Snow in Ljubljana

January 18, 2019/ Marco Secchi

Today Ljubljana woke up under a blanket of snow that gave to the city a more magical twist.

One of the BestTours on Tripadvisor. Photo Workshop. Have you ever walked on the streets and saw a moment that you wanted to capture, but you were too scared to take the photograph? Do you want to become more confident shooting in the streets and learn how to better interact with your subjects?

Venice was barely awake. Fog had swallowed the far end of Piazza San Marco, the cafés were still closed, and their empty chairs waited beneath folded umbrellas. Then a solitary walker and a small dog entered the frame, giving scale to the silence. Winter is when Venice often speaks most quietly. Familiar landmarks recede and the photograph becomes about rhythm, distance and the few details the mist allows us to keep. Photographed with the Leica M11. This slower way of seeing is part of what we explore during my Venice photography workshops. If you would like to photograph the city beyond its familiar views, send me a DM for details and availability. #VenicePhotography #LeicaM11 #LeicaPhotography #StreetPhotography #photographyworkshop

Prague unfolding in layers: terracotta roofs in the foreground, the Vltava carrying the eye through the city, bridges marking the distance, and a sudden flight of birds bringing movement to the open sky. This is what I enjoy about photographing a city from above. The viewpoint gives you scale, but the photograph still depends on small relationships: the repetition of rooftops, the curve of the river, the separation between foreground and distance, and the brief moment when something unexpected enters the frame. The birds were there for only a few seconds, but they changed the photograph completely. Good travel photography is rarely about recording everything in front of you. It is about recognising the elements that matter and arranging them into a coherent frame. This is also the approach at the heart of my photography workshops in Venice, Budapest and Milan. We work on observation, composition and visual storytelling, learning how to move beyond attractive views and make photographs with structure, atmosphere and a clear point of view. Workshop details are available through the link in my bio. #prague #photographyworkshop #leica @leicaboutiqueprague #czechrepublic🇨🇿

Budapest after rain, when the city seems to hold the light a little longer. A tram crosses Liberty Bridge, dissolving into blue and red streaks as the wet rails pull the eye toward Buda. For a few seconds, the traffic, the river and the night fall into the same rhythm. The tram disappears, but its colour remains suspended across the frame, turning an ordinary crossing into something close to magic. Photographed with #Leica in #Budapest, #Hungary.

Motovun and Istria still on my mind, fog in the valley, cypress trees waiting for light. Some mornings stay with you long after you've left them. @istr__a_more #istria #croazia #photography #workshops

A few more days of holiday at home, then I’ll be in Venice for a month packed with photography workshops. Several of those days will take me to Burano, where even I have little argument with colour. I’m hoping to see my two friends there again: one black cat and one white cat. I’ll also make time for a visit to @ninfea_burano my favourite cafe and pastry! Burano is always worth slowing down for, especially when you think you already know it. #burano #venice #photography #workshops

At the Nagyrév ferry crossing, the boat waits at the riverbank. A komp nem üzemel. The ferry is not operating. The crossing has stopped, but the Tisza continues on its way. #Nagyrév #Tisza #akompnemuzemel #Hungary #DocumentaryPhotography #MarcoSecchi
