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.

Fantastic mix of photography instruction and local history. Photo Don taught me several new things about my camera, and shared interesting facts about New Orleans history. Highly recommend this tour to photo enthusiasts, both beginners and advanced, and history buffs.

Dennis was my guide, and he was the best. He was patient and kind and showed a very beginner like myself what the bells and whistles on my camera do. He showed me how to take much better photographs than I could have ever done before. In fact, I have always made horrible photos before Dennis's help. I wanted to take trip photos, but needed to learn product photography, and he catered my tour to my own particular needs. Best of all, he answered all my zillion questions without getting frustrated with me once. Would love to do this tour again and maybe the advanced one as I practice and progress more.
