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.

It waswonderful to get an overview of New York and it’s geography and history and being shown some unique parts for photography. I would highly recommend it!

The 3 hour tour, filled with great advice from a professional photographer as well as interesting facts about the neighborhood, was a highlight of my weekend. Normally I would not do a photo shoot in Harlem so it was interesting to get her perspective and visit a new area of the city.

The conversation flowed freely and widely, from approaches to photographic style to life in the Big Apple. Highly Recommended

A great way to see this famous city through the eyes of a local, find places you may otherwise miss, those you wish to return to and find out on your first day that the Subway is easy, NOT scary and a much faster and cheaper way to travel across town than a taxi!

Leanne, I wanted to thank you for your expert assistance on our photoshoot in El Barrio and Harlem on June 25, 2015. Mike, Bruce and I got some excellent shots we would not have gotten if it weren’t for your guidance through these interesting areas.

Highly recommended and very reasonably priced, I hope I get chance to go on another tour one day!

Leanne showed me various places that I wouldn't have read about in tourist guide books. She has an easy going personality and talked to the people that we met along the tour.

While it was interesting to see and hear about the main attractions, it was her local knowledge which was invaluable as she told us about her favorite spots such as an out of the way deli where we could sit down with locals instead of hanging around a deli full of tourist traffic.

She certainly did not disappoint! We had a fabulous day pounding the pavements (make sure you wear comfortable shoes!) ;-) with a wonderful guide, who was also good company! Not only did we learn about the neighbourhoods as we wondered but amazing photo opportunities kept presenting themselves and I have some great shots to show for it.

"The result was the idea of photographing people in repose while coupling it to the action and energy of the city. I have some images I like and they would not have even been considered if not for Leanne’s guidance."

"On photography, which is really what brings us here, I can only say that I would have missed quite a few details of the Harlem without her tips in the tour. One can sense her photographic thought and use it to one's benefit; I felt that I changed my photographic approach to capture defining characteristics of the place."

"We were given choices of times and places that fit our needs, she picked us up at the hotel and arranged the tour so we ended up where we needed to be for our next stop.

"Leanne is a great companion who brings her own enthusiasm for urban/street photography to each experience as she finds her own photographs.
