Artwork description:

I took a number of long exposure shots during my trip using a tripod and neutral density filters. When I work with water, I often like to experiment with the exposure to smooth out textures, and knowing I would be surrounded by canals, Venice provided a perfect setting to get creative.

Vibrant Venice is my favourite daytime shot because the technique has really emphasised the beautiful cloud patterns drifting over the water. The movement in the sky is balanced by the vibrant reflections in the canal which, thanks
to the long exposure, have developed into a smooth sheen that looks spectacular.
I love the micro and macro elements of this image, from the focus and clarity of detail in the buildings, to the expansive surroundings that accentuate the bend and movement of the scene. The dual nature of this photograph holds the eye for much longer, which as a professional photographer is one of my main objectives
in my work.
