Elliott Erwitt in Venice

December 01, 2023/ Marco Secchi

Today, we bid farewell to a legendary eye behind the lens, Elliott Erwitt.

A man who captured life's serendipitous moments with wit, warmth, and a profound depth of humanity.

His photographs were conversations without words, often lighthearted, sometimes solemn, always deeply human.

I had the honour of photographing him few times. The last was in Venice in 2012, experiences I cherish profoundly.

His legacy will continue to inspire and resonate with us.

Rest in peace, Maestro of Monochrome.
