"I just returned from a Workshop with Kacau Oliveira and I'm speechless to explain such happiness. My photography confidence has changed 1000%. They were practical and theoretical classes that added immense knowledge. I recommend it and I'm already planning to participate in the next ones. Kacau is fantastic."
"Spectacular. Everything designed to enhance the photographic eye. Theory and practice applied simultaneously. My photographic records and digital prints have definitely reached a new level!"
"Kacau is a wonderful person, as well as an excellent professional. She shares her knowledge with everyone who participates in her workshops. You really learn from her teachings. Kind, polite, friendly, and extremely punctual. Taking her workshops is a huge gain in knowledge, both technically and about birds. Unmissable."
"I've known Kacau for many years; we've gone birdwatching together many times. She's someone who always gives her all. When she started doing workshops, I didn't waste any time and went. I loved it! She shares so much information that I've taken many more, and in each one I learned more about photography, image processing, positioning in relation to what I wanted to photograph… She explains things in a light and relaxed way. She imparts important teachings that have made me very happy with the photos I take today; I feel confident in the subject. But that doesn't mean I'll stop taking other workshops with her. She teaches more and more, and I learn more and more. She even teaches macro photography in her free time between classes. She delivers complete knowledge with clarity and certainty that you've understood everything. I will always follow you as long as I can, Kacau. Below are two photos (still on the computer, which I took recently). So happy with your teachings, Kacau! 🙏🏻"
"A dream come true. But it's just the beginning. I intend to do other workshops with Kacau in different regions and biomes. Now I can say that I'm really getting the most out of my equipment's capacity. She teaches in a simple, uncomplicated way while awakening us to the possibilities of records that an environment, light or bird can offer. Excellent professional!!"
"I took a photography workshop with Kacau in the Pantanal and it was incredible! She's excellent, super attentive, and very patient. My photos have improved a lot! I highly recommend her workshops. I will definitely take more."
"I participated in Kacau's bird photography workshop and it was an incredible experience! I learned a lot about capture techniques, equipment, and composition. What impressed me most was Kacau's ability to convey her knowledge in a clear and accessible way. Before the workshop, I had difficulty capturing images of birds in flight. But after Kacau's tips and guidance, I was able to improve my photographs. Kacau is a very kind and dedicated person. Her passion for photography is contagious, and she is always willing to help and share her knowledge. I highly recommend Kacau's workshop to anyone who wants to improve their photography skills."
"Excellent professional with extensive knowledge. She perfectly controls her area of expertise. Learning with her is easy. In addition to her competence, she demonstrates great friendliness, good humor, and charisma. I highly recommend Kacau!"
"Kacau is an excellent professional. Her technical knowledge of photography, both in image capture and editing, combined with her visual perception, composition, framing of scenes and scenery, understanding of natural environments and the elements and interactions we can experience and feel there, are paramount in terms of learning. The photographic expeditions are perfectly aligned for the photographic experience, with locations carefully chosen to make the most of each moment. All this is enhanced by her unique personality. 100% recommended!"
"I participated in Kacau's workshop in partnership with Aves do Sul in 2023. It was an incredible experience! The guidance is super personalized and the field trip is fantastic. She is always extremely available to answer questions. She even taught about macro photography. I can only thank her for her teachings and dedication!"
"WorkPhoto at Lagoa do Peixe was wonderful! Rapha and Kacau were fantastic, very attentive, they know the place very well, great tips and advice, everything was fantastic!"
"It was a wonderful experience, we will carry it forever in our hearts and on our memory cards 😁 Kacau is an excellent professional, she helped us a lot in the field, always with great enthusiasm and knowledge! In addition to knowing everything about editing, she gave us a thousand tips that greatly sped up the process of organizing our photo albums."
