Peter Fraser Photographs Venice for Bottega Veneta
Welsh photographer Peter Fraser has created a 27-image series for Bottega Veneta, capturing Venice's marble floors, canals, construction cranes, plaster casts, and beached boats alongside the house's intrecciato bags from Louise Trotter's first collection. The project nods to Bottega Veneta's long history in the Veneto region. Fraser, a contemporary of Martin Parr who studied at university in Manchester in the 1970s and later lived with William Eggleston in Memphis for seven weeks, describes his approach as bringing a 'mental blank canvas' and seeking the 'shock of the new.' He has previously photographed in Palermo, Naples, Matera, Bari, and Lecce. The series is published by CULTURED magazine.
