Excellent evening with a really good and informative photographer
We had a great tour with Zim! She chose several excellent locations for us to practice techniques, and was very detailed in explaining what she looks for in a picture and how to utilize our cameras for any situation! Would definitely recommend this for anyone who has any interest in photography.
I did a photography session with Zim today and it was absolutely fantastic. She is incredibly knowledgeable and explained things in a way that made it easy to understand and immediately put into practice. Zim helped me compose better photos and showed me how to really get the most out of my camera. We spent the session walking around the area near Rockefeller Center, photographing buildings, the subway, and other iconic New York scenes while chatting and learning along the way. It was relaxed, fun, and packed with useful tips that made a real difference to my photography. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to improve their photography while exploring New York. It was a brilliant experience!
I really enjoyed the 3 hour photo shoot with Zim. She was incredibly helpful in terms of explaining my digital camera to me and help me think how to improve the composition of my shots
I’m incredibly happy that I booked this masterclass with Zim. She is a true professional and an incredibly talented photographer. Thank you so much for the amazing masterclass!
Both Rob and Bruce were thoughtful and kind. They clearly knew their stuff. My group of students were exhausted when we arrived to this tour and Rob and Bruce were so patient and met them where they were. They gave several tips to students with great cameras and others that were just using their phones. Would definitely book this again!
Dear christyo - Thank you so much for your kind words! We're delighted to hear that your group enjoyed the photo workshop. All of our instructors are seasoned professional photographers, and they truly excel at meeting participants where they are—whether you're shooting with a smartphone or a DSLR, they know how to bring out the best in every photographer. We look forward to welcoming you back for another round of NYC magic next year! Diane NYC Photo Safari
Their tours not only give unique perspectives for well-known sites, but the guides are excellent at providing just the right level of guidance for every level of photographer. For example, everyone has taken pix of the Brooklyn Bridge, but almost nobody knows the right spot downriver to get just the right framing. And the guide tactfully provides suggestions and advice. Mine was a night time tour which requires careful settings, and they explain the options while allowing you to experiment. This is our second tour with NYC Photo Safari, and I would gladly do it again.
Pilar was wonderful she took us to Roosevelt Island. She helped us with our composition and settings on our camera to take the best shots. Throughly recommend this tour.
David gave myself and my wife a great educational tour of not only how to use our cameras to take great pictures around Grand Central but also provided a great historical perspective of the buildings around us. He very knowledgeable in helping us in maximizing the full potential of our cameras and had us native New Yorkers enjoying taking pictures of our hometown. We would definitely recommend him to our friends and would love to take another workshop with him in the summer!
Zim was fantastic!! It was our first introduction to really shooting with a high quality camera and Zim was the best instructor we could have dreamed of. Not only did we get a bunch of amazing shots in Africa as a result, but we also really upped our selfie game!
