DOORS OF VENICE, Views of a Vanishing City by Greg Miller showcases the fascinating, historical and threatened doors unique to Venice. Through their details, patinas, colors, hardware and textures, these doors tell a compelling story of the current and past residents of the enchanting City of Canals.

A visit to Venice, a city with no cars, allows you to envision yourself back in time several hundred years ago, with traces of storied history on display wherever you look. During a rare moment when tourism lulled due to the pandemic, photographer Greg Miller took advantage of the Venice’s quiet streets to capture images that go beyond the expected views of the floating city.

Miller’s long-exposure images focus on Venice’s doors, uncovering the stories they reveal about the city’s past residents and its vanishing culture. Readers can luxuriate in the intricate details of the centuries-old doors that are captured on these pages. From the quality of the wood, to the patinas and colors, to the antique hardware and ornate architectural components, the wonders of these portals to the past are on full display.

Since Venice’s future is uncertain due to rising sea levels and increased tourism, Greg Miller’s photographic quest to capture its ancient doors serves as a visual preservation of these amazing portals. His sumptuous images (200 of them) present a rare opportunity to appreciate the beauty and significance of these alluring Venetian gems before they potentially disappear forever.
