"Rachel is an amazing teacher!! As a beginner photographer I have a lot to learn. She was able to go through basic concepts as well as communicate more advanced topics with me, depending on my knowledge of the subject. Her graphics and style of teaching was really easy to understand and even in a short period of time I gained so much. She truly is an expert in her field, 11/10 recommend!"
