I recently visited NYC, and took the Central Park photo safari with Zim, Zim was great, the group of 10 was just the right size that Zim could spend time with us all. I am a complete novice but interested, and I learnt a lot from Zim and have now started to look at photography from a different prospective producing... More

We had a group of about 10 and the instructor really did a wonderful job finding out what our needs and interests were and helping us to all meet our personal photography goals! I really learned a lot and had a great time!

I took the Wall Street Safari with Zim. There were just two participants, so it was a very private tour. Zim gave us very useful tips, a lot you need to know about your camera,

I really enjoyed Zim's photo safari in Central Park. I was visiting NYC on my own and I was looking for things to do, I'm a budding amateur photographer and I thought what better place to learn a bit about my camera and photography in general then in central park. Zim is hilarious and quite blunt, which as an english... More

I had the pleasure of taking two photo safari's with the NYC Photo Safari, no doubt two of the best workshops I've ever taken on photography. The safari's on which I participated were: - Museum Inside Out - Madison Square Park First off let's start with the fantastic instructor Zim. Zim is both patient and very knowledgable on photo composition,... More

My husband and I did two safaris with Zim. Zim was great really making sure we were getting the best out of our cameras, learning how to compose great photos and learning some tricks of the trade. We would really recommend the night time safari.

I highly recommend doing a NYC photo safari. It's a lot of fun and very interesting. I originally signed up for the downtown/ city hall safari, but as it was raining, I was given the opportunity to reschedule for another day. So, I ended up doing the NYC: The UpShot the next day instead. Zim, our instructor, was great and... More

I have now been on three of the photo safaris and all have been great experiences. The most recent one, NYC the UPshot was probably my favorite. Zim is a great instructor and guide and is gradually getting the message through to the right side of my brain that i can see things a little differently through the camera lens.... More

My wife and I have been on four of these safaris and they have all been great. Our instructor, Zim, is not only highly qualified, but has a very pleasant personality and is always very patient with novices like me and more seasoned hobbyists. She has always given personal attention to everyone, even when the groups were a bit larger.... More
