Explore the Heart of Tuscany: Arezzo, Chianti, and Montevarchi
Join us as we venture deeper into Tuscany, exploring Arezzo's serene beauty and hidden tales, the vibrant landscapes of Chianti, and the quiet charm of Montevarchi. These regions, each with its unique character and history, provide the perfect backdrop for photographers looking to capture the essence of Italy's storied countryside.
Arezzo: A Medieval Masterpiece
Nestled among the rolling hills of Tuscany, Arezzo offers a journey back in time. With its medieval towers, Renaissance artwork, and ancient churches, the city is a living museum waiting to be captured through your lens. Our workshops here will focus on architectural photography, exploring how light plays with the structures and textures of this historic city. From the Piazza Grande, adorned with its frescoed facades, to the tranquil beauty of the Church of San Francesco, Arezzo is a treasure trove of photographic moments.
Chianti: A Symphony in Green and Gold
Chianti is synonymous with breathtaking landscapes and the art of winemaking. As we traverse this region, you’ll learn to capture the essence of Chianti's ever-changing vistas, from the verdant vineyards that stretch across the hills to the ancient stone villages that dot the landscape. We will focus on landscape photography, teaching you to convey the story of Chianti’s deep-rooted connection to the land and its people through your images. The golden hour brings magic to the vineyards, offering moments of pure photographic bliss.
Montevarchi: The Soul of the Valdarno
Montevarchi, a hidden gem in the Valdarno valley, offers a quieter yet equally rich tapestry for photographers. This town combines the beauty of natural landscapes with the charm of Tuscan urban life. Here, our workshops will dive into the nuances of street and lifestyle photography, capturing daily life against a backdrop of historic architecture and natural beauty. From the vibrant market scenes to the peaceful riverbanks, Montevarchi provides a canvas for stories waiting to be told through your lens.

Ten Hours Black and White Workshop: a sightseeing for photographers!
One day for a Fine Art - Monochrome photography workshop. Learn to see in Black & White. You can be sure to have the best time ever.
Black-and-white photographs have a classic appeal that 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.
Check some of the previous reviews when I was on Tripadvisor:
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)
