World Trade Center photography makes learning effortless - Photography at the World Trade Center was just wonderful ! Zim obviously knew the area and led us to perfect photography sites. She looks at your photos and effortlessly makes suggestions for a better angle or setting for the photo. Painless learning and great afternoon.

The NYC World Trade Center Photo Safari is a great way to learn! - The NYC World Trade Center Photo Safari with Zim was outstanding! Zim is extremely knowledgeable in this field and is able to explain complicated concepts in such a way that a relative novice can fully comprehend. During the Photo Safari, I learned a lot about photography in general, with a specific focus on camera settings, composition, depth of field, lens filters, etc. Zim was also very patient, provided detailed advice, answered all of my (many) questions thoroughly, and helped me to capture some great photos! This was a very valuable experience and one that I highly recommend.

Awesome Photo Tour in NYC! - My dad and I joined this photo tour with Zim and we had such a great experience. Zim taught us so much about the physical camera as well as the process of taking photographs. We learned many basics and techniques that we can implement going forward in our photo taking endeavors. We have a better idea of the functions/functionality of the camera and how to be more mindful of what we are capturing. We are very excited to use what we learned in this photo class going forward and would highly recommend NYC Photo Safari (and Zim) to photographers of all levels looking to learn new skills and capture the city!

3rd time, and already looking forward to the 4th - I had the opportunity to be in New York City on the 20th anniversary of 9/11. So I booked a tour with NYC Safari. It was about a 5 hour session. First meeting on the NJ side for the sunset skyline, and to see the memorial lights during blue hour. Next we headed into the city and had the opportunity to take shots from almost directly under the memorial lights. This might sound odd but it truly was a unique and pretty awe-inspiring experience. Just seeing the lights go up for eternity from the base is not to be missed. Then the group headed over to brooklyn to shoot the night skyline. Truly a really fantastic time. Zim, our tour guide, did a wonderful job guiding is around. This was my 3rd time working with her, usually I do private sessions but only had this one opportunity to do has a group. I was really happy to see the kept the group really small I think there was 6 of us total. Looking forward to the next time I am in NY.

Great Experience at WTC - Our WTC Photo Tour was a great experience! Zim (our expert/guide) was patient, knowledgeable, and professional; providing individualized instruction and guidance on all things photographic - Camera Use, Theory, and Composition. I learned so much, and will keep the three rules to heart. I also want to thank NYC Photo Safari for being proactive and changing our date/time due to impending inclement weather. We enjoyed a rain free tour, and made it home prior to the highways flooding! I would highly recommend NYC Photo Safari for all levels of photographers and visitors to NYC.

Get the most artistic shots of the World Trade Center and the Oculus - We've been on almost all of NYC Photo Safari's trips, except this one. For this adventure we got to try out Ricoh Theta 360° cameras and got pointers on how to take and process the images all on our smartphone. Excellent instruction by Zim and two Ricoh reps helped everyone with setup. A great time was had by all the participants and we all got some nice shots to take home despite cloudy weather during most of the safari.

Great learning experience - Zim was so knowledgeable! She taught me so many features on my phone camera that I never knew existed! She was patient and had me looking at buildings in a whole new perspective. We were in a group of 4 and got plenty of attention and help. Would definitely love to take another class with her!

Photo Safari At The World Trade Center - Zim was the friendly, professional and an outstanding tour guide for the photographic safari at the Work Trade Center. She knew about my camera, the best places and techniques to outstanding pictures of the Oculus and World Trade Center Fountain.
She is also knowledgeable about the reconstruction of the World Trade Center post 911.
You will not be disappointed when you take a photo tour with Zim.
