Zim, our instructor, is an exceptional photographer with a remarkable talent for capturing stunning images. Her genuine desire to help others shows through in her teaching style. She is incredibly supportive, hands-on, and always ensures that we get the best possible shots. After class, she leaves us with a wealth of new tips and techniques to enhance our photography skills. This is my second time taking a New York Photo Safari Class, and I firmly believe it stands out as one of the best photography classes available, especially if you’re looking to capture pristine and captivating photos.

If you’re a budding photographer and want some different, non touristy photos from your travels, then I highly recommend taking a you’re with NYC safari. I booked not one but two tours in the space of a week and always look back to the photos I took!
Dear Jemkh - Thank you for taking the time to write a positive review. We're glad to hear you had a good time and got some great photos. Hope to see you again on your next NYC visit. Diane NYC Photo Safari
Zim did a great job. Gave us clear instruction before showing exactly what to do to create some cool effect with flash and get some nice "take home" shots I Time Square. She was happy to give us extra time and made sure we had a good experience.
Dear garywP - Thank you for your 5 star review. We're glad to hear you learned a lot during your Times Square at Night safari. Flash is a great tool to have in your photography tool box and being able to use it effectively makes night photography even more fun. We look forward seeing you again on your next NYC trip.

Great tour around Times Square at night. Learned a lot about night time photography in the city! Tourguide Zim brought us to some iconic locations and took more than enough time to explain very clearly how to improve in certain conditions and locations
I did a tour last month & it was great... Nicely socially distanced & only 2 other participants. Informative!
Dear Q5164, Thank you for the review. Yes, we are back and we are socially distanced! Hope to see you again on your next NYC visit! Diane NYC Photo Safari
An excellent tour with Zim. She knew all the perfect locations so it saved me a lot of time scouting the place. And every shot i took was a learning experience. If i had time i would've taken another one of her tours.
It was a great experience with Zim. It was the best Tour ever with a photo guide like Zim,big big kmowlege,Fun and perfect Spots. It's a "must be" Thanks Zim😍😍😍
This is long overdue. I headed back to NYC during Thanksgiving and we wound up staying in the city. I had done the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridge shoot with Zim the beginning of March last year, so when I had an opportunity to rebook for NYC after dark, I jumped on it. Zim was again my tour guide so I completely lucked out. Her willingness and technical expertise was fantastic. I did a private session and this time allowed me to focus on the technical aspects of my speedlight (SB 700), blur, and composition in the middle of it all. If you are looking to get some iconic shots of Times Square, street photography all at night this is your ticket. Again, this was really long overdue, but when I am back in NYC I will be rebooking NYC Photo Safari for another excursion.
This tour and the Iconic NYC daytime tour were the highlights of my trip to NYC. I first though the tour would be more a guide to best locations, but it was so much more. The real bonus was how much I learned about night photography. Zim was our guide and she is the BEST! Looking forward to taking more tours in the future.
I live right across the river in New Jersey, so I know the City very well, but I signed up for the Times Square at night workshop because it was sounded interesting and was something I've never done before (In fact despite coming to NYC often, I had not been in Times Square for years). We had a small group which allowed our tour leader, Zim, to spend a lot of time providing suggestions and critiquing our work. Zim was fantastic at explaining the concepts at hand and really emphasized "dumbing down" the technical terms to make them easier to understand. I appreciated that because not all workshop leaders do that. Lastly, she's hilarious and kept us laughing all night. Clearly NYC Photo Safari targets out of town visitors but as a local I really enjoyed the workshop and would definitely recommend it to everybody.
