The workshop was great, I learned a lot. Had a great time. I got lost in the streets of NY. Leanne congratulations your knowledge and passion for photography makes me keep
doing what i'm doing and don't give up. I fully recommend this workshop.
I have provided walking photo tours and street photography workshops for hundreds of visitors to NYC and New Yorkers alike. These are some of the reviews.
Review by John, United Kingdom
I really do need to say a big thank you for taking me on board and guiding me through the streets of New York. I have started to look at the photos and I am reflecting on the time I spent with you. As I reflect, I realise that what you have to offer is invaluable and goes well beyond simply identifying possible photo opportunities. New York was really my first attempt at Street Photography and you taught me so much. I know I was probably more focused on the buildings than the people but I did take in everything you said and I did learn a lot. I came home much wiser and a much better photographer for what you taught me. In the days after the workshop, I found myself using what you had taught me and more importantly looking at what was in front of me with a completely new perspective. I came home a much better photographer and for that I will always be grateful.
As I think back, I will become increasing appreciative of the time you spent taking me to the boxing club, the bar and the street photographer. This added a completly new dimension to my experience and added much depth to my awareness and experiences of the city. Thinking back, these were invaluable occasions and I find myself talking all the time about them. They have certainly become a focal point of my discussions with people. I love being able to say that I met local artists and saw things a typical tourist may not see. I would love to return some day and have you show me more.
You may be interested to know that The New York Times published an article on Thursday 8th Dec about Advent Calendars. The relevance is that they talk about the most expensive one being one produced by Tiffany which is based on the “Equals Pi” work of Basquiat. I was so pleased that you had introduced him to me and had taken me to see the art at his studio. I do not care about the Advent Calendar at $150,000 but I am so pleased to be able to say I was at the door and I saw the work on the wall. A big thing.
Thank you so much again, for everything. You really did make a difference to my skills, my perspective and my insights to the world of art.

Leanne's tour was not just accommodating but a true testament to inclusivity. As a person who relies on a mobility scooter and with my trusty small camera, I felt cared for and considered throughout the tour.

We spent two half days and one full day with Leanne in September. We were able to explore New York in ways we wouldn't have been able to on our own.

And that it had rained in the morning and we were able to do lots of reflections was just a bonus. Worth every penny! I'll do it again next time I'm in NYC.

My brother and I took the Brooklyn bridge photo tour with Leanne and had an incredible experience! Leanne is very knowledgeable and personable- made for a fantastic 5 hours.

Although I believe her to be mainly a street photographer, she helped me get the iconic touristy photos. Get a history of NYC while shooting some photos at a slow pace. I would highly recommend using Leanne for any of her tours.

Great experience
Learned a lot.
Would recommend it any time
Leanne did not disappoint. Not only did we get some great shots that we would have never found on our own but, we also learned some great new techniques that we can use going forward. I can’t recommend Leanne Staples’ tours enough, and I can’t wait to come back again and try a new area with Leanne.
