“Portraits of the Masked”


After the start of every new year, in Venice, Italy, the whole city turns into festivals and parties. This where the rich and the poor, the normal and the strange, and the pious and the adventurous come and play regardless of labels. Since the Renaissance period, all over the city are the masked and the costumed, identities unknown. This series is portraits of those masked. Taken from the Carnivale Festival in 2013.
