WHAT CUSTOMERS SAYS ABOUT MY BUENOS AIRES PHOTOGRAPHY TOURS

Spent 3 hours with Nicholas and a lovely pair of dancers photographing in several Buenos Aires neighborhoods. Pre-session, Nicholas was exceedingly prompt with his responses to my email questions. During the shoot he exhibited a sincere interest in being certain that the experience was meaningful to me. He offered technical advice that was helpful. This was probably one of the finest photo experiences I've had. Nicholas is more than five stars!
John Gauder

The group had an excellent time with Nicholas. He showed us his favorite places around Buenos Aires during golden, blue, and twilight. He was patient and help us with composition, exposure, and lighting. I would highly recommend him for anyone with limited time in the city and interested in quality photos.
Rudy Muy
USA
I went on a Photo Tour with Nicholas! It was such a great experience! I not only learned a lot about Buenos Aires. Nicholas made it happen that my camera and I became friends. I got inspired to experiment more with my camera! Thank you so much, Nicholas, I will come back for a Photo Trip in Argentina!
