Photography Tour Review

We really enjoyed our time with the instructor and he did a wonderful job explaining how to use the camera, it's options, framing a picture and much more. My wife and I definitely learned a lot and would highly recommend the experience.

Washington DC Photography Tour

My husband and I absolutely loved the DC photo tour! I got it for him as a birthday present since he loves photography and bought a really nice camera last year, and doesn't get too many chances to use it. He learned a lot of new tips and tricks from David, and we both had a great time. It was also a great chance to go around and see the monuments that we hadn't been to in awhile. I would recommend this to anyone who is into photography!

DC Photo Safari

We were really pleased with E David Luria and his DC Photo Safari. As an experienced photographer, I was worried that David would be tailoring the safari to a more beginner-focused class, but was pleasantly surprised to find out that David recognized our experience and taught us a few things in the process! The walk took us to a lot of great places and David really taught us some great techniques for capturing them in all of their glory. I would recommend this experience to fellow photographers and even want to look into other things David has to offer!

Excellent photography instruction (both basic and medium advanced), good tour of select monuments and the Mall in Wash DC. Well worth the time.

DC Photography Tour Review

I thoroughly enjoyed the 'safari' as it is called. It was a good mix between technical SLR instruction and composition techniques using the camera's capabilities. I would like it even more if another stop or two was added by reducing the time a bit at the other stops. The instructor, David, was very patient and knowledgable. No question was too basic. I'm looking for my next class to take.

This was an outstanding tour. I learned more about my camera and how to take pictures with it in three hours than I learned in 10 hours of reading and research. David Luria really knows his business.

Washington Photo Safari

The Washington Photo Safari was a good way to learn more about travel photography while visiting several good sites in DC for photographing visitors. The information is practical, but is geared toward the beginner to intermediate photographer. The instructor, David, knows all kinds of cameras and is able to help you with your specific model. It's an entertaining way to see DC through a lens and to refresh the concepts taught in photography classes.
