Voga Alla Veneta
Using a monochrome palette, simplified compositions and often long exposure to slow down the passing of time and isolate elements within the frame, her images eradicate the superfluous, creating an interval of time and space which the viewer can fill with their own meaning.

entry description
The people of Venice and the islands of the lagoon have adapted over centuries to living with the sea. The style of rowing known as 'voga alla Veneta' (Venetian rowing), in which the rowers stand, is unique to the lagoon. Despite a thick winter fog, these residents of Burano train for the annual Vogalonga - the Summer rowing regatta.about the photographer
Lisa Katsiaris was born and raised in the south of England but travels frequently to produce fine art images that reflect the tranquil and often fragile beauty of the places she seeks out. The common threads that run through her work are a feeling of serenity and introspection, an ability to see beauty in the often ordinary and imperfect, and a desire to capture her emotional response to, rather than a literal representation of, the world around her.Using a monochrome palette, simplified compositions and often long exposure to slow down the passing of time and isolate elements within the frame, her images eradicate the superfluous, creating an interval of time and space which the viewer can fill with their own meaning.
