Following viewing the Ronis exhibition I took some photographs around Venice and tried to emulate the style and spirit of some of those I had seen in the exhibition.
In addition to the images I have shown in my account of my visit to the exhibition there were some images of Venice taken by Ronis. These and his images of the people of Paris influenced my selection of subjects.
I tried a number of images of people in the street – particularly the gondoliers who were in their winter clothes of thick jackets!
As well as these, Ronis’s sense of social justice inspired these images highlighting social inequality in this city.
The glamour was highlighted by a video shoot
The last of my images I include has a similar silhouette effect to this one by Ronis
Again taken with the light on the water providing a marked silhouette.
I may use this image as a link to the Decisive Moment assignment – as every time he places his foot on the deck of a wet and moving gondola is a decisive moment!
