5.00I’m new to photography but the NYC Photo Safari made learning with just my iPhone easy and fun. I was a little nervous because I didn’t have any expensive equipment, but Bruce made me feel at ease and comfortable. The tour of Central Park was beautiful. He gave simple explanations and hands-on guidance to make sure that I was picking up on the concepts they were explaining. It was a nice pace and the small group made it feel personal. I would highly recommend for anyone who is interested in looking at NYC from a different angle whether you’ve been here 50 times or just a few. Very fun afternoon and will be joining another group.
Fantastic Workshop with Professional Photographer

5.00Had a great time with this photographer. She provided her professional experience to address many things typically not normally considered in shot selection, lens distance from subject, photographic depth of field issues with telephoto lens. We found her assistance and technique discussions incredibly helpful that was used on an October workshop in Italy. She was knowledgeable about mirrorless cameras and made adjustments on the fly that are still be used today. I would recommend this photographer for anyone who wants to learn more about the craft.

5.00This was one of the best photography instruction experiences I’ve had. Zim is incredibly knowledgeable—not only in shooting techniques, but also in equipment—and she patiently helped me work through technical challenges I was struggling with. Highly recommend if you’re in NYC.
Had fun and learned lots!

5.00My wife and I had an amazing Central Park Photo Safari experience! Zim was fun and interesting, and helped us to learn so much in the time that we had. We learned how to make the most of both our dedicated camera and phone cameras to compose great shots. It was an amazing and unique way to explore part of Central Park!
Excellent combination of photo technique and introduction to NYC landmarks

5.00I took five different photo safaris on this trip - 4 were with Zim (WTC, Central Park, Iconic NY 1, Iconic NY 2) and one was with David (Brooklyn Bridge). I enjoyed working with both of them - David was easy to talk with and gave me a lot of insight into living in NYC. He also has a good eye for noting interesting light. Zim excels at explaining photo concepts at the level of the photographer - one person there was an absolute beginner, while I'm more advanced. She did a great job differentiating the instruction so both of us were challenged and learned. She is also very picky and "compassionately direct" in her critiques of photos. I never felt like I had done something wrong; instead, I thought I could learn to critically look and improve.
A wonderful learning experience!

5.00What a great time! We learned so much about our cell phone cameras. We learned about angles, depth, timers, and the best way to take selfies. I've deleted tons of selfies in the past...no more! The setting in Central Park was perfect.
Excellent Morning in Central Park Learning Photography!

5.00I greatly enjoyed my photography experience and time with Zim this past Saturday morning - I learned so much! As a beginning photographer, I appreciate everything she taught me. She gave me many good tips and techniques as well as encouragement to build my confidence in photography using beautiful Central Park as a back drop. Time well spent !

5.00Zim is great. She offered amazing tips on composition and light. She was extremely helpful and endlessly patient. Although I'm a rank beginner, I left feeling like a semi-pro.
In for a treat

5.00I recently had the pleasure of participating in a photography lesson tour in Central Park, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! From the moment we met our instructor, Zim, it was clear that we were in for a treat. Zim was not only knowledgeable about photography techniques but also deeply passionate about the beauty of Central Park itself.
