Revisiting: The Spots Everyone Misses in Venice

Digging back through the archive today and pulling this one forward — one of my favourite pieces to have written, and still one of the most useful for anyone heading to Venice with a camera.

Everyone shoots the Rialto. Everyone shoots San Marco at sunrise. And there's nothing wrong with that — those places are iconic for a reason. But Venice rewards the photographers who wander past the obvious, who turn down the quiet calle instead of following the crowd toward the next postcard.

This post is my honest list of the corners, courtyards, and overlooked angles where the city actually opens up — the spots I keep returning to with workshop students, and the ones that consistently produce frames worth keeping.
