“Joseph was amazing from start to finish! Was so warm and welcoming, guiding us through Times Square to all of the best spots, giving suggestions and all round making it an amazing experience. As two people who aren’t amazing being in front of a camera, he immediately put us at ease. The photos and videos we have from our trip are ones we will treasure forever and are truly stunning! It made for an unforgettable experience and we can’t praise Joseph highly enough. If you’re looking for a photographer when visiting New York, he should be top of your list”

Learn to use your camera while photographing Central Park’s best spots with a local pro in a small, practical two-and-a-half-hour workshop.

“My 15 year old son took the “tour” and learned so much. It’s definitely more of a workshop with lots of instruction on how to best use your camera features. The small group size (in his case only 2 people) meant everyone got individual time. His instructor was super experienced and got him thinking on how he could use this hobby to earn a living.”
