The fish market close to the Rialto Bridge, Pescheria di Rialto, is one of Venice's most compelling locations for street photography because it offers something increasingly difficult to find in heavily touristed cities: a place where ordinary life still takes precedence over the visitor's experience.

Alongside the Grand Canal, beneath its historic arcades, the market is a working environment of fishmongers, buyers, delivery workers and local Venetians. It has an atmosphere that feels older than the city surrounding it: practical, physical, noisy and unapologetically real.

This is a small selection of images from my ongoing project in and around the pescheria. Day and night, winter and summer, this is a location which never disappoints. Whatever style of street photography - observational, aesthetic or documentary - the pescheria always delivers.
