FACES OF VENICE


The Faces of Venice series was not planned at all and implemented with a team of 10 people in the year 2017 in Venice/Italy. Several one-shot stagings were created during 3 different weekends full of spontaneous acting, good times and a lot of craziness.

Faces of Venice is a mixture of modern photography, live performance in front of an audience and digital painting. We used the body language of our models, the overall composition of the group, colour psychology, tailor-made costumes, real locations, detailed accessories, digital post-production and modern printing techniques.
