Photography Workshop in Ljubljana and Bled

Led by internationally awarded Getty Images photographer Marco Secchi, these exclusive private photography workshops in Slovenia are designed for photographers of all levels—whether you're a curious beginner, a passionate enthusiast, or an experienced shooter looking to sharpen your eye and expand your vision.

From the urban charm of Ljubljana to the ethereal beauty of Bled at sunrise, from monochrome artistry to multi-day storytelling journeys across the Slovenian countryside—this is photography with purpose, precision, and soul.

📷 What You'll Learn

Across all workshops, I provide hands-on, tailored instruction covering:

  • Focus zones & focusing modes (Auto, Single, Tracking)

  • Understanding and mastering depth of field

  • Camera modes: when and why to use Auto, Aperture/Shutter Priority, or Manual

  • Flash & Fill Lighting, Exposure & Flash Compensation

  • Composition, cropping, lines, parallax, and negative space

  • Light: direction, quality, and use of natural light

  • Exposure techniques: silhouettes, low-light, creative exposure

Every workshop is designed to help you see differently, think photographically, and create images with intention.
