Imagine Venice.
Now imagine it bathed in the soft, untouched glow of dawn, with San Marco Square entirely to yourself. This isn’t a dream – it’s the reality of an early morning photo shoot in Venice, and it’s pure magic, as Thao discovered
When Thao contacted me on instagram with photoshoot request, from her profile i cold see she is well traveled.
But not only this, she is also passionated about photography and brings photo souvenirs on every occasion.
She asked if i’m available for photos on a sunrise which is my favourite time to shoot.
In other words – I couldn’t wait to meet her!
Of course in summertime to catch a sunrise it means waking up at 5 AM or even earlier!
But its totally worth it! San Marco at the sunrise photo shot is a pure magic! No people no hustle just beauty.
We met at gondola docks in front of Doge Palace.
She was wearing red dress and brought a straw hat as an accessory.
As the sun was rising and changing colours to pink, we took some fantastic photos and i also filmed some videos.
She fearlessly sat on bridge railing with view on Famous Bridge of sighs.
And after some more photographs at the square we continued our way to Rialto Bridge.
We had so much fun covering some of the most instagramable spots in Venice.
I hope to see her again in Venice!
