Hi, I'm Rachel and I love teaching photography.
I’ve been teaching photography to people from all walks of life for over 10 years, leading photo safaris in Africa and personalised 1:1's in the UK. I've successfully helped complete beginners right through to professional photographers wanting to improve their skills.
I understand that learning photography can seem very daunting and overwhelming - there are so many books on the subject and so many courses, you may just not know where to start!
We've put together a very easy to follow course that starts right from the beginning. It's even suitable for children. You'll be taking fantastic photographs in no time.
I look forward to helping you with your photography and helping you unleash the photographer in YOU!
