📸 Discover Milan Through a Photographer’s Eye
Milan isn’t just a city — it’s a conversation between architecture, light, people, and rhythm. In these private, carefully designed photography workshops, you’ll go beyond the surface and engage with the city on a deeper visual level. Whether you’re drawn to storytelling, street style, or the quiet poetry of black and white, each workshop is a crafted experience that blends photographic practice with personal insight.
Led by Marco Secchi — Getty photographer, Leica shooter, and visual storyteller — or by a handpicked assistant, these sessions are for those who seek more than snapshots. You’ll walk, observe, compose, and connect with Milan as only a photographer can.
📍 The Milan Narrative – Visual Storytelling Masterclass
Private – 1-to-1 or Small Group (Max 2) | Full Day or 2-Day Option

Milan is a city of stories hidden in plain sight — from sleek skyscrapers to quiet courtyards, from the energy of Porta Venezia to the faded grandeur of Brera. This masterclass is designed for photographers who want to go beyond pretty frames and dig into the soul of a city. We'll focus on visual storytelling, scene-building, layering, and light — with plenty of moments for critique, editing tips, and shooting with purpose.
We’ll walk through different neighbourhoods, each with its own voice, and explore how to build compelling sequences and standalone images with narrative weight. This workshop is tailored to your experience level and gear — from Leica M to mirrorless systems.

– Full-day guided session with Marco or a selected assistant
– Visual storytelling techniques in practice
– Photo critique and sequence development
