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.

Great time in lousy weather - I attended the Buswick street art / street photography tour with Leanne this past weekend. I don't think I have ever learned so much so quickly.

We had a great afternoon taking photos and walking around Chinatown with Leanne. My daughter has taken up photography as a hobby and it was great to have Leanne teach her about street photography.

Leanne is a fearless street photographer, and sometimes you might be a little intimidated by her bold actions, but she helped me overcome my apprehension about getting up close to my subjects.

Leanne is very engaging and knowledgeable in photography which made the session fun and informative. Being ‘local’ she is also knowledgeable about the local neighbourhoods explored and offers a different perspective.

She's encouraging and ready to help with camera questions. Plus it's like having some sort of private tour of the heart of a neighborhood. I'm going back for another workshop someday.

Really enjoyed my workshop. First, Leanne made sure we were all sufficiently knowledgeable about our cameras and the best settings to use. Then we got an introduction to street photography and good tips on the techniques to use.
