SNYC has had hundreds of very satisfied customers from all over the world on our tours and workshops! See their reviews here and on Trip Advisor.
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 is charismatic, clever, clearly loves NYC as a source of ever-interesting neighbourhoods and opportunities to snap something in-the-moment (but of eternal note) and proved an encouraging teacher, light-touched yet really instructive.

Read MoreThe workshop was a lot of fun - we would have liked every day of our stay a different district explored with her :)

Read MoreLeaned reflection shooting techniques which gave me a new way to look at things. A lot of walking and so much to see. Worth the money.
Read MoreShe was the perfect guide, both for photography instruction and history of New York (fun facts, nothing stuffy, and always tied in to great spots to photograph). It felt more like catching up with a great friend than taking a tour.
Read MoreShe helps you to take pictures and you are shooted by a pro. Very nice!
Read MoreWe meandered through the East Village and Soho, as Leanne shared stories and history and great photography tips. A perfect relaxed pace, with enough flexibility and spontaneity ("let's pop in this shop") to make the whole experience uniquely our own. Highly recommended.
Read MoreJust the right touch from someone who knows and loves NYC and is good at engaging people where they are. This is not canned stuff -- a tour personalized to my interests.
Read MoreWe loved the way she inspired us to find motives around us on every street corner and we will without doubt book her again for our next trip to New York!
Read MoreI'd done two other photo tours with Leanne and had been pleased with both so I arranged to see Coney Island with her. . . Coney Island has so much to offer a photographer and Leanne knew all the places to go.
