Winter slows everything down in rural Hungary. Snow softens the noise, simplifies the lines, and suddenly the world feels honest again. This is a small monochrome glimpse, shot with Leica cameras, from village roads, quiet yards, horse-drawn carriages, breath in the cold air. No drama, no spectacle. Just winter doing what winter does best. The image here is one from my Getty selection, but the full gallery goes a bit deeper. More frames, more silence, more pauses. If you feel like stepping away from colour, speed, and constant movement for a minute, the full set is here: 👉 https://www.marcosecchi.org/gallery/Winter-in-Rural-Hungary/G0000LVQmmpIMFSM Black and white feels right in winter. Less information, more feeling.

Snow, silence, a slow rhythm of hooves. Not a spectacle, just everyday life moving at its own pace. These are the moments travel photography is really about.

Oh yes, you can catch it 😄 Venice is playing tricks again. A red gondola slicing through blue water, seagulls causing chaos, and snow-covered mountains quietly stealing the background. Not the postcard angle. Still 100% Venice. Shot with Leica, because subtle drama deserves good glass 📷 . #venice #leica #photographyworkshop #marcosecchi @leica_camera @leicauk @leica_camera_italia

Snow settles on the Danube banks, quiet and unhurried. Cold air, slow water, a palette pulled from memory rather than weather. Shot with a Leica, finished gently in DxO PhotoLab with a Fuji ASTIA 100 mood, because winter does not shout, it whispers. Sometimes the scene does all the talking. ❄️📷

Blue hour lessons, Venetian edition. We waited, talked less, watched the light change, then clicked once. A Leica, a quiet archway, chairs still asleep, gondolas breathing slowly. Workshops are not about chasing spots. They are about recognising when the city is ready for you. Venice always whispers first. 📷✨
