“ Taken during the Venice Carnival , I was drawn to this woman ’ s beautiful costume and love the line created with the green on the dress ( with the black background ). Shooting it with gondolas behind makes the photo instantly recognizable as Venice . I have photographed a number of carnivals and festivals around the world over many years , and they are included in my self-published photo coffee table book : ‘ Festivus Maximus : The biggest and most beautiful of the World ’ s Top Festivals and Carnivals ,” he said .
