📸 Who I Am
Ciao — I’m Marco Secchi, a Venice-born visual storyteller and Getty Images photographer. I’ve dedicated my life to capturing the world through the lens of black-and-white photography, blending the raw honesty of documentary with the poetry of light and moment.
From war zones to wedding gondolas, from heads of state to humble artisans, I’ve worked across genres and continents — but I always come back to the power of a good story told simply, with a camera.
🎯 What I Do
Private Photography Workshops in Venice, Budapest, Ljubljana, Milan, and London — for all levels, 1-to-1.
Vow Renewal & Portrait Sessions — unforgettable experiences in Venice.
Editorial & Commercial Assignments — across Europe.
Storytelling & Black-and-White Masterclasses
Social Media Visual Strategy & Consulting
🧭 My Approach
I shoot with Leica and Fujifilm, both digital and analog. For me, gear is just a tool — the real work is seeing. I use 28mm–35mm lenses for most street and storytelling work, and I aim for honesty over perfection.
While I enjoy social media and use it to connect and inspire, I don’t chase trends. My goal is to help people slow down, see, and create something timeless.
🎓 A Few FAQs
When did you start photography?
At 10 years old, with a Kodak Instamatic. My first real camera was a Leica M3 from my parents — and I still use it.
Do you shoot film?
Yes. While most of my professional work is digital, film remains part of my personal projects.
Do you edit your photos?
Only minimally for editorial work. I believe in honest, story-driven images.
Do you stage photos?
Never for editorial work. For commercial or portrait sessions, yes — with intent and style.
Are your workshops for beginners or pros?
Both. Whether you shoot with a Leica or a phone, we focus on what you need: composition, rhythm, storytelling, or vision.
