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

[@StreetShots79]

Cough "Art of Photography is now completely unwatchable and Ted Forbes sold himself out for views" cough...........

[@guhmhgkei]

He ultimately makes us understand the gear, no matter how advance, is but a tool. The heart and idea behind the picture is what it counts.

[@rahulbanerjee8867]

Any other channels/KZbinrs who discuss 'photography' as an art rather than a technical exercise?

[@ZaritaTheFloridian]

Thank you for this perspective. This resonated with me since, like her, I am not in not in my youth, I am more mature with still plenty of energy and ideas. And recently, after analyzing what to do, I realized I needed to follow my dream. However, unlike her that kept her nice day job until she was ready to strike out on her own, I lost mine due to tbe pandemic. So I decided to create my day job and working on it. Related to the field, but will allow me to work on my craft till I can make it. The loss due to the pandemic gave me the best silver lining of my life and forced me to refocus. Thank you for showing het story. Thank you for showing the possibilities. I loved what she said about letting things sit aside for a while in her editing process. The documentary was really well made too, with beautiful visuals and music. The pacing, everything well done.

[@EtienneVogel]

Yes Yes Yes!!!!

[@webmaster4ZLCB]

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

[@Old_Man_Jay]

What's even more surprising is how this guy doesn't even have 500k subs yet obnoxious KZbinrs with giant fros have well over a million and all they do is advertise shit we don't even need.

[@MD-fq8xl]

I second that THANKS SO MUCH Sean!!

[@-ca--]

@@Old_Man_Jay Two years later, he has it.

[@NeilWaybright]

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

[@jamesurzykowski4918]

I agree the photographs are incredible. At first I was thinking the beach area reminds me of the type of beaches in Florida, boring. I remember watching, years ago, the movie Ryan’s Daughter. It was filmed in Ireland. The story was good but I will never forget how beautiful the scenes along the ocean were. The same goes for the west coast of the United States. When you can take a boring landscape and make it something extraordinary you have vision and talent. She is a great photographer!

[@suehodnett6911]

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

[@gravity_dog]

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

[@lostintransitphoto]

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.

[@asherhuskinson6815]

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.

[@sjsphotog]

most photogs are very poor and can barely scrape by. Fine Art Photography is very hit and miss. it might be MONTHS before you can sell something and all that time and effort and $$ you spent on a project is just sitting there like unsold inventory....not a good feeling

[@duartemad]

What hit me the most was "specially in your twenties, how are you going to find your voice? You dont even know what you like at that age." I'm in my mid twenties and it made me think "shit, she is kinda right" just two years ago I thought I had matured alot and defined what I was. So much happens and changed in two years that, after her observation, makes me think I still have a long path to walk to actually "get to somewhere", and that somewhere is far from a solid "destination". Things happen in life, you experience and learn new things, you meet new people that open new outlooks in life's prespectives. People say life is short... It isn't really, its just the way you live and think about life that makes it seem like its short. I really like taking photos but sean's videos are not just about photography and videography. They are deep works of art that, if you really pay attention, make you question your hobby as a way to look at life. When he does a piece with another good photographer, he really knows who to pick, not just based on their work, but on their outlook of photography and life. Its just proof that photography is not just about taking pictures, its how you picture the world with you eyes.

[@spektrograf]

Definitely agree with the sentiments in this thread. So much of the culture of today is for finding "success" in the immediate, but so few have asked themselves, "Is the concept of success they have the one that matters?" ​ @Unrelated Mad Two years after your post here, I wonder how your perspective has changed. While I agree that time and experience gives an artist depth in perspective, I think there's value in the journey all along the way. I don't know your work, but wonder if you're already "somewhere", and that somewhere is valuable because it is just the now of the journey. Henry Miller had written, "One's destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things."

[@ChrisVidouras]

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

[@joenewton2085]

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.

[@mnjnth]

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

[@samchartrand8226]

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

[@cjrosales809]

"Five" was an absolute banger

[@andydean9479]

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

[@RichardRostant1]

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.

[@RachaelTalibartPhotography]

Richard Rostant Hi Richard. Thank you! What a wonderful thing to say - that means so much to me. It’s been an absolute pleasure to work with you.

[@RichardRostant1]

@@RachaelTalibartPhotography Sorry I misspelled your name in my comment. Oops. Looking forward to December 2020.

[@ko300zx]

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.

[@pinkomega1384]

[@rodericklhsheriagh]

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.

[@OlZi72]

Roderick Hairston really true

[@patryklau]

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.

[@RachaelTalibartPhotography]

Patrick Lau Thank you, Patrick. Sounds like you’re at an exciting stage. Good luck with it all. :)

[@markzelinskiphotography3768]

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!

[@nickreece9361]

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.

[@sjsphotog]

yeah me too i shoot it all and dont have a focus. Im a roamer and shoot what I see thats available but need to start personal focused projects.

[@kopal317]

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

[@mattallengroupatREAL]

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 KZbinr of the day when the reality is discomfort and disappointment 75% of the time.

[@darrenmwinter]

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.

[@mason7031]

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

[@trickied7310]

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....

[@yanpermana8685]

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.

[@stanc846]

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

[@MadsPeterIversen]

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

[@manospapas904]

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

[@sherwinh1661]

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

[@clevepage]

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.

[@benlamy1]

That was absolutely excellent, and quite honestly everything I needed to hear. Thank you to both of you for producing this!

[@mattb4624]

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.

[@gplatakis]

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

[@grabtharandhishammer8251]

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.

[@alliepeplin4]

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

[@peggybrown4783]

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

[@DavidFleet]

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.

[@stevesvids]

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.

[@OnMyOm]

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

[@saalikreynolds3064]

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

[@TL-xw6fh]

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 KZbinrs like Tony Clickbait BS or the American Chipmunk (Fro). Thank you Sean.

[@RezaMirzai]

Such a great story and so enlightening! I've been following her for a long time and her work is absolutely stunning! Also thank you so much Sean for producing another fantastic video!

Really awesome to see this video. I absolutely love your work Rachael. Your story is truly inspiring and motivating. Thanks for sharing.

[@dominiclucero7221]

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!

[@anildamodaran]

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

[@JohnDoe-ws5iv]

Of all the Channels I follow on KZbin, yours I think is the most meaningful and heartfelt!!! Thank You, Sean!

[@glynjones1582]

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

[@jefftangjf]

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

[@mbottambotta]

Thank you Sean. I’m happy to have listened to Rachael, a sentiment that rarely happens to me watching videos on KZbin. 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.

[@DavidTimberDKT]

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.

[@ruiguerreiro4371]

[@danielgoody8636]

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

[@Yannick11]

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.

[@MicaelWidell]

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.

[@TRunner4]

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.

[@doumepatrice7597]

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

[@mogsijavier3681]

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.

[@joemalone7385]

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.

[@keliu5821]

[@3alanben]

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!

[@michaelrogers1313]

This is one of the most inspiring and introspective videos I have had the pleasure of watching. Thank you Sean and Rachael, for creating something beautiful, and for sharing some well seasoned wisdom with the world. I am grateful and am leaving with some answers, and perhaps a few more questions, on my own journey.

[@MarkWick]

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.

[@andyprime56]

“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.

[@MTimWeaver]

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.

[@aterrell25]

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

[@TanmayDharmaraj]

This and so many of your other videos is one of the most amazing things i've seen about photography in a long time. Amongst all the gear acquisition spree that youtube videos can put you into, the constant feeling that you as a photographer are probably not doing enough, it indeed is motivating to see someone say for a change, slow it down, don't beat yourself over it, don't quit your day job and enjoy the process. Thank you for this.
