New Orleans Photo Walks Historical Photography Tours

Overview
New Orleans is a Photographer's Paradise.  "If you want to be a better photographer, stand in front of more interesting stuff." Architecture from Baroque to Modern, the buildings and Cemeteries of New Orleans tell the story of a peculiar American city heavily influenced by its French, Spanish and Caribbean roots. Its diverse historical influences have impacted the urban fabric as much as the culture itself. Our Photography Guides, licensed New Orleans tour guides, combine the history with the shot. A historical Photo Walk for Everyone.  Beginners, Hobbyists and Advanced; Smart Phones, Pads, Point and Shoot, DSLR, and Mirrorless.

My 12 year old son and I took the beginner photography tour with our tour guide, Photo Don. Only using our iPhones, we were able to get some great shots around the French Quarter and Jackson Square. Don threw in a few historical facts about the area along the way as well. We were taught the basics of getting that perfect shot and I would recommend this tour for novice photographers, like ourselves.

The guide Donald was wonderful. I just bought my first DSLR and his instructions were very helpful and I got some great shots. His knowledge of New Orleans kept the tour interesting and engaging.

Donald was very knowledgeable in both photography and New Orleans history. We learned a lot and enjoyed the tour of the city at the same time. Interesting to see a different perspective and learn new ways of approaching photography.
