đź“· Workshop Options
🕰️ 4-Hour Twilight & Sunrise
Watch Budapest awaken under the first light. We start before dawn to capture the quiet beauty of the Danube, the Parliament reflected in the still water, and Fisherman’s Bastion glowing in soft morning tones. As the sun rises, the city slowly comes alive — trams, bridges, and early movement become part of your composition.
Focus: Early light, golden tones, quiet streets, reflections, atmospheric storytelling.
Ideal for: Photographers who love calm, precision, and subtle light transitions.
€550 for up to 2 people
🌇 Sunset, Twilight & Night Photography
Experience Budapest’s transformation from golden hour to the glittering night. We shoot from viewpoints such as the Chain Bridge, Castle Hill, and Gellért Hill, where the lights of trams and cars trace the city’s rhythm. You’ll learn long exposure, balance between ambient and artificial light, and creative composition after dark.
Focus: Golden hour, blue hour, night glow, long exposure, dynamic scenes.
Ideal for: Photographers who enjoy colour, motion, and the energy of the city after sunset.
🌄 6-Hour Photo Walk
A personalised walk through Budapest’s hidden corners and iconic views. Includes a break to review shots and discuss technique.
€600 for 6h
Max 2 people
🎞️ Black & White & Street Photography
Discover Budapest in shades of light and shadow. Learn to see in monochrome — focusing on form, contrast, and emotion rather than colour. We explore streets, courtyards, and classic architecture where texture and light take centre stage. You’ll learn how to craft powerful compositions, use light directionally, and refine your black and white processing for timeless results.
Focus: Visual storytelling, tonal control, composition, and BW post-production.
Ideal for: Photographers who want to strengthen their vision and develop a distinctive style.
€800 for 8h
Max 2 people
🏆 2 or 3-Day Masterclass: Budapest in Focus
A deep dive into creative and editorial photography with Marco Secchi.
Day 1: Foundation and Calibration
We begin by establishing a strong technical and visual foundation. This includes refining your understanding of light, exposure, composition, and camera control, along with practical use of filters, focus, and long exposures where appropriate. The aim is to build confidence and precision, allowing you to work with clarity and intent.
Day 2: Developing Visual Intent
The second day moves beyond technical execution and focuses on interpretation. We explore how to recognise structure, anticipate moments, and create photographs with purpose rather than reaction. Throughout the day, there is continuous dialogue, feedback, and refinement based on what you produce, helping strengthen both consistency and direction.
Optional Day 3: Extension and Exploration
A third day can be added to deepen the experience. This may be spent continuing to work within Budapest, allowing for further refinement and exploration without additional cost.
Alternatively, we can use the day to work outside the city and explore the Danube Bend, including locations such as Esztergom, Visegrád, and Szentendre. This option includes private transfer and full-day touring.
Extension within Budapest: no additional transfer cost
Extension outside Budapest with VIP private transfer: +€250
€1600 for 2 days
€2200 for 3 days
Price per workshop (not per person). Max 2 people.
🟥 Leica-Focused Option (Available for Any Workshop)
Whether you're using an M10, Q2, M6, or even a vintage lens, all workshops can be adapted for Leica users. Learn techniques specific to manual focus, zone focusing, and achieving the Leica look, both digital and film.
