About Marco Secchi
To take photographs means to recognize - simultaneously and within a fraction of a second - both the fact itself and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that give it meaning. It is putting one's head, one's eye and one's heart on the same axis. (H Cartier Bresson)
I am a professional photographer and currently live in Milan and London, I tend to work all around Italy and the British Isles. Style is an individual characteristic and is best depicted through raw, energetic images taken in the bat of an eye lid. This is a crucial element in my photographic work, I strive to come up with new ideas and angles to capture outstanding illustrations of every day. I am experienced in portraying city life and buzz but also landscape and aspects of rural culture which are fast disappearing. I aim to bring my unique perspective to a variety of subjects.
“My father had a shop of photographic professional equipment and material and during one summer holidays I was more or less "forced" into being interested in photography, I read and learnt in particular about Ansel Adams and some Italian photographer as Fini, Ferreto e Boconer while playing with Ilford paper and old box cameras from Lamperti & Garbagnati.
I loved the strong contrast and resolutions in Black and White photos they managed to obtain. I found myself constantly watching the light changing and mentally framing pictures. It soon became an addiction that has taught me to 'see', leaving me little time to simply 'look'. Photography is very intuitive to me. It is strong relationship with the subject that drives me to seek possible combination of subject and light.
My work is being published on a regular basis internationally on a variety of newspapers, magazines and books.
