Taught and old dog new tricks! - Zim taught me how to use parts of my cameras computer I had never tried and settingings I had never used! She was also very informative about looking at angles differently then I had been!

'Make Some Decisions and Find Your Best Friend' - If you are looking to spend a day just taking pictures in New York City, this is not it. If you are looking for an experience, learning from an expert about how to find the story in the photo that you see in your mind and how to use your camera to tell that story, then a PhotoSafari with Zim will take you to the next level. Comprehensively, directly and honestly, she will willingly help and guide you through what you want and are willing to learn in this experience. Whether it be about telling the story, learning about your camera or photographing architecture, people or everyday objects on the streets of the city - this experience is about 'making some decisions' and 'finding your best friend' which is some of the best advice I've ever gotten after dozens of workshops and classes.

Excellent fun and very informative - So I'm repeat visitor to New York City Photo Safari. Why? because they are the best in the business! You will not find a better photography workshop. You will learn loads and I guarantee that you will come away with some excellent photographs. Zim is really good company and will help you out with composition and technique. She is a wealth of knowledge about photography and encourages you to ask questions. She will patiently go over a subject and revisit a concept until you understand. She is very approachable and full of engery. I've done lots of photography tours around the world and I can honestly say this is the best company. Oh and the other advantage of going to Grand Central with this company is you get to use your tripod which is not normally allowed, this means you will end up with really cool movement shots from being able to use slow shutter speeds. They are very responsive to emails and telephone calls and will do their best to accommodate last minute requests for a tour.I know that I will do another safari when I back in NYC in a few months time

Learned a Lot and It Was Fun! - Had family in town for the holiday weekend and my nieces wanted to do a photo safari, so we did the one in Central Park. They loved it! I thought 2.5 hours might be a bit long for them, but the instructor, Rob, did a nice job keeping them focused, showing them how to handle their cameras, set up their shots, how to work their camera, etc. He was really easy going. I was kind of along for the ride with my simple point and shoot but Rob did not neglect me and I learned a few things too. I live here and have been to Central Park many times, but now I will see the Park in a whole new light!

Great fun and opens new doors - As a photo 'tech-head' like me, Zim really knew to kindle those creative juices. You can't help but be drawn in by her outlook on the artistic side of photography, her hands-on approach and rapid feedback. Get beyond your exposure triangle obsession and work on composition and story telling. And have fun at the same time. I also had my younger nephew, new to photography, who was inspired. Highly recommend!

Loved it! - My husband and I did a private tour in Central Park with Rob. What a great way to see explore Central Park! We learned so much about photography AND we have some great shots to show for it !!! We are excited to try more tours.

Awesome experience & learned so much - Toured Grand Central Station. Bruce was very informative and gave us all a lot of great tips on shooting. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend this tour and any tour with NYC Photo Safari. They all definitely know what they are doing. Love you all - Zim, Bruce and FRank. Vinny & Liz Grasso

Amazing experience - I have gone on many of NYC Photo safari tours and have thoroughly enjoyed and love each and every one of them. Each time I go on one, i learn a ton of stuff about photography -- not technical stuff but composition, how to make pics more interesting, how to frame, etc. BUT, I also learn about NYC, its sites, history and people. I just love participating in these safaris.
