing lines are reflected in the waters.These rather abstract images of Burano are already proving popular as decor for homes, offices, restaurants and cafes.
