- Climber054822248860 contributionsFantastic TourAmazing evening was spent with Zim to capture the Brooklyn Bridge, New York skyline. Zim was lovely, friendly and very easy to talk to. Zim knowledge is next level with her experience with all different cameras. I got so much more out of this than I expected and this comes down to Zim. I would definitely recommend doing Brooklyn Bridge at Night Photography Tour.Written 10 October 2024
- katherinesH9461YX0 contributionsWorld Trade Center photography makes learning effortlessPhotography at the World Trade Center was just wonderful ! Zim obviously knew the area and led us to perfect photography sites. She looks at your photos and effortlessly makes suggestions for a better angle or setting for the photo. Painless learning and great afternoon.Written 27 August 2024
- MommaKM0 contributionsExtremely satisfied!I’ve done 3 group safaris and 1 private session and have been pleased all 4 times. Zim is an excellent instructor - she is patient, extremely knowledgeable and fun! Highly recommend!Written 26 August 2024
- dotd3110 contributionsThe NYC World Trade Center Photo Safari is a great way to learn!The NYC World Trade Center Photo Safari with Zim was outstanding! Zim is extremely knowledgeable in this field and is able to explain complicated concepts in such a way that a relative novice can fully comprehend. During the Photo Safari, I learned a lot about photography in general, with a specific focus on camera settings, composition, depth of field, lens filters, etc. Zim was also very patient, provided detailed advice, answered all of my (many) questions thoroughly, and helped me to capture some great photos! This was a very valuable experience and one that I highly recommend.Written 19 August 2024
- lucybS9666CT0 contributionsFantastic photography tour perfect for any skill levelThis was an incredible tour that I would highly recommend. Having lived here for many years, my tour guide (Zim) obviously has a deep understanding of the city and was able to give a true locals perspective. Despite being a total beginner at photography, the photo tour was perfect for me. Zim took the time to help me understand how my camera works, which settings would be right for what I want to shoot, and the fundamentals of photography. I feel this tour would be perfect for anyone with any interest in photography - from beginners through to advanced.Written 15 August 2024

Zim makes the most of your time, offering incredibly insightful tips and tricks that will make you reconsider what you think you know about photography! Tons of great information that would take too long to list, but the NYC locations are the perfect backdrops on which to practice your new skills.Written 29 July 2024

We learned a ton about photography from our awesome guide Zim and came away with some incredible photos from our experienceWritten 29 June 2024
- Miramar0 contributionsBrooklyn Bridge at NightI have taken a number of New York Photo Safaris over the years and have been lucky enough to work with Zim each time. Most recently I took the Brooklyn Bridge at Night safari. We shot not only the Brooklyn Bridge but the Manhattan Bridge as well. You stop at a number of different vantage points along the way to get different angles and perspectives. One thing I like about these safaris is that each one uses different elements of photography---for example in this safari I learned more about bracketing and also about using "bulb" mode on my camera. These were things I was aware of before but didn't know that much about using them. So this will enable me to use them more confidently on my own in the future. Zim is a wealth of information and can help you understand photography better and improve your shots. I would recommend a New York Photo Safari to any level photographer as I think anyone can learn something new on one of these.Written 18 June 2024

This was a great learning experience to understand composition and camera settings! As a native New Yorker, I know Central Park well but this activity gave me an even greater appreciation for the park. The instructor, Zim, suggested tasks and then provided actionable feedback to improve my photos. I highly recommend this for anyone looking to improve their photography while enjoying the park.

We wanted to highly recommend the Central Park Photography Tour. Our guide Frank really knew his stuff and showed the group how to capture beautiful photos of the park. We highly recommend it if you've been to the park many times or its your first trip to NYC--it's a new and fun way to experience Central Park and have beautiful photography show.

My daughter and I did an evening photo shoot of Central Park. Our guide/instructor was Zim and she was amazing. First, she knew both my camera (Canon d90) and my daughter's (Canon d50) and she taught us how to better and more effectively use our Cameras. Second, she was fun. We had a great time getting to know each other, talking photography, etc. Finally, we got amazing photos - some at sunset of the skyscrapers surrounding Central Park and some in the dark, using only light from the Park. We had a blast and I'm lookinig forward to going back and doing some of their other tours and taking their 5 day photo class. If you like to take pictures - book a photo tour with NYC Photo Safari

Zim was a pleasure, she knew how to unlock things from my camera I didn't know existed. Was able to think about how to take pictures in a whole new way and get the most out of every shot. Highly recommend to anyone looking to capture great photos of NYC

Zim is a great instructor! She met each of us in our family of 5 where we were in our journey toward becoming better photographers. I learned so much about composition, framing, when to zoom or not to zoom….. It didn’t matter if you had a DSL camera like my husband or an iPhone like me. She had us laughing and learning the whole time. Zim also did a fantastic job communicating with us before the class -she answered our questions and sent us clear instructions about where to meet. I highly recommend NYC Photo Safari.

Zim was an excellent guide. I went on 3 safaris in 4 days - central part, Times Square at night and Brooklyn bridge - and all were great! Zim is clearly a professional who knows her stuff and has a great, dry sense of humor that I completely appreciate!

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

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!
