My New York City Photography Reviews

Our group had a tight half hour window for our shoot, from everyone arriving from various places over the world to New York before our scheduled events.
Achim was early, consulted with me on how to make the shoot cohesive with a group who did not all know each other (we were there for a mutual friend's birthday), creative spots to capture images at the TWA Hotel where we stayed.
Achim was patient with us and captured some great memories of our friends milestone birthday trip. -Jeff

I can't say enough good things about Achim!! He was so friendly and gave excellent direction during our shoot.
The photos turned out wonderful. I would recommend him to anyone! -Angela

We enjoyed our photo shoot with Achim and are so pleased with the photos. He communicated well with us prior to the shoot and helped us select the best time and location. He was easy to work with and it was a great experience. -Heather Davis

Achim was an amazing photographer and we are very happy with our NY photoshoot and pictures. Thank you! -Teresa

I booked a shoot with Achim because he had a keen eye for fashion photography and photos with a bit of an edge. I was looking for headshots and Achim was able to capture the exact vision I had in mind. -Marco

Great! Achim was very communicative to set up all the details. He showed up early and had all the right equipment. We were able to get a great mix of shots and Achim knew all the right poses and shots to have a well-rounded shoot. -Michael

My fiancee and I first met as coworkers nearly 15 years ago. We were always good friends and really enjoyed each other's company. Many years later, and still only good friends, we took a trip to China to visit my mother, and we came back as a couple. I promised to take her to New York City when we first started dating because she had never been, and I had spent two summers in Manhattan obtaining a master's degree. Years later, after law school and the Bar Exam, I made good on that promise. So now, thanks to Achim working his magic behind the lens, NYC will always hold a special place in our hearts. I did not want to leave this monumental moment to chance. I wanted to make this moment memorable and having a professional photographer at the ready ensured a higher level of success. What better place to have a storybook proposal in NYC than Central Park?! I knew this is where I wanted the moment to take place, but Achim was instrumental in placing us at the Bethesda Fountain, the Wall Art, and other picture-perfect places in the area. -Derrick

We booked a shoot because we wanted to document our ceremony. It was wonderful. Achim did a great job and so happy we went with him. -Fathima

Years ago we had our engagement photo shoot in central park and would like to have a photoshoot with our children at the same place! Years ago we had our engagement photo shoot in central park and would like to have a photoshoot with our children at the same place! We had previously used Local Lens for our Paris trip and had a great experience. We booked Achim for our "full circle" photo shoot. It was great! Achim was very prompt and easy to communicate with. I think he helps us make the best of the shoot! -Trang

We booked a shoot to celebrate the end of chemo treatments. It was so easy to find and book through the website. Our photographer was terrific! -Lisa
