Charming Burano

Burano is a Venetian island full of colourful fisherman’s houses and quaint little shops. It is a short ferry trip away from Venice, but a world away in its aesthetic. The residents clearly take a lot of pride in their homes: every faccade (which originates from an Italian word - facciata -, by the way!) is uniquely decorated to suit the owner’s preferences. Burano is also much quieter than the mainland city, providing a perfect escape in the busy summer months.

A Sleepy Umbrian Town

From all the places I’ve ever been, Italy was definitely one of my favourites. The food, the views, the architecture, and the culture of this country are all incredible and like nowhere else in the world. Back then I used to photograph with my first ever DSLR camera, my trusty crop-format Canon 7D. Even so, I still like many of my images from Assisi, a little town in the region of Umbria surrounded by beautiful countryside.
