👋 Why Book With Me?

I was born in Venice and grew up exploring its calli, campi, and canals long before they filled with tourists. I’ve worked with Getty Images, led hundreds of private photo tours, and spent a lifetime capturing the soul of the city.

This is not a generic travel call — it’s insider knowledge, visual expertise, and local passion rolled into one conversation that will elevate your entire trip.

📍 Venice-based Photographer | Leica Shooter | Getty Contributor

Ciao! I’m Marco Secchi — an editorial and travel photographer with 20+ years of experience, currently based between Venice and Budapest. I tell stories through images — capturing the quiet magic, shifting light, and everyday moments that make Venice unlike anywhere else.

As a Getty Images contributor and workshop leader, I offer private 1-to-1 experiences for travellers, creatives, and visual storytellers — whether you're drawn to the fog, the blue hour, or a perfect black-and-white frame.

🗺️ I’ve also created a deeply personal guide to the real Venice — made for those who want to connect with the city beyond the surface. It’s not just a list of places. It’s about mood, atmosphere, unexpected beauty, and the feeling of wandering through a living, breathing labyrinth.

With over 200 curated locations, from quiet canals and secret bridges to authentic bacari and artisan workshops, it’s designed to help you explore Venice with intention. 📸 And if you’re a photographer, you’ll find detailed coordinates, best light recommendations, and unique vantage points throughout — ideal for capturing moments others walk past.

✨ Everything in the guide is included because I love it — not because I’m paid to. I take no commission or kickbacks, so every suggestion is genuine.

Join me for a photo walk or a workshop.

This is Venice — but felt, seen, and experienced with care.
