Professional Photography Services for the 84th Venice Film Festival
September 01 – September 11, 2027 (Mostra Internazionale d’Arte Cinematografica)
I live and work in Venice year-round, and knowing the city and the Lido inside out makes all the difference during festival week. Throughout the year, I collaborate with private clients, publicists, and luxury brands for portraits and lifestyle images inside Venice’s most iconic hotels—including Hotel Danieli, Aman Venice, San Clemente Palace, Belmond Hotel Cipriani, The St. Regis, The Gritti Palace, and, of course, the legendary Hotel Excelsior on the Lido.
As an accredited red carpet and editorial photographer, I offer tailored portrait and behind-the-scenes photography sessions during the Venice International Film Festival. During these intense, glamorous days on the lagoon, I work with celebrities, actors, directors, brand ambassadors, and festival guests to create polished editorial portraits, sponsor suite lookbooks, and dynamic water-taxi arrival imagery.

Your Time at the Venice Film Festival, Beautifully Documented
Festival schedules move fast, and portrait windows between hair and makeup, press junkets, and red carpet call times are often tight. My experience covering the Venice Film Festival ensures we make every minute count—delivering magazine-quality portraits without ever delaying your boat transfer or premiere arrival.
While we can easily meet directly at the Hotel Excelsior on the Lido, I often recommend starting our session at your hotel in Venice during the final stages of hair and makeup styling. This gives us time to align on your creative brief, capture intimate behind-the-scenes preparation shots (perfect for showcasing jewelry, watches, and couture designer credits), and shoot classic portraits inside your hotel before stepping onto your private wooden water taxi across the lagoon to the Lido.
Tailored Festival Coverage Includes:
-
Luxury Hotel & On-Location Editorial Portraits: High-impact portraits inside historic Venetian suites, grand staircases, and quiet canalside docks.
-
Behind-the-Scenes “Getting Ready” Coverage: Candid, atmospheric documentation of your final styling moments before heading to the Red Carpet.
-
PR, Press & Brand Sponsor Imagery: Dedicated shots highlighting gowns, tuxedos, high jewelry, and brand activations for immediate press release and social media distribution.
-
Water Taxi Crossing & Hotel Excelsior Dock Arrivals: The signature Venice Film Festival sequence—cruising across the lagoon and stepping onto the famous pier at the Excelsior.
-
Red Carpet & Gala Event Coverage: Accredited photojournalistic and portrait coverage on the Lido and at private palazzo galas.
I speak fluent English, French, and Italian, work seamlessly alongside publicists and styling teams, and offer rapid same-day (or real-time FTP) image delivery for urgent press and social media needs.
