10-Hour Monochrome Photography Workshop in Venice

Discover the essence of black-and-white photography in Venice, a city where light and shadow create timeless beauty. Join Marco Secchi, an award-winning photographer, for a private, in-depth 10-hour workshop, ideal for photographers looking to elevate their skills and capture Venice’s stunning landscapes and intricate details in monochrome.

Why Venice?

Venice is a photographer's dream—its labyrinth of canals, historical architecture, and atmospheric lighting offer endless opportunities to capture dramatic, emotion-filled images. From the vibrant life around Piazza San Marco to the quiet charm of hidden alleyways, Venice presents a perfect backdrop for monochrome photography. You'll learn to transform these scenes into captivating black-and-white compositions, honing your eye for texture, contrast, and mood.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Mastering Light & Shadow: Explore Venice's shifting daylight and learn to work with high-contrast scenes and subtle gradations of light.

  • Composition Techniques: Refine your framing to highlight Venice's architectural elegance and organic flow.

  • Street Photography: Capture candid moments that tell a story, focusing on movement and emotion.

  • Post-Processing Masterclass: Elevate your images in the digital darkroom with expert tips on editing for tone, contrast, and mood in black-and-white photography.

The Experience:

The workshop is divided into hands-on shooting sessions across iconic and lesser-known locations. You’ll explore the wide variety of Venice—from busy markets and canals to serene, off-the-beaten-path neighbourhoods. A midday break includes a traditional Venetian lunch, where you can discuss your work and ask questions in a relaxed setting, refuelling before the afternoon session.

Key Details:

  • Duration: 10 hours (can be customized or split into two sessions)

  • Group Size: Private workshop for 1-2 participants (option to add up to 2 more)

  • Includes: Lunch at a local Venetian restaurant, personalized instruction, and post-shoot feedback.

  • Price: €900 (additional participants €100 each)

Whether you're new to black-and-white photography or a seasoned professional, this immersive workshop will refine your technical and artistic skills, leaving you with a unique portfolio that captures the soul of Venice in monochrome.
