- stevemN7809MY0 contributionsAn exception experienceZim was great. Lots of insights and framing advise for some really great pictures of Manhattan. Amazing, detailed knowledge of every camera's features. She quickly helped each attendee use many of the hidden functions on their Canons, Sony's, Fuji and others that were unknown to most of us. A fun trip that allowed each of us to test new ideas for some outstanding shots. Thank you. Steve MWritten 16 January 2025

- alicepQ9034UC0 contributionsAmazing tourAn amazing tour, Zim was very helpful. We learnt more about settings on our cameras and where good places were to take photos in New York and the best methods to do so. We went to Rockefeller, empire state and Central Park.Written 14 January 2025

- I2717HJstephaniea0 contributionsIn for a treatI recently had the pleasure of participating in a photography lesson tour in Central Park, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! From the moment we met our instructor, Zim, it was clear that we were in for a treat. Zim was not only knowledgeable about photography techniques but also deeply passionate about the beauty of Central Park itself.Written 29 December 2024

- zhomartm500 contributionsLoved the workshopZim was amazing! I loved the photo workshop in NYC. I'm a total beginner with a Fuji camera. Previously my photos used to be Boring (as Zim noticed). But now they are definitely not Boring ™. I'll do this workshop again!Written 23 December 2024
- hoppelamaus0 contributionsPhoto tour Manhattan with Bob 👍My husband, who has many years of photographic experience, booked this tour to explore beautiful photo spots and possibly create a different perspective/viewpoint. Surprisingly, we were the only two participants to be guided through Manhattan by photographer Bob. Especially in New York, you get distracted by so many subjects, but Bob showed us great details that are easily overlooked but actually make great photo motifs. The two got on well and exchanged ideas. Bob was a great tour guide and it was a lot of fun. We had a very interesting and exciting afternoon. We can recommend this tour to anyone who wants photos that are not mainstream.Written 14 December 2024
- Camma0000 contributionsA new way to look at Central ParkHad a great time on the photography tour. David our guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable about the park. I picked up a lot of tips and tricks for creating amazing photos, and learnt a lot from him .Definite must do when in NYC.Written 11 December 2024
- nicoleu2030 contributionsGreat Experience Rekindling My Photography Hobby with ZimThis was a really cool experience! Zim is knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and not only knows how to take a great photo but can explain what makes it great and how to get similar results. I took some film photography classes in high school and wanted to get back to a hobby I used to enjoy but figured digital would be a more practical version. I signed up for the Photo Safari to gain a better understanding of how to use my camera effectively and get some tips to tweak my composition. Zim really helped me figure out the camera (and told me about all the better technologies that have developed since I bought the camera) and took the time to explain some of the more technical aspects of composing photos, which I found really fascinating. She broke it down in a way that was easy to understand and gave me practical tips I could immediately apply. I highly recommend this tour. I will hopefully be purchasing a camera made sometime this decade and can't wait to put everything I learned into practice!Written 9 December 2024
- Amine E0 contributionsGreat experience with ZimI had the most amazing experience attending a photography safari with Zim in Central Park! Her expertise and passion for photography made the session incredibly engaging and educational. She shared valuable tips that helped me see the park’s beauty in a new light. Zim’s friendly and professional approach created a fun and inspiring atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore photography in a unique way!Written 7 December 2024
- 167jonathan0 contributionsAwesome tour with Zim(brilliant tutor)I wanted some Iconic views of New York and I got so much more than I bargained for! Zim is a very personable and knowledgeable professional photographer. She challenges one’s view of how to take pictures and shows that her way produces great pictures with greater ease. I did both the Iconic tours, and she looked after me, showed a great place for lunch and enabled me to get the type of pictures I wanted. Once jet lag has disappeared, I look forward to editing these pictures. I would whole heartly recommend these tours and the teaching of Zim. I would definitely book, again if I was coming back to New York.Written 3 December 2024
- elimarr20160 contributionsGreat experienceI 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.Written 29 November 2024

It was a great tour! I learned so much new about photography and that in the beautiful surroundings of NYC. Zim is not the typical tour guide and this is not a tour that let's you do the usual photos from NYC icons. Zim is a professional photographer who shares a lot of tips sometimes simple, sometimes more difficult to implement, but always adding to your tools. I can recommend any of Zim's tours highly to anyone who is a decent hobby photogrpaher and wants to learn really useful things about perspective, composition and night photography!

Fantastic way to improve your photography skills and to enjoy the city without worries and waste of time. Zim has been a fantastic tutor and we definitely enjoyed NYC even more because of her. If you can book a provate tour - definitely worth the investment.

I’ve just returned from the 3 day boot camp workshop after going on many of their photo safaris over the past 3 years. I’m always thrilled with my images when I get back, this time was no different. They’re fantastic at getting us to the best locations at the best time - and also unique spots I’d never find. All the instructors I’ve had make sure everyone has great images.
My favorite sessions are the bridges at night. I’ll keep coming back for more!

We packed so much into three very long days and I learned many useful shooting techniques including how to use my own camera much better. My highlights were the three night shoots we did and the time we spent walking over the Brooklyn Bridge. The night photography in NYC by itself was worth the price of admission. Zim and her team of photographers are extremely talented and knowledgeable and they opened my eyes to architectural photography by teaching me creative ways to capture unique images of buildings in NYC. This bootcamp is a great way to learn how to use your camera better and capture some amazing shots of NYC. Highly recommend.

On September 15th,16th and 17th 2017 I was fortunate to have attended Manhattan Photo Boot Camp - 3 full day session. Each day, the photo sessions started at 12:30 pm and ended approximately 10:30 pm each evening touring every part of Manhattan in every direction. It sounds like alot but each day just flew by. The instructors were incredibly professional and patient. They imparted their vast photographic knowledge, taking their time to explain the composition and reason/purpose of each shot. It was a lot of information and I definitely grow as a photographer.
I want give big thank you Zim, who took her time to answer all of my question not matter how insignificant. She help me "think outside the box" to examine some of my preconceived ideas and in a new light (no pun intended...not). Thank you, Thank you Zim for opening eyes and ears and to new ideas and images. Your generosity and support was very much appreciated.
Anyone who is thinking of taking a 3 hours or 3 day session with NYC Photo Safari, you will not be disappointed. Enjoy !!!
