I just went on an "Iconic New York" (2) photo safari with Bruce and wanted to pass on my thanks to you for such an amazing experience. The safari was the most brilliant and educational way to see NYC - more than I had hoped for. I was able to see many of the great sights of New York - but with purpose and a different perspective. It was great being in such a small group too. I am a novice photographer so was very nervous it would be beyond me and I would be wasting people's time - but Bruce was great at making it accessible and I learned so much just in two hours. I've already signed up for 2 more tours! Such an amazing experience.

My group photo safari tour turns into private lessons. I did not expect to learn so much from Zim after doing amateur photography for the last 10 years. But I did, thanks to Zim. She put a lot of info into very professional and respectful forms. Completely different views of the city. Would like to do it again.

I did the Iconic New York Part 1 tour with Zim. She arrived promptly at the appointed time and greeted me in a friendly, but professional way. She showed me a few of my camera’s settings that I wasn’t taking full advantage of and then we were off to The Empire State Building, Radio City Music Hall, Rockefeller Center, the Subway, and finished up on the southeast side of Central Park. I learned lots of things, but my favorites were how to use angles to make my shots more interesting, how to better position myself, and how to shoot the subway using a slow shutter speed and still have the proper exposure. You need to be able to walk briskly, and it helps to have a Metro card, as you will ride the subway. Zim also shared some of her knowledge about the city and encouraged questions. She’s a great teacher, with a good sense of humor and enough patience to deal with tourists who want to take good shots of NYC. I highly recommend this tour.
