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.

Timeless Venice through my Leica lens 🎞️✨ Gondoliers skillfully navigate the narrow and busy canals, a perfect dance of tradition and modernity. I captured the image in black and white to preserve the story in its purest form. #ShotOnLeica #VenetianVibes #monochrome #blackandwhite #leica @leica_camera_italia @leica_camera

A gondolier stands quietly in his still gondola as the harsh morning light, diffused by the mist over Venice’s canals, creates an atmospheric and timeless scene. #Venice #Gondola #MistyMorning #HarshLight #CanalLife #TravelPhotography #ItalianCharm #HistoricCity #QuietMoments #BlackAndWhitePhotography #leica

Captured on my Leica M6, this photograph stills a moment in one of Venice’s most secluded corners—an intimate hideaway untouched by the city’s usual bustle. Here, I sometimes like to sit quietly, allowing the gentle hush of old stone walls and the distant murmur of soft footsteps to wash over me. In this secret enclave, no matter the weight I carry, something in the quiet air—perhaps a whisper drifting through ancient alleyways or the warm glow settling over timeworn facades—always guides my troubles into a calm surrender.
