Black and white photographs have a classic appeal which stands the test of time. Learning to see and compose in black and white is a valuable skill; not all images work in black and white, and there is much more to creating a great image than adjusting the desaturation slider. Once we know how to find black-and-white pictures and acquire the camera skills to shoot them, we must know how to correctly develop the image on our computer.
Monochrome is also the perfect medium for creating stunning minimalist photos.
€900 is for a 10-hour private tour, and you can be up to 2 people (with or without a camera). Extra persons, up to a maximum of 4 in total €150 per person. It can usually be split into two or more days.

Marco Secchi accompanied us on the Sunrise photo walk- and what a wonderful experience it was! Marco, a renowned Getty photographer, is such a warm and kind individual. We learned so much from him. Marco loves sharing his knowledge not only about photography but about his hometown of Venice. It was truly the best way to capture the magic of the city. I left feeling more confident about my photography and also feeling as though we'd seen this iconic city with a friend. So grateful for this experience. Thank you Marco! (Tripadvisor)
I recently booked my wife a photo tour with Marco for her birthday. Marco was absolutely fantastic, he is such a nice person and a very attentive professional who made sure my wife got the best photographs as well as helpful advice. This was certainly worth the money and the highlight of our visit to Venice. If you are interested in improving your photos and getting an insight into Venice then a tour with Marco Secchi is amazing value. (Tripadvisor)
This was definitely the highlight of our week in Venice. Marco is friendly informative and inspiring. A must! (Tripadvisor)
At last we've found the hidden treasure of Venice. My wife and I have been here many times and think we know its main delights.
But only recently have we found the internationally renowned photographer Marco Secchi who leads photographic-cum-walking tours of this wonderful city. (Tripadvisor)My wife, my 15-year old son and I spent 3 fabulous hours with Marco. He is the most delightful man whose good company was pleasure enough. However, he brought an added dimension to an incredible city. We took numerous photos, benefitting from his deep local knowledge and advice on composition. (Tripadvisor)
My workshops have not only been loved by clients but have also been featured in renowned publications for their unique and impactful approach.
