Naviglio Grande Milan Black and White Canvas Print

Navigli is a charming, historic, canal filled neighbourghood in Milan, Italy. In the evening, the banks of the Naviglio Grande overflow with life as revellers from all over the city flock here to enjoy a tipple or two in the most atmospheric of surroundings. You are spoilt for choice as you pass bar after bar, restaurant after restaurant, each offering their own style of temptation. All tastes are catered for and you are sure to find something to enjoy at your leisure whilst savouring the ambience of this heady haven which is comfortably hidden away from the hustle and bustle of the metropolis. I hand blended textures with my original photograph in black and white to compliment the old world feel of this classic Italian street scene.

I'm a travel photographer and photo artist. I like to explore every nook and cranny of anywhere I visit and I'm always looking out for something unusual or unique, weird and wonderful, interesting and intriguing. For me, half the challenge is in the initial taking of the photo, the looking for something that catches my attention, getting that perfect composition, but the other half is in the processing, the tweaking and twisting and the addition of a little imagination to see how much detail I can bring to the surface and hopefully let the viewer see the same as I did when I took the shot. My images have been shot here, there and everywhere, mainly in the historic cities of Europe and with the occasional one taken in my own surroundings...
