Burano’s multi-colored, ultra-saturated, made-up face is well known. What is not known is the much less glamorous reality hidden behind that face: closed windows and doors, abandoned houses, crumbling walls. When I saw them, I knew this was the Burano I had to portray. Immediately, a muted color palette came to my mind; with that, the decision to use a Noctilux f/1 wide open for all the photographs, to add a sense of timeless magic to the images. @vieribottazzini
