Unique look at York - Really enjoyable walk around York. Paula is really knowledgeable and friendly and helped me to explore aspects of Yorks history and architecture that I might not otherwise have done by myself. Highly recommended

A great experience and a knowledgeable guide - I really enjoyed my photo walk with Paula. She is very professional and explained everything very clearly, giving examples as we walked around. The 3 hours flew by! I only have a compact camera, but I learned a lot about composition, perspective etc. I hope to put the hints and tips she gave me to good use in the future. Very glad I booked the walk and would definitely do it again.

A great photo guide to historic York - I mainly do wildlife photography but wanted to try more urban photography, so I booked a photowalk with Paula Duck on new years eve 2021. Paula showed me around parts of the old city of York and gave me helpful advice on composition and how to approach urban / street photography. We ended in the Museum garden where the tame fat little squirrels provided great subjects for urban wildlife photography. Unfortunately, it cloudy for much of time so poor lighting for the historic building. I still enjoyed the walk and learnt a lot, and will be back to photography the Minster gargoyles on another sunnier day with my long lens.

Informative and fun - I really enjoyed my photo walk with Paula. I hadn’t used my camera for a few months so it was ideal to get me back into it. Paula gave me some great tips and helped me discover a button on the camera I hadn’t used!
I changed my settings regularly and it was great to get feedback on my photos. The walk ended in the museum gardens with the friendly fast moving squirrels, which added another opportunity change the camera settings.
I would highly recommend this walk to anyone interested in photography, whether a beginner, experienced or just visiting York.

Highly reccomended camera tutorial - A very enjoyable and different way to get to know York again and learn more about my camera. Paula was very patient persuading me to turn it off auto and use the settings properly. Very pleased with the results. A very unhurried and relaxed walk too.
