One of the photos taken during my Bohemia and Prague Leica Workshop Jindřichův Hradec Castle is reflected in the still water of Vajgar Lake at dusk in Jindřichův Hradec, South Bohemia, Czech Republic. The castle complex is one of the largest in the country, with architectural elements from the Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque periods. #leica #photography #workshop #bohemia #prague #marcosecchi

🔍 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.

Still shooting prime lenses in 2025? Absolutely. 28mm, 35mm, 50mm — these three focal lengths have shaped how I see the world. They force intention. They reward discipline. And they never go out of style. #Photography #StreetPhotography #PrimeLens #VisualStorytelling #MarcoSecchi #CreatorEconomy

28mm. 35mm. 50mm.
Three lenses. A lifetime of stories.
I’ve tried them all — and I still come back to the fixed, simple, demanding beauty of primes.

“You’ve been sold a dream. That’s why you’re broke.”
I wrote this for photographers tired of the fluff.
No presets. No chasing likes. Just how it actually works.

🎭 Venice: Two Stories in One Frame Same image, two moods. Colour speaks in detail — texture, reflection, chaos. Monochrome whispers — light, contrast, emotion. Which one draws you in more? 🖤🤍 or 🌈?

It’s been up all day.
Some read it, a few flinched, and nobody (yet) paid 35% more.

The Great Portfolio Graveyard.
We’ve all done it. Uploaded. Waited. Forgotten. This week on Substack, I’m diving into what platforms like Alamy, Photoshelter, and Format actually offer photographers — and where your images really go to die.
🪦 No sponsors. No filters. Just facts and fire.

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.

Venice has many secrets — and one of them is edible. 🐟
Sarde in saor is more than a dish. It’s tradition, preservation, sweet-and-sour poetry on a plate.
In this post, I share where to find the best versions in Venice and why they still matter.
