Venice: Beyond the Icon

- The book showcases lesser-known areas of Venice, providing a glimpse into the daily lives of Venetian residents - Merizalde's long-exposure photography creates mesmerizing images of the Venetian lagoon and cityscapes - Merizalde's photographs capture the true essence of Venice, its history, culture, and beauty Alejandro Merizalde began photographing in Venice in 2008. In his early visits he found the city stiflingly overcrowded, but during a brief winter trip a few years later, the overcast skies and foggy atmosphere allowed him to draw out Venice's legendary beauty without the disruptions of mass tourism. In 2013 he started experimenting with longer exposures to eliminate the distractions of human activity and enable him to concentrate on his architectural compositions. This shift in approach was gradual, but it helped him realize that he was no longer interested in recording iconic features like St Mark's Basilica, the Bridge of Sighs and the gondola, to name a few. From then on, he dropped the predictable locations and buildings and trained his lens on the Venice lagoon and areas of the city where Venetians actually spend their lives. Text in English, French and Italian.
