A great way to experience this city! - If you’re a budding photographer and want some different, non touristy photos from your travels, then I highly recommend taking a you’re with NYC safari. I booked not one but two tours in the space of a week and always look back to the photos I took!

Above and beyond - Zim did a great job. Gave us clear instruction before showing exactly what to do to create some cool effect with flash and get some nice "take home" shots I Time Square. She was happy to give us extra time and made sure we had a good experience.

Great tour, learn a lot - Great tour around Times Square at night. Learned a lot about night time photography in the city! Tourguide Zim brought us to some iconic locations and took more than enough time to explain very clearly how to improve in certain conditions and locations

Highly recommended - An excellent tour with Zim. She knew all the perfect locations so it saved me a lot of time scouting the place. And every shot i took was a learning experience. If i had time i would've taken another one of her tours.

My Second Time Back - This is long overdue. I headed back to NYC during Thanksgiving and we wound up staying in the city. I had done the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridge shoot with Zim the beginning of March last year, so when I had an opportunity to rebook for NYC after dark, I jumped on it. Zim was again my tour guide so I completely lucked out. Her willingness and technical expertise was fantastic. I did a private session and this time allowed me to focus on the technical aspects of my speedlight (SB 700), blur, and composition in the middle of it all. If you are looking to get some iconic shots of Times Square, street photography all at night this is your ticket. Again, this was really long overdue, but when I am back in NYC I will be rebooking NYC Photo Safari for another excursion.

Great photo tour with an amazing location and lots of new skills learned - This tour and the Iconic NYC daytime tour were the highlights of my trip to NYC. I first though the tour would be more a guide to best locations, but it was so much more. The real bonus was how much I learned about night photography. Zim was our guide and she is the BEST! Looking forward to taking more tours in the future.

Great experience learning something new! - I live right across the river in New Jersey, so I know the City very well, but I signed up for the Times Square at night workshop because it was sounded interesting and was something I've never done before (In fact despite coming to NYC often, I had not been in Times Square for years).
We had a small group which allowed our tour leader, Zim, to spend a lot of time providing suggestions and critiquing our work. Zim was fantastic at explaining the concepts at hand and really emphasized "dumbing down" the technical terms to make them easier to understand. I appreciated that because not all workshop leaders do that. Lastly, she's hilarious and kept us laughing all night.
Clearly NYC Photo Safari targets out of town visitors but as a local I really enjoyed the workshop and would definitely recommend it to everybody.

A great way to capture the city! - I've been to NYC many times and this was the first time that I took a trip to Times Square and was amazed by the photos I was able to create. Times Square--and NYC as a whole--can be overwhelming to photograph no matter what skill level you have. Zim is a great instructor, great photographer, and a great teacher. She made the process of learning the fundamentals of what's happening in each shot really simple and understandable as well as giving great advice throughout the tour. I came into this tour trying to get out of a 'photography funk' and was just looking to capture the city in a different way. Taking this tour helped me get out of my funk and taught me some new and fun techniques that I can use regularly. Even though this is a night tour, you will definitely learn techniques that you can use in any lighting situations. As I have told numerous other people since returning for my trip: this was worth every penny! I loved this tour, and can't wait to go on others in the future! Thanks, Zim!
