Venice in black and white asks you to pay attention to different things: the light falling across a wall, the separation between a figure and its background, the way a shadow holds a composition together. These are the decisions we work on during my Venice Black and White Photography Workshop. We walk, photograph and discuss what makes a frame work, taking time to understand where to stand, what to include and when to wait. If you would like to explore Venice with me and develop your eye for monochrome, follow the link for workshop details or send me a message. #venice #photography #workshop #blackandwhte #monochrome #leica

Some days, the washing does most of the composing. Colour, pattern and lines strung across a canal, with someone at an upstairs window quietly getting on with the day. This is the Venice I enjoy photographing: ordinary life with plenty to notice. If you would like to explore it with me, my Venice workshops leave time to walk, look and find your own photographs along the way.

Budapest gives you plenty to point a camera at. The interesting part is deciding where to stand, what to include, and how to make a familiar view your own. Here, the flowers and trees give the Parliament building a setting, while the light carries the eye through the frame. On my Budapest photography workshops, we explore those decisions together, with time to walk, experiment and understand why one frame works better than another. If you’d like to join me, send me a message with your travel dates. #budapest #photography #workshops #marcosecchi #leica

From my @gettyimages on #Burano Burano is often reduced to colour, as if its painted walls were enough to make the photograph. They are not. The real interest lies in the relationships between colour, geometry, water and daily life. A strong photograph needs more than an attractive façade. It needs timing, structure and an awareness of what is happening at the edges of the frame. That is what I look for when I work here, and what I teach in my private Venice photography workshops: how to move beyond the obvious view and build photographs that say something about a place rather than simply describe it. If you would like to photograph Venice with me, send me a message for workshop details and availability. #VenicePhotography #leica #PhotographyWorkshop

A rather nice bit of company to find myself in! 😊 Delighted to join the upcoming Venezia Photo programme alongside some wonderful photographers, each with their own way of seeing and telling stories. I'll be leading a four-day workshop in Venice, from 3 to 6 May 2027, exploring street and documentary photography. Not simply looking for beautiful individual photographs, but learning to observe, recognise connections and build a visual story. Four days of walking, photographing, discussing pictures and discovering the quieter, less obvious side of Venice. I've added a few of my photographs to the carousel to give you an idea of what we'll be exploring together. A big thank you to Venezia Photo for the invitation and for putting together such an interesting programme. Details and booking through Venezia Photo https://veneziaphoto.org/collections/all-year-workshops Wonderful to share this programme with @veneziaphotofestival and photographers including @stevemccurryofficial , Jean Christophe Bechet, @paul.cupido, @charlesnegre @edkashi and Julie Winokur. #VenicePhotography #StreetPhotography #DocumentaryPhotography #PhotographyWorkshop #VeneziaPhoto

Early morning in Venice, and the brightest thing on the waterfront is a newspaper kiosk. The gondolas are still covered. The lagoon and sky are almost the same blue-grey. One person stands at the counter, framed by the warm light spilling onto the damp paving. I like this hour because ordinary things become easier to notice. Later, people will walk past this kiosk on their way to somewhere more famous. Here, it holds the whole photograph. #venice #leica #photograhy #workshop #marcosecchi
