You are one of the few youtubers who discuss 'photography' rather than 'gears'. Thank you.

It’s mind-boggling that this type of high-quality content is available for free on KZfaq. Thanks so much Sean.

Those images of hers at the end are incredible...

I'm so pleased you can find some grounded photographers for us to listen to. A great 25 mins, thanks both.

I come to these videos to be a better a photographer, but walk away feeling like a better person. Thank you Sean & Rachel.

I feel like her final words are exactly the type of thing that we need to hear today. We see too many people claiming that you can "get rich quick" through photo and video. And while there are some people who do become very successful quickly, it's just not the reality of so many creatives. It takes time to become successful, but because of the constant stream of messages that "we must be successful in our twenties" we sometimes think that we are failures when in fact we are on the road to success.

Rachel is very inspiring and gives valuable information. It is very generous of you Sean to have shared this video with us.

Everyone wants to do what they love and not have to worry of the financial impact. I loved this because she clearly states the sacrifice that this entails. It is not easy and will demand from you. I love photography but won’t quit my day job. Obligations are not necessarily a bad thing, I love mine.

Really inspiring to hear that her career was a slow process

This is absolutely for people like me who’s starting this coming new year with new career on being a Full Time Photographer. Thank you for your mind freeing words.

Your channel is an island of knowledge amidst a sea of November/December ad-driven click-hungry KZfaq noise. Great insights from Rachael and lovely footage on your part. Thanks once again for a great video! - Cheers from Greece.

I felt she was talking to me. Thanks for the advice Rachael and thanks Sean for introducing her.

"Five" was an absolute banger

What an incredible photographer and person. She is so down to earth and humble, yet so incredibly talented. Thankfully she found her way out of that office and where she really belongs. She found her calling and a happiness most of us will only dream of.

Such a generous person, and a gifted, passionate photographer. I've had the privilege of attending 2 of Rachael's workshop on the Sussex coast. She has a keen eye for composition, but more importantly, she recognizes each photographer's strengths and focuses her efforts there. I've had more success working with Racheal than any other photographer. Thanks, Sean, for profiling this most unique and exceptional photographer.

Brilliant! I was a lawyer for 16 years completely unfulfilled. I get it. This video is for anyone struggling to do something completely different. Replace lawyer with any other unfulfilling job you are in. Then follow Rachael's formula. Do it over and over until you find your happiness.

I watch several youtube channels for tips and new ideas in photography, when I want inspiration, this channel is where it is at. Thank you Sean

Sean Tucker, you’re one “helluva” guy! Thanks for telling stories with such depth, inspiration, and meaning. Authentic is the word that comes to mind whenever I view your videos. I’m grateful that God put you in this space at this time. Thank you.

Sean. Again. Kudos for not grabbing the spotlight with your audience but instead finding and sharing to work and stories of other inspiring artists all across this spectrum of creativity!

Thank you Sean Tucker for bringing up the Photographer and the Person of Rachel Talibart!!!! She is such an inspiration.

I felt like crying watching this. So inspiring

Inspirational journey and stunning images. As someone looking for new skills and new directions, (especially, as I’m not getting any younger) it’s stories like Rachael’s and her advice, of taking the process slowly and letting one’s photography grow organically, is really helpful....

It’s refreshing to see a realistic look at what doing photography is like. So many people have a romantic notion of what its like based on the hot KZfaqr of the day when the reality is discomfort and disappointment 75% of the time.

I put off watching this as I thought it would be one of those 'instructional' videos of finding your photographic niche. Instead, what it did is start an internal dialogue of what I wanted to do next in my life. I'm now at a transitional phase, with a new baby in the family and serious thoughts of leaving a comfortable corporate career to pursue my calling in photography. But very rarely does your calling allow you to make a decent living and that thought has always been plaguing me for years. But what Rachel has shared has given me and probably many others who are in the same situation as I am a certain sense of hope that, yes, it's possible. Thank you Sean for putting this up on your channel and Rachel for the insights we rarely get from other successful 'transitioned' photographers.

Never in my entire life had I seen anything maginificently beatiful like her work

I’m binge watching this channel. No photography course is gonna tell you all this. I’m so so grateful for KZfaqrs like you who teach people like me. I owe ya’ll everything!

I watched and listened.... intently.... absorbed.... and then Boom.. the images.... oh my goodness.... amazing... so good... so beautiful. Sean.... you make the most amazing films. Brilliant.

After listening her story and found all of those images at the end of the video made my mind exploded. Instant admire to Rachael. Mr. Sean, thankyou for this kind of content! This video is beyond priceless for me. I'm grateful to find your chanel.

Rachael is one of my favorite photographers "out there". I absolutely adore her work. Great interview!

I love shooting all sorts of things, which is both a blessing and a curse. I’m fascinated with many different subjects in my day to day observations, but i have yet to fully commit to any particular niche or style. Rachael’s passion and her patience and perseverance with the craft are positively inspiring. I want to be able to feel the rich joy and love that she feels in her space. Thank you for this video.

A master class to not only find direction in photography but in life. "Be kind to yourself and grow organically"

I'm not a photographer. I'm a painter and this resonated with me so very much. When Sean described the process at the video's outset, he was describing where I find myself. Then when Rachael recounted her journey, she hit upon the same experiences I've had with my art and what I've realized. I'm on the brink of letting go of the work that's paid the bills and raised a family. I see the light now and I'm anxious to get there, but there are a few more steps to take before that day. Thanks for the encouragement Sean, Rachael and the folks who've added to the narrative.

Thanks Rachel and Sean for making such highly valuable content for me

I relate to your process as a photographer. I listened to this thinking I need to find a formula to refine my journey as a photographer only to feel justified in my own similar process. Thank you, now I will embrace my journey as a photographer.

Like all Sean’s guests I could listen to her for hours. It’s rare to find an interviewer that doesn’t want to be the star of the interview and one of Sean’s many - many! - talents is to let his interviewee and their message shine.

Rachael's message especially the build up towards the end was like balm for the soul. Lovely video, Sean.

Sean what I love on your channel is that through time you evolved towards a philosophical approach to photography. No gear stuff and measuring ... inches ... and pixels in them or cheap tricks to advance your photography. Finding your direction or sight in photography is the hardest part in it. It is very personal. Congrats on where u are pushing your channel. One of the few photography channels .. not gear ..

It's lovely that she resists the temptation to be 'fast paced'. She allows every part of her workflow to take its own time rather than taking control of it. Her photography journey and process is wonderful.

This is the kind of material that is uplifting, provoking and so unique. Thank you for the great content you put every time.

Thank you Sean. I’m happy to have listened to Rachael, a sentiment that rarely happens to me watching videos on KZfaq. Her photos at the end of the video are gorgeous. I’m not at the point yet that I feel I need to choose a direction. I picked up street photography as a hobby after the lockdown in the Czech Republic was lifted and I needed something that pushed me to be outside every day. Which I did, and I’ve been shooting continuously since June. Often with your advice in the back of my head. When the time comes, I’ll find this video and watch it again. This time, though, with more experience in my luggage and a perspective from which to apply Rachael’s words to my own situation.

Wise women have the best advice that should be taken to heart. Such as Rachel's. Pure gold.

Also, what an loveable and vibrant personality she has. I already admired her work, but now I admire the woman. I could listen to her forever!

These series focussing on individuals and their photography quest is absolutely outstanding, and something that all photographers can learn a thing or two. We are much more educated and learn more from these than watching endless drivel about camera gear and criticism from KZfaqrs like Tony Clickbait BS or the American Chipmunk (Fro). Thank you Sean.

Rachel's story and her honesty show throughout the video. She approaches her subjects and lives with the image in a most novel and transformative manner. Outstanding.

"be kind to yourself". Those words are very comforting. Thanks for another great video.

I literally teared up at the end with those words and those photos...

A wonderful interview. She has created beauty in her life. The photographs are amazing and tell a story of their own. The images in them look like haunting entities.

hi sean, maybe you wouldnt see this message, but this video calmed me in my soul. for a very long time i havent had this sort of calm and stillness and acceptance of myself. i saw myself in rachael and something changed inside of me. i have tears in my eyes now and things became clear to me. thank you for this

"If you’re going to try, go all the way"

Sean? You have a tremendous talent for finding conscientious artists. I'm constantly grateful for that, and the work you do with it. I've found a favourite of your channel so far, thank you, to you both.

One of the better and inspirational videos I've watched. Rachael true and honest perspective was an eye opener. Thanks Sean for this feature and hope you feel better.

Thanks Sean. Photography is a passion for me that is caught up in a whirlpool of excitement, disappointment, frustration and anxiety. This video made me feel at ease.

OMG I work in a law firm as well hating every moment finding really hard to do the transition! Sean please make a video about this, the transition between a well paid/salary job to self-employment. How and when practically people do this?!?! Thank you for this video! Amazing as always!

I'm speechless. The only thing I can say is thank you Sean for having introduced Racheal Talibart.

What struck me most about this video was the maturity that comes not only with experience, but age. When you look at the majority of photographers who are on youtube today, its all about content and how much content you put out there. Its refreshing to find someone that seriously considers what to publish, and when to publish it. I take hope from this that I can also make a go of this photography thing, but also at my pace and my current life circumstances. Thanks again Sean for your thoughtfulness in picking wonderfully diverse people to share their stories with us.

I made exactly the same mistake at Sheffield uni. It took me one week to realise I shouldn’t have done law. Like Rachel I stuck it out. After graduating I travelled the World and changed course. Became a landscape photographer, family took over for a few years and now I’m trying to find the time to re-focus on projects that I’ll find fulfilling. Can totally relate to you already Rachel.

This video just showed up at right time. I've been overwhelmingly exited about initiating my self as a photographer and filmmaker. Trying to make people know what I'm about to start doing, my family members made me stop for a moment and realize that I was taking it too fast too soon. Too fast for me to really have a clear idea of what exactly I want to end up doing with this new experience, and too fast for my "social media friends" to understand why from doing health and fitness content suddenly I'm a photographer. To be honest I feel kind of lost and insecure right now but thankful for those who helped me realize the obvious which I wasn't seeing. As she wisely said, I still in my early twenties and don't know exactly what I like and what I don't. Thanks for putting this out, it truly had an impact on me!

Her advice at the end made my eyes water a bit. Loved this video and her thoughts about everything. Her photos are amazing! I feel lost at sea while looking at them yet I know she took them from the shore. I think that adds into her story from the beginning perfectly.

What an awesome video. it's a classic sean tucker video, it takes you on a beautiful journey of storytelling, beautiful cinematography with the beautiful background score. and powerful and beautiful images in the end. that makes you emotional and leaves you in awe. such an inspiration @Sean Tucker. hats off to you my friend.

Thanks for introducing Rachel to us Sean, I wasn't even aware of her work, which is just stunning. What I took from this was her editing process, waiting weeks to come off the high so she can look at her work more objectively. Then of course, printing, and living with your own work before general release to the world. The outcome in taking such a measured approach is evident in Rachel's work.

A wise and lovely personality, with some exceptional skills. Her love for photography is quite inspiring.

Wonderful, honest and down to earth. The best information available for 'us' wishing to be good at this.

Just wow! I loved watching this. The execution of your videos is so different and refreshing to other content I watch on KZfaq. Rachel was so humble, honest and a pleasure to listen to. Thanks for sharing with us and she's gained one new follower

This is the most incredible photography channel on the internet. Thank you Sean!!!!!!

Thanks for the film. I appreciated her journey and your film making. I hope you can bring more such stories.

What a lovely feature, this video. I love how she explained, especially at the end, how she moved from being a lawyer to photography. I've seen my share of friends do the, "tomorrow, I'm going to X" (whether photography or not) without a plan of how they're going to do it or make the transition. And many have failed. When I got back into photography in 2011 after a 20 year absence, I made the conscious decision that I would NOT make this my profession. I had taken a hobby and turned it into a business, and after 8 years, hated it so much, that I've only now started showing any interest in that old hobby...9.5 years after closing my business. I didn't want that to happen with photography. Finding direction for me wasn't as difficult as I though it would be, just took some trial and error. Some things I hated, others were OK, others paid but I wasn't passionate about it. Settled on portrait work, even though I'm somewhat a misanthrope. Ironic. Thank you again, Sean, for making these introspective videos. I really look forward to them.

I'm parked up in my campervan facing the sea with my camera just watching the waves and shooting away as I've been inspired by Rachael's work for a few years. then the rain comes in so I make a coffee and decided to watch something on KZfaq and this pop's up! Thank you so much Sean and Rachael, I resonant with so much from that interview, very, very inspiring. x

Wow! This video really spoke to me. Thank you for coming up with such insightful content. And Rachael, thank you for giving us permission to journey through this slowly and organically, but also to not worry about how life is steering us, to just go out for half an hour if that's all we have. In a world that seems to be pushing you to do more, this was comforting.

Rachael is so lovely and wise. It was just a pleasure to listen and the photos are just incredible!

Best content I have seen in a very long time. Thank you, Sean.

Thank you Sean for this extremely captive and motivation message from this extraordinary women. She said something that many other channels don’t, she stated how if you are young explore life first before deciding and to be cognizant of your financial commitments and family obligations. She talked about not being in a hurry or even really looking at the photos and just soaking up the environment for inspiration and just letting it happen, fantastic. Her though process of not deleting photos right away and keeping them to only realize that what wasn’t interesting that day could be a motivation step and photo for another time. I’m sure it has taken her time to unlock what was inside of her. And more importantly follow your passion and if it takes paying for a course to unlock it is money well spent. Great guest and fascinating prospective, Master Teacher, Sean Tucker.

What a truly lovely lady ...... thanks for showing the person behind the name and the photograph .... it’s often a real surprise. Rachael is truly inspirational ...... and reassuring for those of us bumbling along in photography wondering where our real direction lies.

Wonderful interview - the time flew by. In this hectic world a quiet, calm message of being kind to yourself and enjoy what you do really resonates

“Do, or do not, there is no try” I kinda live by this thought in everything I do. Like Rachel, my photography has taken a similar journey which has led me to landscapes. I’ve decided to let my photography sit second in my food chain though, simply because I’m happy where I am in my life right now. Who knows? maybe that could change......... A wonderful piece Sean and Rachel, food for thought.

Thank you. I have to say I have started to lose hope in my direction with photography. After years of searching for the passion, it has left me. But there is something about you and this story that is very striking to me. Quickly, back in, wow, must have been 1999 or 2000 I was on a vacation. Hated my job and one morning I went down to the rock on the edge of the water. I watched the water crash on the rock and my eye began to see things in a frozen moment. Similar to Rachael's images. And that was a moment of regrowth to a passion I started five years before that. But life went the way it did and constantly I searched for a direction in the photography journey. And to this day I am still hopeful but have to admit I am exhausted in trying to find it. There was one thing she said that struck me and maybe it will help. She said that she has her photography days. Days where no matter what the weather is she is going out. So I will look at that and see if that will work for me. And the crashing of waves once sparked my passion for photography in me so again I might live that same drive to the passion that she has done. The ocean has a similar meaning to me as it does to Rachael. I didn't spend my time on sailboats but spent my younger years by the ocean in Long Island in NY. I have this one place I always went to and would sit in my car for hours watching the inlet where the ocean would meet the bay. And never was it the same thing and it always brought comfort to me. Thank you Sean, you are a true believer in living the photography dream.

So rarely do I have the occasion to listen to somebody so grounded and mature in his/hers view of life and work. There is not much point in big changes. Take your timeto know what do you actually want.

She’s awesome! And Sean you’re awesome for sharing this with the world. I think loads of people benefit from this type of content. It’s the things we never talk about, but they’re so important to hear for people like me, who would like to ease into professional photography.

This was awesome! Love Rachael"s work. A while back I commented on one of the platforms about wanting to see a behind the scenes of her working, and she responded, mentioning that someone was doing a profile. I guess this is it. Wonderful! Rock on!

This is exactly what I needed to see today. I have already had a successful 35 year career as a professional photographer in which i achieved everything I set out to do. After 15 years building another successful business that will take care of me financially beyond my life time, I have the burning desire to photograph again. And I now live right at my two favorite subjects, the ocean and mountains. I have ordered the equipment I will need, and I am ready to go. I will be following the advice of shooting, then waiting to look at my images before making any decisions about them.

Rachael is one of my favorite photographers. A real talent, a poet with a lens.

Thank you so much for sharing this interview, Sean. This was possibly the most powerful interview/highlight of someone I've seen in a long time. The value in this interview is not simply from a creative standpoint either. Whatever your goals or passions are - the items discussed by Rachael are completely meaningful to anyone. Again - thank you so much for sharing this.

Love this! A rare, truly inspiring person. I hope this is me when my children get older.

Why would anyone give this delightfully honest and pleasant photographer a thumbs down! Excellent video, thanks for sharing your experience Rachael. 😊

A beautiful story. The first half of the video was a bit slow. But in the second half, where she describes her days by the sea, was incredibly inspiring. All of a sudden I was reminded why I fell in love with photography, and how beautiful it can be to spend hours by yourself with a camera, just taking photos without any pressure or achievement in mind. Thank you Sean.

Thanks Sean and Rachael. More of these stories please. That's inspiring!!!

This was absolutely the best video about photography I have ever seen. Thank you so much to both of you! This video has touched me as I relate to it so much right now as a new photographer with a new family that works in the city with all the weight of world as well. I'm not the best with words but I just want to really say thank you!

I can't begin to tell you how inspired I feel right now by Rachael's story. Her work is amazing and it really does help me to keep going out and learning despite not knowing my direction. I've been very uninspired for two years and almost stopped but this has certainly got me motivated for that time I will find my calling.

Fantastic film. Inspiring. I won't ever be a pro but the idea of slowing down, letting it happen organically, taking off the pressure and just enjoying has struck a chord. Thank you Sean and Rachael

Man it amazes me that you post everything I need to hear at the right time

Encore une très belle vidéo, la découverte, pour moi, de cette photographe est un grand plaisir! Tks Sean!

I discovered Rachel Talibarts photos some months back on Instagram. I then visited her website and was simply blown away. Here is a photographer who has found an unique niche for herself and she excels at it. This talk from her was inspiring at so many levels. The most important take away for me here is when she said to take time developing your photography. Its a slow process requiring a lot of patience. I have been guilty of being depressed at times when I think that I am not moving forward at a much faster pace. But i respect the fact that I need to go out much more and take more photographs. That's the only way to learn. Thanks Sean for introducing to us the face and character of the person behind these amazing photos.

Great story! Printing my images has been one of the biggest helps for me becoming a better photographer but Rachael has helped me take this one step further. I generally print an image then look at it for a few minutes and put it away in the closet. The idea of hanging the print on a wall to "live with" for a few weeks is going to take this to another level. Thanks!!!

Sean, another inspirational video, so incredible, thank you!

Interesting point about leaving time between taking shots and editing them. You get a much more unbiased view of each shot and not swayed by the euphoria of the moment. 👍

I enjoy that everything you teach can be applied to any craft. It’s life philosophy. Not just photography. (I’m a leather crafter)

One of the best journals I have watched in ages. Thanks Sean and thank you Rachael.

Needed to see/hear this at this exact moment. Thank you 🙏

Brilliant! Practical, visual, and heartfelt. Thank you for sharing.

Such amazing, practical, and wise advice. Thank you, Sean, for introducing and sharing Rachael with us.

thank you Rachael for being open and honest, for sharing your wisdom. Thank you Sean for the great video!
