Venice: Into the Geometry

Photographic Workshop and Walk: 15 March 2026

A personalised and exclusive photographic workshop and walk focussing on the 'street geometry of Venice', followed by discussion and feedback. Join us, Andy Parker and Luca Primavesi (www.primavesi.it) for a day of photography and instruction! With over 15 years experience shooting in and around Venice, we can reveal the real Venice away from the tourist hotspots.

Explore hidden corners of Venice and develop skills in composition that tap into Gestalt Theory and go beyond 'leading lines' and the 'rule of thirds'.

A follow up to the success of 'Venice Street Geometry' photography exhibition held in Venice at the Kunst Depot Venezia in 2025, the workshop and walk leads you through the skills and practice of reading the light and shadow, using existing street architecture and choosing the correct vantage point to capture shots that are unique and timeless.

All welcome! We speak English, Italian and French, but communicate in photography... just bring along your mobile phone, mirrorless or DSLR, and above all your passion for the medium!

Limited spaces available! For more information about prices, dates and availability, please email info@monochromevenice.com

Shadow Play

A Midwinter's Tale

A Happy New Year to you! I hope 2026 treats you well.

Here are a few recent shots to kick off the new year. As the sun set across the Bacino San Marco, characters appeared on the walls, reminiscent of performers on the stage of a shadow play.

Also stay tuned for some more details about photo walks coming up throughout the year. The next walk at the end of January is now fully booked, but I plan to run more on selected weekends, the walks are personalised, exclusive experiences for individuals and small groups.

EXHIBITION: BIENNALE PEOPLE

Watching the watchers

‘Biennale People’ is a light-hearted, and at times humorous, street photography project and exhibition focussing on the public attending the art and architecture Biennale events in Venice from 2011 to 2025.   'Biennale People' seeks out characters, behaviours and reactions of people immersed among the artworks, caught in moments of distraction, respite or contemplation.

Featuring over 30 black and white prints, the exhibition runs from 25th October to 9th November 2025 at the Kunst Depot Venezia exhibition space in Venice (www.veneziakunstdepot.com). The event also includes a selection of high-quality photographic prints on sale.

Save the date and I look forward to seeing some of you there! For more information, please contact me directly or look out for more posts soon. AP.
