  1. STARTING PHOTOGRAPHY, PROPERLY Lesson 9: The Narrative Thread and the Art of Visual Silence

    Most photographers are terrified of empty space. They try to cram every detail into the frame, the faces, the signs, the clutter. They think more information equals a better story.

    They’re wrong.

    I’ve learned that the most powerful tool isn’t your lens’s sharpness—it’s Visual Silence. In my latest lesson, we look at how to use mist, shadow, and negative space to "mute" the world so the story can finally be heard.

    Stop taking snapshots. Start constructing silence.

  3. In photography, technical fear often kills creative opportunity.

    In my latest lesson for the "Starting Photography, Properly" series, I dive into the psychological baggage many digital photographers carry regarding ISO. We discuss the "Gear Arms Race" vs. "Consumer Fear" and why your eyes are lying to you when you zoom in to 400% on a screen.

    As a professional working between Venice and Budapest, I’ve learned that texture (grain) creates atmosphere—motion blur from a slow shutter speed just creates a ruined shot.

    Read more on why "Zero Noise" is a marketing trap and how to find your camera's true functional ceiling.

  5. Oh yes, you can catch it 😄 Venice is playing tricks again. A red gondola slicing through blue water, seagulls causing chaos, and snow-covered mountains quietly stealing the background. Not the postcard angle. Still 100% Venice. Shot with Leica, because subtle drama deserves good glass 📷 . #venice #leica #photographyworkshop #marcosecchi

  8. 🔍 Three focal lengths. Decades of work. Zero regrets.

    After yesterday’s free post, today I’ve published a deep dive into the three prime lenses that shaped how I see:
    28mm, 35mm, and 50mm.

    This is the long version — what each lens taught me, when I use them, and how they’ve influenced my storytelling (and income).

    If you shoot prime, you’ll find yourself in here.
    If you don’t… you might after reading.

  24. July is a month of memories and mourning — not only for Srebrenica, but also for Mostar.
    This image, taken in the ruins of what was once a home, speaks of a siege that left deep scars. Mostar is not just history for me — it’s personal, a place that continues to echo in my work and my heart.
    Never forget.

  36. 📸 Who inspires a photojournalist?
    I get asked this question often, so I’ve finally written a blog post about it.

    I admire these photographers deeply: some are colleagues I’ve worked alongside, others I’ve followed for years, and a few I’ve never met but whose work continues to shape visual journalism at its best.

    From breaking news to long-form storytelling, red carpet to refugee camps, their work always teaches me something.

  38. RoMa: A Billionaire’s Yacht with a Tumultuous Legacy
    The iconic 62-meter RoMa—a superyacht with a story as striking as its design. Once the floating palace of Austrian billionaire René Benko, RoMa was quietly sold in 2024 for €25 million—well below its original price—as part of the fallout from Benko’s collapsing real estate empire.

    Built by Viareggio Superyachts and designed by the legendary Espen Øino, RoMa still graces the waters as a luxury charter vessel, with a starting rate of €345,000 per week.

    I've added this series to my archive. For collectors of visual stories from the edges of wealth, power, and spectacle… this one fits right in.
