About Marco Secchi – Photographer & Visual Storyteller

Every photograph captures a unique story, and each moment brings new perspectives to life.

I’m Marco Secchi, an award-winning professional photographer represented by Getty Images, working across Venice, Ljubljana, Budapest, and the Balkans. With a strong background in photojournalism, street photography, and documentary storytelling, I bring a distinctive artistic vision to every project, selecting images that blend commercial appeal with creative depth.

My Photography Journey

My passion for photography began in my father’s historic photo shop in Milan, where I was surrounded by cameras, prints, and the magic of image-making. Over the years, my career has taken me across global events and historic moments, from covering war zones and the Syrian refugee crisis to photographing figures such as Pope Francis, LeBron James, George Clooney, and political world leaders.

My work has been featured in international newspapers, magazines, and books and exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide. Whether it’s capturing the atmosphere of a city, the intensity of a moment, or the subtleties of human expression, my approach is always rooted in authentic storytelling and strong visual composition.

Black & White & Analog Photography

I have a deep appreciation for black-and-white photography, which I see as the purest form of visual storytelling. Recently, I’ve immersed myself in analog film photography, particularly medium format black-and-white, capturing images with a timeless and tactile depth that digital photography can’t quite replicate.

My latest black-and-white collection was recently showcased at a solo exhibition in Ljubljana, marking a new chapter in my exploration of form, light, and emotion.

Street Photography & Documentary Work

Street photography has always been at the core of my artistic identity. I’m drawn to the spontaneity of everyday life—the unguarded moments, the interplay of shadows, and the unscripted narratives that unfold in the world around us. This has led me to document cities like Venice, Budapest, and London, focusing on their dynamic energy and cultural contrasts.

Digital Presence & Social Media

I share my work, insights, and thoughts on Flipboard, Bluesky, and Threads, engaging in discussions about photography, visual storytelling, and creative expression. As social media evolves, I enjoy using these platforms to connect with like-minded photographers, creatives, and enthusiasts worldwide.

The Art of Printing

Beyond the digital realm, I believe in the power of print. Whether through fine art prints, photography books, or curated collections, my goal is to create tangible pieces that preserve the emotion and story behind each image. My dedicated team ensures that every print maintains the highest standards of quality, bringing each vision to life.
