This was a great workshop with one on one interaction. I would highly recommend this workshop, it was a lot of fun and I learned a lot.

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.

Whilst I have a preference for street photography I am actually very nervous when taking photos of strangers. I learnt so many techniques and was blown away with Leanne’s wealth of knowledge and experience.
Read MorePersonal attention and great experience - Street photography workshop Mid-town Leanne pointed out many interesting subjects, helped set up the photo, reviewed and made useful suggestions.
Read MoreLeanne knows NYC! She did a great job of orienting the group to Chinatown. She knew the best places to get great images! She encourages creativity!
Read MoreI would highly recommend her as a guide.....in fact i am thinking about my next tour with her.
Read MoreLeanne was able to make me feel comfortable with taking candid pictures of strangers. I definitely recommend Leanne’s workshops!
Read MoreGreat 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.
Read MoreLeanne is a wealth of local knowledge and very passionate about NYC, we learnt so much from her during the day. If you love photography and want to see the real NYC spend the day with Leanne, you’ll love every moment. Next time we come back I’ll be doing another tour with Leanne for sure.
Read MoreHer suggestions on composition and her approach to taking candid photos of people we came across were pure gold. It was fascinating hearing her talking about the history of some of the buildings and places. There is so much you would miss just walking the same streets by yourself.
Read MoreI came away from both tours seeing more of New York than I would have done on my own - including the art, people, and musicians in the subway system - and a lot of images I know I'll be pleased with. And listening to Leanne's helpful comments I found ways to improve my street photography.
Read MoreWe 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.
Read MoreLeanne also really helped us get comfortable in the environment and interact with our surroundings through the camera. It really made me more confident in capturing the essence of Harlem.
Read MoreFantastic! I booked a 4 hour tour/photography session with Leanne on recent visit to NYC. I was visiting NYC with my high school senior son on Spring Break. His passion is photography. Leanne toured us through Lower East Side. She taught him techniques/ tips to shoot Architecture and capturing the people of NYC.
Read MoreLeanne was very good at assessing my capabilities and interests and flexing the day to meet these. Even as a relatively experienced photographer I learnt from both talking with and watching Leanne at work.
Read MoreHer knowledge of New York as a licensed tour guide was a big add too. Highly recommend. Great experience.
Read MoreIt would be hard to find a better way of experiencing the streets of NY while simultaneously learning more about the art of photography. Will definitely do this again when I next visit New York
Read MoreLeanne 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.
Read MoreBest way to experience NY and do Street Photography - With 5 colleagues we had a great time. Leanne showed us NY at a different way, not the usual tourist attraction but the stories and history of buildings, neighborhoods, street artists and their art.
