My Mission


"My mission is to help photographers shoot, process and print with confidence from start to finish.


I help people to explore traditional techniques with curiosity so that they can develop life-long skills and expand their photographic practice by using these magical, creative processes."

Cait Walker


“Finally the penny dropped!

I'd been on other courses before to learn about analogue photography, but had never quite GOT it.

They all felt very complicated.

Rachel was the first person who explained it in a way that I found clear to understand and now I have the confidence to start creating in the darkroom on my own which is an amazing feeling!”
