The experience was awesome. Great tips about composition and general photography tips. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area.
Zim was the perfect teacher and guide - funny, patient, giving enough time to learn the tricks but also challenging us when the Fotos were not yet perfect, also giving lots of recommendations on good food places all over town --> it was an amazing tour and a perfect birthday present for my partner, highly highly recommended!!!

Great personalized experience, tailored to our level and photography skill. Fantastic opportunity to learn from a real pro. Highly recommend.
This was an outstanding photography safari. I learned so much and I stepped out of my boring comfort zone. I learned to looked at buildings and focus on what I was shooting. My perspective on picture taking has evolved. The instructor was a Gem.

A must! This is a great opportunity to see the city and learn a new skill.
Zim is a great teacher. And i will definitely do it again!
Today was a photographic revelation. Having travelled to many parts of the whorls and having undertaken many different photo tours this was simply the best. Zim was amazing. Fun, incredibly knowledgeable and she simply knew how to get the best shots. All three of us on the tour were blown away by the images we got with Zim’s guidance. First class all the way. For those passionate photographers out there just book this you will not be disappointed

Dear Sanjay -
Thank you so much for your glowing review. It's fantastic to hear that you think we are the best! All of our instructors are actual working professionals and not just hobbyists who enjoy photography, or tour guides with a camera. This is why they can provide detailed information about photography and since they are ALL local New Yorkers they know the city and the best places to photograph as well.

It was great to learn how to get the best photos from an expert, from framing your shot through to reflective images. Rob guided our group of 4 to take some amazing pictures. We also went away knowing how to recreate these shots for future pictures. Thank you Rob!

Zim was fun and knowledgable to learn with. Good for people who visit New York to get to take good pictures around the city. Absolutely recommended
Such a great way to see the city and learn a few things, too. The photos I took with Zim will be the best souvenirs I bring home from this trip.
The tour guide is very helpful and informative. Zim is really cool and what impress me the most is how "scientific" she is. She teaches me how to take the most from my camera along with very convenient and effecitve way of taking better pictures. The angle she shows me is very unique, and the picture taken transform dual photos into lively and interesting spots.

Zim was wonderful. Able to help both experienced and less experienced photographers. She knows her stuff, but is definitely friendly and able to help all us photographer wannabes! We took great images of iconic. NY. I learned a lot, and she even helped me understand Lightroom much better. HIGHLY recommend this tour, and Zim!
Amazing photo day in NYC, loved every moment of it. Must do if you love photography and want a different perspective for seeing the city!
Fantastic tour. We saw a lot of the classic tourist sites Empire State Building, Rockafeller Center, Central Park etc. from a very different angle and learned a lot on the technical side. It was great to spend a few hours with such an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. Highly recommended!
Brilliant tour, I was lucky regarding that I was the only one to learn about how to take terrific pics of New York. Recommended is you enjoy to walk and take pics.
Fantastico workshop con Zim: brava, paziente e molto simpatica. Non solo ci ha condotte in luoghi dove scattare foto speciali, ma non ha risparmiato consigli tecnici e pratici. Una fotografa generosa e bravissima!
