Venezia, Carnival at dawn

Posted on by Geoffroy Schied

After missing Carnival by a few hours in Treviso, being so close to Venezia, I couldn’t resist a short trip to the Serenissima.

I had only a few hours from dawn, and despite the bleak mid winter light, I wasn’t disappointed.

What seemed like a sleepy winter morning quickly revealed some early birds on the other end of town, at piazza San Marco. Where else?!

I am a Munich based photographer, specializing in music and portrait photography. Since the mid 90’s I spend a big part of my life on tour, with orchestras performing all over the world. As a founding member of the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, sharing the stage with others allows me to get close, and my images offer unusual perspectives, in performance or backstage. I aspire to share intimate moments and bring you closer to artists as they journey towards their performances.
