- Do you dream of printing our own work but don’t know where to start?
- Want to learn what’s involved before you invest a couple of thousand in a printer?
- Do you print your work already and find yourself disappointed when your print looks nothing like you expected?
- Are you wasting time and money reprinting images, getting frustrated, only for them to end up in the bin anyway?

From Rachael:
“I am a strong advocate of the printed image. Printing is an integral part of my creative process. The excitement of seeing an image in print is something I never tire of. Printing for yourself gives you complete control of the finished image, from the immense range of media options, to the thrill of watching the image come to life as a ‘real’ object.
I really enjoy sharing my knowledge, skill and experience of photography, printing, nature and travel with others. I take a relaxed, welcoming and inclusive approach to the way I work and believe firmly in embracing the fun, passion and creativity that the art of photography is about.”
Rachael has a Masters degree in Fine Arts, is an Ilford Master, Ilford Certified Printer, Sony NZ Digital Imaging Advocate, and an NZIPP Master of Photography with 1 Bar.
