Take your photography journey from generic to this is my voice
I believe every photographer has a unique artistic voice, and sometimes you need a bit of help to find it; it can be a nudge, a gentle push to find your ah-ha moment. These office hours and full-day intensive are exactly that: to help you define your artistic voice and align your business to your personal brand

You might have only just started your photography journey, or need help redirecting your business to find passion again in what you do
My photography journey started more than 20 years ago, and I would be delighted to share my experience and creative vision with you to help you find your direction.
These sessions are for the photographer who wants clarity in their creative practice and help to develop their unique voice and brand. You bring your questions, your portfolio, your ideas, and your doubts. I bring two decades of photography practice and education with zero interest in shortcuts.

About
Rachel
I'm a photographer. I have an obsession with everything about photography. This is my story
After years of dabbling with a camera, I decided to learn photography for good and went back to university in 2009 and completed a Master’s in fine art at the University of West London in 2011
Personal Projects: 2011- 2014: Women who volunteered in the services during WWII; 2018:Women who reinvented themselves after 50.. 2020: Women in Quiet Rebellion
Portrait Business: I have been a portrait photographer since 2016, working with personal brands, creative businesses, and private clients. Visit my portfolio here
Limited Edition Prints - An exhibition about Artemisia Gentileschi at the National Gallery in London has helped me evolve towards conceptual photography, and the Women in Quiet Rebellion art series was born from that. I have sold art prints on Artfinder and Saatchi Art.
Cherie Blair Foundation: I was a mentor for the foundation for 3 years, helping women creative entrepreneurs in developing countries with their business strategy.
Read my blog every week; I write essays about photography, places, and the art of seeing to help photographers develop their artistic voice and create from the heart.

One-on-one
Strategy Zoom Call
I can’t wait to hear about your latest project. What makes your heart sink? Where do you want to take your photography practice next? Am I here to help you develop your artistic voice and become the photographer you’ve always dreamed of being.
IMAGINE….
Feeling ecstatic? You’re finally reaching out for help!
It doesn't matter if you started using a camera 2 months or 3 years ago! Sometimes you need help. A lot of people in the world of photography education teach about technique, gear, and cameras, which is great. But this is not what I wanted these strategy calls to be about. I believe every photographer has a unique artistic voice, and sometimes you need a bit of help to find it; it can be a nudge, a gentle push to find your ah-ha moment.
The good news is that I’m here to support you all the way on your journey, providing guidance, going beyond the dream to make it happen, and helping you build a powerhouse artistic voice that stands out so you can make an authentic contribution to the world!
I’m your guide and accountability partner for that journey. Are you ready for the ride?
What to expect
01 You fill out a questionnaire
You'll fill out a short questionnaire beforehand so I can come prepared. Then we get 60 minutes together on Zoom. The first part of the session is about looking closely at where you are now. I will ask questions, reflect back what I see, and help you notice what is already emerging in your work.
The second part is about direction. We will turn the conversation into clear action steps, so you know what to do next.
After the call, you will receive a short personalised summary with your main insights, suggested next steps, and creative prompts to keep moving.
You will also receive the session recording so you can revisit the conversation whenever you need.
02 Knowledge or skill gap?
Launching a photography project
If you have an idea but do not know how to develop it, we can shape it together.
We can explore your concept, subject, visual references, mood, location, format, sequencing, and possible outcomes — whether that is a portfolio, exhibition, book, newsletter series, or long-term body of work.
Finding your photographic voice
If you feel stuck, derivative, or unsure what makes your work yours, we can look at the deeper thread running through your images. We can identify recurring themes, emotional patterns, influences, visual language, and the message you may not yet have put into words. This is for photographers who want to stop chasing trends and start making work that feels more personal, honest, and alive.
Starting with film photography
If you are new to film, we can look at where to start without getting overwhelmed by the technical side.
We can talk about choosing your first film camera, understanding exposure, selecting film stocks, working with natural light, slowing down your process, and building confidence with analogue photography.
This is ideal if you want to shoot film with more intention rather than treating it as a nostalgic aesthetic.
Need help with your personal branding?
Do you want to build a brand that represents you and a business that aligns with your purpose? Do you need direction, inspiration, a plan of action, or all of the above to walk away with a strategy and guidance to get you starting with your powerhouse brand and purposeful business? This is for photographers who need help to get clarity about their personal brand.
