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.

Great Photo Shoot - Zim was a great instructor. She is very knowledgeable and gave me a lot of pointers to improve composition. She also demonstrated a variety of ways to enhance my images by using and explaining various features on my camera. I am an intermediate photographer and felt Zim's suggestions definitely added to my skill set. Highly recommend!

Manhattan Photo Safari - fun and learning experience - On my Manhattan Photo Safari, Zim my instructor was fun - we had a few laughs at me being a greedy photographer, knowledgeable - shared tips on using my camera in auto mode, friendly - shared a tip to calm down anxious New Yorkers. It was a learning and fun experience. Highly recommended for tourists and residents a like.

Excellent experience - Learned a lot about composition and was able to take some great pictures Zim is very knowledgeable and helpful in giving pointers to improve my photographs

Awesome adventure!! - Jim is a fun and dynamic teacher with excellent photography skills and experience. She was very patient and attentive to me even though I am a novice. It's a great way to get to know NYC!!
