威尼斯和她的环礁湖

The photos date from...
1970 to 1990.
Serge Bassenko spent 20 years shooting Venice and its lagoon. For love. His pictures show the moving and inner Venice of the Venetians at the time: quiet winding alleys, small canals only accessible by boat, the wild and solitary lagoon, deep night gently illuminated by mysterious lanterns...

The photos were shot...
on traditional films and the cameras used were 1930 Zeiss Contax 1 and their marvelous handmade Zeiss Jena 50 mm lenses. There are neither fakes, filters nor color alterations. The shooting conditions were often difficult: by night, in rain, fog, freeze and frost... "I tried to photograph the soul of Venice."
