Discovering the Real Soul of Budapest During Autumn


Autumn in Budapest is a magical time. As the leaves turn golden and the air gets crisp, the city reveals an enchanting and evocative side. There's no better way to capture this transformation than through the lens of a camera, and that's exactly what my masterclasses aim to do. Join me, Marco Secchi, as we explore and photograph the hidden gems and vibrant scenes of Budapest during this breathtaking season.

Why Autumn in Budapest?

Budapest in autumn is a sight to behold. The city’s iconic landmarks, like the Parliament Building and Buda Castle, are beautifully framed by a tapestry of fall colors. The bustling markets, tranquil parks, and charming streets offer endless opportunities for stunning photography. The soft, diffused light of the season adds a unique touch to every shot, making each image rich with atmosphere and emotion.

What to Expect from the Masterclass

My masterclasses are designed to help you see and capture the essence of Budapest. We’ll start our journey early in the morning, when the city is just waking up and the light is perfect for photography. Here's a glimpse of what our itinerary might include:

  1. Morning Light and Historic Architecture: We'll begin with a stroll along the Danube River, capturing the first light hitting the Parliament Building. We'll also explore the historic Fisherman's Bastion, offering panoramic views of the city.

  2. Hidden Gems and Local Markets: Next, we'll venture into lesser-known areas, including the bustling Great Market Hall. This is a fantastic opportunity to practice street photography, capturing the daily life and vibrant colors of local produce and crafts.

  3. Autumn Colors in City Parks: We’ll spend the afternoon in some of Budapest’s beautiful parks, like Margaret Island and City Park, where the autumn foliage is at its best. Here, you can experiment with landscape photography and close-up shots of nature’s details.

  4. Evening Scenes and Night Photography: As the sun sets, we'll turn our attention to the city’s nightscapes. From the illuminated Chain Bridge to the lively streets of the Jewish Quarter, you’ll learn how to master low-light photography.
