I choose this tour after reading raving reviews on TripAdvisor. Was looking to view the city through the eyes of a photographer, and learn new skills. Zim’s tour was nothing short of perfect. She encouraged all skill levels to push their respective boundaries. Her focus on composition, lighting and perspective, explanations and hands-on practice shoots were inspiring. Looking forward to the next tour!

I took both iconic NY tours with Zim in one day and was very happy with my shots and the entire process. The company called me 2 days before my trip was planned since the weather looked rough on the day I initially booked and we worked it out to go the next day instead. I'm so glad it didn't get cancelled. I'm normally a big nature landscape photographer and Zim took my expectations and turned them on their head and showed me she was right! Trust her, she knows what she is doing. Most importantly, remember rule 3!!!!

Dear Rich R, Thank you for your five star review. We're glad to hear that our instructor was not only able to provide you with a challenge but was also able to help you through that challenge. It's a great way to learn and to get some great photos. And thank you for letting us know that we did right by you with regards to rescheduling your session. The weather in the NE is always unpredictable and we try to be as accommodating as possible! And we're glad to hear that you were satisfied with the outcome. Do consider us again the next time you are in NYC! Diane NYC Photo Safari
