I hired Kevin Hayden for a photography walking tour of the Latin Quarter in Paris. My goal was to receive a practical introduction to manual mode (ISO, Aperture, Shutter Speed) in a picturesque setting, and that goal was met. I took photos and did photo-exercises and received immediate, insightful feedback and suggestions for improvement. Kevin's coaching style is sincere, calm, positive and helpful. As we went from photogenic spot to photogenic spot, Kevin and I developed a rapport and understanding, and I experienced a confidence in him as a photographer. I asked if he would be interested in photographing me, as I don't have photos of myselfand I wanted mementos of my vacation in Paris. He quoted a fair price and we had the photo shoot a couple of days later. I am pleased with the photos he took of me. He helped bring out genuine photogenic expressiveness from me, and helped me minimize my flaws. After my vacation Kevin sent me high-resolution images from my photoshoot, and I am enjoying them. My expectations were met and I am satisfied with the photo tour and the photo shoot, and would hire Kevin Hayden again.

What a wonderful introduction to our week in Paris! Richard was the perfect guide on our tour through the Montmartre area, showing us interesting places not frequented by many tourists. It was only our family on the tour, so the children received individual instruction on the manual settings of their cameras. This made a huge impact on their photos for the duration of our holiday. Well worth the money.

Richard provided a great deal of helpful information on lighting and composition, all the while commenting on Paris history and places. We didn't know to bring information on our cameras, but understand that will be added to the info sent out prior to the event.

Richard taught me so much about my camera and photography. It was a wonderful way to wander a lovely part of Paris, seeing the street life through the lens and learning much about the area as well. Thank you Richard.

Wow what a great tour! Kevin was our guide and his knowledge and witty sense of humor made the day very special. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the beauty of Paris thru the eyes of a professional photographer.
