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 way to explore East Harlem. I've always wanted to brave it out seeing and shooting Harlem but afraid to do it on my own as a solo traveller. Leanne's workshop and the small group we had in El Barrio was a great way to explore the vibrant colors & sights there.

Leanne taught me very useful street photography techniques (framing; shooting from the hip) and I enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks to her I could improve my techniques a lot - up to a higher level!

What could be more enjoyable than spending a few hours taking photo's of New York? Spending a few hours taking photo's of New York with someone who knows all the best places to go! Leanne's tours are more than just taking photo's though.

Shoot, See & Learn. We spent an afternoon with Leanne down in the Lower East Side. We saw part of the Manhattan that we wouldn't otherwise visit.

This tour is the best thing that I have done in a long time. I did the Greenwich/Soho tour and was able to explore more during the week. Next time, I want to do the Barrio tour. Maybe in the spring? Can't wait to come back and do more

I came away feeling more comfortable about shooting people and eager to practice my new skills during the rest of our stay in the US. The tour had a relaxed pace, and Leanne was great company to spend an afternoon with - by the end of the day I felt like I’d made a new friend!
