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 Michael & Susan, Northamptonshire, UK

A tour for anyone looking to improve their photography skills - My wife and I recently participated in a street photo shoot training and tour of New York City, led by Leanne It was an exceptional experience.

What set Leanne’s street photo shoot training and tour apart was her genuine love for street photography and New York City. The six-hour tour was a whirlwind of exploration, with Leanne expertly tailoring the experience to our interests. Her focus on areas genuinely captivated us, making the tour personal and engaging, leaving us with a unique and unforgettable experience.

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. Leanne's meticulous planning and knowledge of accessible routes ensured that my wife could comfortably navigate the streets without making us feel rushed. Her thoughtful consideration made the tour a smooth and enjoyable experience for both of us, proving that this tour is a welcoming experience for all.

Her clear and concise directions were not just instructions but stepping stones to significant improvement in our photography skills. Her invaluable tips on composition, lighting, and capturing the essence of street life were not just easy to apply, but they ignited a spark of creativity in us.

Her approachable teaching style made even the most complex concepts understandable, and her feedback was always constructive and encouraging, fueling our motivation to learn and grow.

This tour is a must for anyone looking to improve their photography skills, whether using a modern iPhone or a small camera.
