I’VE BEEN ON MANY COURSES, WORKSHOPS AND HAD 1-2-1S WITH JACKIE – ALL EXCELLENT!
I totally recommend Jackie Rado as a photography teacher. I’ve been on many courses, workshops and had 1-2-1s with Jackie on a whole range of topics, in class and on location. All excellent.

THE PREVIOUS COURSES WERE EXCELLENT, THIS WAS THE BEST SO FAR!
Today's "Capturing the decisive moment" was my third course with Jackie and while the previous two were excellent, I felt this was the best so far. Good mix of explanation and practice and a group size that allowed one-on-one assistance or guidance when needed. This certainly won't be my last course!

JACKIE TURBO-CHARGED MY PHOTOGRAPHY SKILLS
Having one-to-one time with Jackie turbo-charged my photography skills. We were able to concentrate on the areas I have most difficulty with. She showed me, shot by shot, how to close the gap between what I was getting from the camera and what I actually wanted to get. These are the lessons that you really retain.

Armed with my first DSLR I attended a series of Jackie’s courses and literally my eyes were opened to what I saw around me, how I saw it, and the capabilities of the camera.
