Some of the people I was able to capture during the Venice Carnival of 2024. The event takes place in February, I was there in the beginning of the month for a couple of rainy days. Sadly not many people were out during my stay but I would like to thank all the great participants who braved the bad weather and made once again this festival a magical event for me and thousands of other spectators! Hope you enjoy the images and see you next year!
