Coney Island has changed many times over the years. This photo was taken August 2009. While you won’t see John’s Deli there anymore, it is still fabulous fun to photograph. I often have private photo tours there.

Review by Ray, Manchester, UK. From a recent photo tour in Bushwick, Brooklyn.
“An Amazing Experience – Thoroughly enjoyed my tour with Leanne. She is a true professional, full of knowledge, knew the area extremely well and is an amazing photography coach. The street photography was great, but the street art that Leanne showed me was remarkable! Highly recommended.” – Ray, Manchester, UK
I am counting the days till the warm weather will return. Photos of Coney Island always give me a warm feeling even when the temperature is below zero. But either way, I do photo tours of Coney Island all year round.
Capturing the interaction between people on the streets is yet one more method of shooting street photography. This is a photo of three sisters. The oldest who is in charge of the two that we see, has her hand on her hip in a stance that displays who’s the boss. The middle girl is celebrating her birthday at Coney Island and holding on tight to her younger sister’s hand why they are both looking at their surroundings like they’ve never seen anything like it before. I do private photo tours to Coney Island all year round. You can find more information on my website.
The water in the sea at Coney Island isn’t warm in the middle of the summer. In the winter it is crazy cold. The Polar Bear Club swims every Sunday from November through April. It’s fun to get photos of them.
This is a film photo that I took in Coney Island, Brooklyn this summer. I still shoot film! Though not as often as digital.
Be Electric is from a photo tour in Bushwick, Brooklyn on a very rainy day. It is included in my recent photozine, City in Color which you can purchase online.
