The Washington Photo Safari is a unique and fun experience. I have been on 3 safaris with David Luria and found him to be an excellent teacher and a knowledgeable photographer. David knows cameras, techniques and composition. He knows all the spots to get the greatest shots. He even injects interesting tidbits of history about the memorials and the city... More

Washington Photo Safari delivers every time whether you're a beginner or experienced photographer. David Luria works with you individually at your particular level. Locations are great, especially for big events. David set up a great place to shoot fireworks at the always crowded Cherry Blossom Festival. Consistently great instruction at a very reasonable price.

E. David Luria may be a great photographer but his teaching skills are what makes him special. He begins with a brief overview of getting the best out of the camera. As the walk and photos begin he spends time with each person and their camera assisting on improving your work. He is familiar with every camera. It is a... More

Several years ago I went on my first "photo safari" with David Luria and discovered that it was an excellent way to learn to use my camera and to take better photographs. At the same time it got me to those places in DC I've been meaning to get to but never did, and sometimes to places I didn't even... More

David is the best! I have taken 57 photo safaris over the past 10 years, and because of David and his other very knowledgeable instructors have made the photographer that I am today. David offers a wide-range of safaris locally and out-of-town and for all levels of photographers – something for everyone. With David’s expert guidance and instructions, he teaches... More

I took the late afternoon Cherry Blossom photo safari and it was the highlight of my trip to D.C. Our group was larger than expected, perhaps over a dozen people, but it was the first week of the Cherry Blossom festival. Our guide, David, a professional photographer, gave us a short overview of composition basics with photos of examples. He... More

Very misleading on their site - said it was 3 hours, wasn't even close - maybe 1 1/2 hours at the most - Was handed a sheet with good tips and other useful hints to take good photography. We got on the boat with others who weren't on our tour. Never got any tips from the guide on the boat,... More

Had a marvelous day on the Washington Photo Safari. It was everything we had hoped for and more. After years of taking amateur photos, David explained f-stops and white balance so we could understand how to use these. He gave us advice and showed examples of composition and how to best position people in a photo. Spent the half day... More

I have owned my Cannon 50D for a year and thought that I could teach myself how to use the manual settings. The reason I bought the new camera was to take my photography to the next level. We spent the first hour and a half practicing settings and understanding how to use the settings on my camera. The next... More
