Wonderful experience - Vim was amazing and so knowledgeable! The power of Vim! We learned how to make our pictures express our visions. We loved Vim and the personal attention she gave us.

Super helpful and fun private photo Safari - My son got a new camera, but didn’t know how to use it, so we scheduled a private photo Safari with Zim. She taught him how to use his camera and then they ran around taking all kinds of different pictures, including LEGO minifig photography (which we learned is called macro photography), dog photography, landscape, photography, and portraits. She even brought a macro lens for him to try! My son had a great time and Zim was very patient and enthusiastic!

Capture a slice of NYC! - I had such a fantastic experience with the Manhattan Architecture Photo Safari that I booked another, this time the Central Park Tour. I was delighted to see that Zim was once again my instructor, and knew that my daughter-in-law and I would get many tips to make our photos of NYC the best they could be. I remember Zim being a Canon shooter back on my first tour. I am a Nikon shooter, and both my daughter-in-law and I were using differnt models of the Z series. Plus we were both shooting in different modes. Zim went through all of the camera menus, navigating each with ease, even though they were very different. Zim is a wealth of knowledge and experience, and can guide anyone, regardless of skill level or equipment. It is apparent that she loves her city, and wants her clients/students to share in its beauty. Zim helped us capture it, taking advantage of our camera's technology, while applying our new skills from the knowledge she shared. She has a wonderful personality, is an engaging speaker and a good listener. She heard what we wanted to get out of our experience, and challenged us to beome better photographers. I will take another safari, probably in the spring of 2025. What a wonderful way to see NYC, and take home photographic memories!

Lot's of great learnings with practice. - I actually booked another tour and towards the end the guide, Zim, had to end a bit early. She kindly offered me to join this tour later. Through both tours, Zim has been phenomenal in sharing tips. I have take a few photography session in the past and a few things stood out with Zim. She was sharing more than a single photo spot/angle that makes great pictures. She was also sharing the theory behind it and posed it as a challenge first, "If you want to do X, how would you do it". Such a format was very helpful because we would try to figure out how to do it and then get feedback and we would repeat until we have gotten a great shot. So I have walked away with more learnings and practice than I would get from a regular photowalks.

Exceeded my expectations! - I had a fantastic experience with Zim. She gave me the perfect amount of guidance, I have already implemented the tips and my photos have improved greatly. I highly recommend this experience with Zim!

NYC Safari - a great way to explore the city and learn how to be a better photographer! - This is my 2nd NYC Photo Safari - and I'll be back for more! Not only did I have the opportunity to explore the city with a local, I learned so many things that are going to make me a better photographer. We talked about composition, light, and how to better leverage features in my camera. I came away with some great shots and lots of tips and tricks to build upon. I'll be back!

Fantastic photography experience for newbie photographer - I came in with zero knowledge of photography and walked away feeling pretty confident in using my camera in my upcoming trip. Zim walked through the basics of the camera, did real time demonstrations of the differences between the settings and then applied it in taking some pictures around Central Park. Truly a wealth of knowledge and truly a blast to hang out with! Would highly recommend anyone curious about photography or looking for some guidance in navigating NYC photography.

Really learn how to take a picture! - This tour taught me more about photography and how to take a good picture in 2 hours than I learned in 2 years with online videos. Zim was incredible and was beyond patient with me! I will definitely be back to learn more and get more shots!

Fantastic! - My 15 year old son took the “tour” and learned so much. It’s definitely more of a workshop with lots of instruction on how to best use your camera features. The small group size (in his case only 2 people) meant everyone got individual time. His instructor was super experienced and got him thinking on how he could use this hobby to earn a living.

Was fun! - Zim, our instructor, was awesome. Right from the start you could tell she knew what she was talking about (she had 25 years of professional experience). She was easy to talk to, and made us feel comfortable. It was fun and totally recommended
