I approached Leanne through Flickr when I wanted to come to New York because I admire her work for a long time now. I wanted to do a photo walk with a photographer I admire and who could take me off the beaten track instead of just booking one of those run off the mill options available on the internet. I wanted to see the real New York and from what I know, Leanne is certainly capable of showing that. Lucky for me she responded with much enthusiasm and we made a plan that included Brooklyn (Williamsburg, Dumbo, Coney Island, Brighton Beach), Queens (Long Island City), Manhattan (Lower East Side) and took two days to see. Leanne is an enthusiastic, kind and truly inspiring personality and not only has she shown me that side of New York that I longed to see, she also taught me a lot about photography. I can say that I've learned to look with different eyes (although I could probably never see the way Leanne sees something and translates that into a photo that emanates soul and emotion - that is truly a gift), I've learned to control my camera better (I am no longer afraid of the Manual switch) but I also feel that I've gained a friend. I'm coming back to New York, and when I do, I definitely want to go out there with Leanne again. And in the mean time I would like to recommend everyone to go on a photo walk with Leanne.

Looking at Leanne’s photos is like music for my soul. Her work not only reflects a skill that has been honed over four decades, but it also speaks of an artist with great character, honesty and a distinct gusto for life.

Looking at Leanne’s photos is like music for my soul. Her work not only reflects a skill that has been honed over four decades, but it also speaks of an artist with great character, honesty and a distinct gusto for life. It is difficult not to be inspired after careening through her wonderfully vibrant portfolio, which takes one on an architectural tour around the world from Barcelona to Montreal and back home to Manhattan again. Thanks for being so passionate about your work. The world needs more people like you. Regards, Lorenzo!

Leanne is one of the first people I started to follow on Flickr, as well as one of the first Flickr friends I actually met. I have been following her work for the past three years and have been delighted by how she has moved from an emphasis on architectural photography, to a focus on people in the street. Her work is always striking and captures the essence of what she see's. In addition to being an admirer of her work, I have also found her to be a generous and welcoming friend. I am delighted to know there is a kindred spirit walking the streets of cities capturing the zeitgeist of the times! I look forward to many more years of watching her work.

The Queen is the Queen! Her reign over flickr will never come to a close.

Andare in giro con Leanne e vederla fotografare e' piacevole. Spesso non mi rendo conto di quello che l'ha colpito e che ha deciso di rendere permanente con la fotografia. Vedere poi i suoi risultati spesso resto senza parole. Trova situazioni e scene (che dal vivo sembrano normali e banali) molto spesso interessant… Read more

Andare in giro con Leanne e vederla fotografare e' piacevole. Spesso non mi rendo conto di quello che l'ha colpito e che ha deciso di rendere permanente con la fotografia. Vedere poi i suoi risultati spesso resto senza parole. Trova situazioni e scene (che dal vivo sembrano normali e banali) molto spesso interessanti e ben realizzate. Una vera Regina della strada. Brava!

For sure is not that easy to write down a testimonial for a Queen... I can just say that her picture are clearly the result of a special passion, a great attention to the urban environment, her photography is clear, strong, sometimes direct and crude, but never boring and when is a well known point of view to be seen s… Read more

Leanne is really, REALLY, the Queen of Manhattan Street Photography. She's picturing Manhattan and New York City like no one else, showing us NY icons from a different perspective as well as places off the beaten tracks. She's experimenting and she's obviously having fun doing it! She always surprises me and my daily v… Read more

Leanne is really, REALLY, the Queen of Manhattan Street Photography. She's picturing Manhattan and New York City like no one else, showing us NY icons from a different perspective as well as places off the beaten tracks. She's experimenting and she's obviously having fun doing it! She always surprises me and my daily visits on flickr would'nt be complete without a look at what's new on Leanne's photostream.

Leanne's work is full of excitement and experimentation; two things that that I find both appealing and important in an ever growing body of work. A lot of times it seems that the images she takes run parallel to mine! I find this both humorous and quite the honor. We seem to miss each other by a few days! All in all, … Read more

Leanne's work is full of excitement and experimentation; two things that that I find both appealing and important in an ever growing body of work. A lot of times it seems that the images she takes run parallel to mine! I find this both humorous and quite the honor. We seem to miss each other by a few days! All in all, her subject matter is always interesting, her technique is excellent, and I value the fact that I can see her work continue to evolve and inspire me to evolve as well.
