A Must-Do in NYC, Even on Your Fourth Visit - This was my fourth NYC Photo Safari, and it was another fantastic experience. This time my instructor was David, who was wonderful! He was friendly, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. He struck a great balance between offering helpful guidance and giving everyone the freedom to explore their own style. He always made sure everyone got the shots they wanted before moving on and took time to answer questions and share useful tips along the way. One thing I always appreciate about NYC Photo Safari is how engaging and supportive the instructors make the entire experience. Each time, I walk away seeing the city differently and feeling more confident in my photography. This safari was no exception. After four safaris, I can honestly say the experience is consistently excellent. I recommend NYC Photo Safari to anyone visiting New York and always tell friends and family about it. It’s always worth it, and I’ll definitely be back again.

Photo tour with Zim - While it was freezing out, it was a great experience. Zimmer has a master knowledge of camera, features the element and composition of photography as well as some of the best places to take and create images. While she was a bit harsh on her critiques, they were accurate and well needed, but definitely recommend this tour.

excellent tour, that will enhance your trip to NY - Great afternoon photo tour with Zim, who taught us a lot both about what to look for and how to think differently about the architecture and photographing it. Delved into camera settings as well when needed. For me it was a great tour and I got exactly what I needed from it, saw some sights I wouldn't have seen, got some fantastic photo's and had a really great chat with a skilled professional photographer.

Great experience - I took two tours and it was great. Zim was fantastic. She also gave us a lot of tips on how to improve our pictures and how to use better our cameras.

Very patient and knowledgeable guide - We loved Zim's tour. She gave us great tips to improve our pictures. She asked us what we wanted to learn or improve and adapted the tour to do just that She is also very fun and speaks a little Spanish, which helped a lot for us.

Wonderful experience with Zim. - We had a small group so everyone got individual attention. Learned a lot and got some great shots along with a cool Grand Central Terminal timelapse video - all shot on my iPhone. Will definitely take another photo safari next time I’m in NY.

A trip to Grand Central Terminal - I took the class with Zim and explored the area in and around Grand Central Station. She was an excellent teacher and a great photographer. She was clear and knowledgeable and moved easily between the cell phone and camera shots. I highly recommend Zim and look forward to taking another class soon.

Making less boring images! - I learned a great deal about my cameras abilities that I was not using! And the use of angles as well as boring space elimination!

An aesthetic angle to look at the city - We booked the tour for my younger son Max who's an amateur photographer. My older son and I joined without cameras. All three of us have enjoyed this tour and have learned a lot. Robert is a great photographer and teacher. Max has learned quite a few new techniques and methods for photographing. My older son and I were also able to appreciate the architecture in NYC through photographer's lens. Robert was very patiently guiding each student on their own level, while also caring for us non-photographers in the group. We will definitely come back to NYC for another tour with Robert, probably Central Park. Highly recommend!

Highly recommended photo tour/instruction with Zim - Did a custom photo tour with Zim that was roughly this itinerary on a day when it wasn't available. Zim was great. She is a very experienced photographer and accomplished instructor. In particular, she listened to what photography challenges we were facing, asked some great questions, and got right into helping us improve. I was looking for help with composition and finding compelling images to create while walking around. Zim typically would have me take a shot the way I was inclined to do it and then would show various alternatives, sometimes with just a suggestion and sometimes by actually photographing. In any case, she did quick critiques of all images and was really spot on with what I was looking for an how to improve. I take a lot of online classes and I like them, but working with an accomplished instructure directly is a great accompaniment to what you can learn in a class or on your own. I'm looking forward to doing another session with Zim elsewhere in the city.
