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.

Review by Father Paul, Minneapolis, Minnesota

"Want a worry free time with great shots. Call Leanne. Now. Going to New York for the first time, I wanted to capture the beauty of the city. I'm a priest by profession, but also a very serious photographer falling in love with the hobby. While birds and nature are my primary focus, I also love street and cityscape shots. A photo tells a story of a moment in time; a moment so often overlooked by us in our busy schedules. There's so much to see out there in life, from the bird in the tree, to the people on the street, to the cars that go by and the amazing architecture that's all around us. 

Let's face it, New York is big. Very big. So what do you see and when? Where do you go and what time? A guide book will only tell you so much. Doing some digging, I ran across another photographer who told me about Leanne, and I set up 2 days with her. I have a lot to go through, but I can tell you I know I got a lot of great photos because of her. We went all over the city at various times, worked with light, got some wonderful night shots, and I knew I was in great hands, not missing anything or getting lost. Leanne made a good trip great. On top of this she is a walking encyclopedia of New York, and can fill you in on the history too and the facts about things and buildings you are looking at. She also has a great personality too to make you feel comfortable. 

So if you are thinking to yourself "hey, I think I'll go photograph New York" just remember, this place is huge, and you can't be everywhere all at once. Leanne will take you where you need to go and when, and space out your time to create the experience you want, so you can go home with so many memories and photos of this amazing city. Her rates are very reasonable too, and well worth it. Don't be that guy who shot the Statue of Liberty at noon and then took a few shots of the skyline in bad light. Get keeper shots and make the most of your time in NYC by calling Leanne, you won't be disappointed." - Father Paul, Minneapolis, Minnesota.
