The Story-telling Power of Self Portraits (feat. Iness Rychlik)

[@jenohogan9254]

That was incredibly moving. Her work is amazing. I really like her personality. Everything about her is inspiring.

[@stuartackerman4594]

What a story teller! Iness, you should be making movies! What a wonderful person! Your mindset reminds me of the song... "I get knocked down, I get up again!" All the best, Iness!

[@InessRychlik]

Thank you so much Sean, it was a pleasure to meet you. Until next time! ♥

[@seantuck]

A pleasure working with you on this. Thanks for sharing your beautiful work with us.

[@leisaapelt4581]

Your work is truly wonderful, subtle and unique Iness, thank you for sharing it with us here. Thank you to Sean too for showcasing Iness' fabulous work on your channel, amazing! I love the way you allow the story of the art to shine through in these pieces and provide others with a space to as well Sean. Deep gratitude.

[@joelgaddis9208]

For someone about to dive into the possibilities of creative self-portraiture, this was truly inspirational.

[@geogu3images]

Sean you’re a wonderful artist and humanist, because essentially, your art speaks to humanity. I can stare at humanity all day long and find joy in it, but view thousands of photographs on instagram in an hour, and forget what I saw in just minutes. Iness too is an amazing artist and has a wonderful soul, thanks for sharing her with us.

[@seantuck]

Thanks my friend.

[@RideandRemember]

Thank you Sean. I'd never have seen those beautiful and brilliant works if I didn't happen to know your channel. Thank you again.

[@MichaelRayGreco]

Iness work is amazing and what a powerful story

[@DarylHunt]

I can so relate to this. I have severe myopia and Keratoconus. She is so inspirational. I love her images. Thanks Sean for this video.

[@warrenchrismas]

Good stuff, Sean. Great to see and hear the warm and charismatic woman behind the amazing dark art.

[@ricmondelli5846]

Thank you Sean for such fantastic work, this video reveals to me the depth of the artist's soul and the pain that exists there. She has shown that there is beauty in pain, and one can grow in wisdom and knowledge through this crucible of pain. Life is 10% of what happens to us in 90% of how we handle it, she has done a wonderful job! 😊

[@Ed-davies]

What a beautiful film Sean. Such strong a powerful images with an amazing person behind them.

[@karlkrebs4386]

Wow, what a very cool and impressive lady! I really like the interviews you're doing.

[@nigelwest3430]

Some extraordinary photos

[@nvvlad]

Very powerful material that I relate to. Thank you for your effort and Iness for sharing.

[@PitNeex]

A beautiful and strong soul !

[@MTimWeaver]

I've followed her work for about a year or so...I cannot even recall how I came across it. But it's breathtakingly beautiful.

[@savemarinwood6678]

She is stunningly beautiful.

[@JeffBehary]

Fabulous artist.

[@suzetteanthony5181]

I love Iness Rychlik's art, absolutely amazing.

[@lauramartini2854]

Thank you very much for sharing your work with both of you.

[@RockWILK]

Beautiful. Love this. Thank you.

[@rayribeiro6741]

Sean, I wanted to congratulate you on your brilliant, brilliant channel. I discovered it a week ago and since then, you have been an almost constant companion as I go about my day. In fact, I have to ration myself to two or three of your videos per day, so I have time to fully digest the topics, otherwise I would have binged your entire back catalogue by now. The topics discussed in some of your videos are so profound, so enjoyable and so in-line with my own thoughts and philosophies that I wonder where you channel has been all my life. I always knew photography was an important, and somewhat underrated, art form but your presentation of it makes me fall in love with it all over again - a wonderful, giddy experience - making me feel like a better and more purposeful photographer, and for that, I can't thank you enough. This is now starting to sound like a love letter, I know, but I just wanted to convey my deep appreciation of your photography, your hard work, you intellect and your eloquence. Thanks again.

[@retropixer]

Wow.. What an interesting, lovely, and strong person and artist. I believe the greatest works of art always comes out of pain, and it definitely has a healing effect. Thank you for making this video.

[@christinakipfer8086]

Iness makes beautiful, inspiring work. I love to learn about all these amazing photographers and how they move about the world and interpret it through their art.

[@steveedgerton6266]

Very powerful.

[@ricgalbraith]

Amazing work and interview 🖤

[@shawis71]

[@CarpathianSoul]

thank you for sharing this story

[@ardview-vanlife]

So proud of you sister! 💛 This was such a beautiful and inspiring interview. Loved the quote too, this can be my daily mantra too 😅😂

[@will2chill357]

great interview and great work from Iness. Inspirational. This is art for me. You need to do it for yourself in the first place...

[@realonomicsnet2379]

She is proof that the person is the art.

[@garryplatt5205]

I really enjoyed her honesty and directness - exceptional work.

[@carlosquijano2827]

The work of Ines is beautiful and very serious art. Congratulations from Colombia 🇨🇴.

[@InessRychlik]

Sending love from England! ♥

[@StriderLongbow]

What a remarkable person Iness is.

[@annanobody15]

Iness, you are a wonderful Artist (with the capital A). As being Polish, I’m proud❤

[@InessRychlik]

Dziękuję pięknie! :)

[@EduardoMendozaPhoto]

The worst kind for difficulties is dealing with a hard financial hardship and lack of support, that in the middle of depression, anxiety, that does not let you work, does not let you have the least amount of peace, does not let you live.

[@adithompson199]

Extraodinary. Using your own faults to portray your art. Wonderful results. Now makes me think further in the use of self awareness and using this with a more stunning aspect.

[@ibarrabenjamin1]

As usual, Sean, you are putting out unique, high-quality content. Thanks for sharing and for inspiring so many of us.

[@MSladekPhoto]

Thank you ooo much for introducing us to Iness. What an amazing story and perspective.

[@kevinparkes417]

Such an incredibly inspiring person and profoundly beautiful imagery. Thank you.

[@Ratcorbeau]

Thank you Sean, i have discover a tremendous artist with your video. A great moment and as always amazing videos.

[@onkelzaufsendung-dervideop2943]

Outstanding! Thank you for your videos!

[@r.wilson8095]

Ms. Rychliks' work immediately reminded me of the early works of Francesca Woodman and found her work amazing and her story of dealing with life's not-so-fair moments to produce such a nice body of work.

[@DenzleMills]

Hi Sean, I'm not really one to comment on KZbin. However, your latest set of films, the interviews, have been superb. On this on in particular, the look/colour of the films caught my attention. You're bringing a lot of 'normal' people to my attention and I'm rather enjoying this fact. I'm not an expert, just like to try and see what I can get photography wise. Nice work. Many thanks.

[@seantuck]

Thanks mate:)

[@fernanddurler4709]

WHAT A brave, talented , inspiring and beautiful woman and artist Iness is! Bravo🎵

[@claireluxtonart]

I can relate to much of this 🙏🏼

[@victornaumann3767]

Great interview, lovely images and very moving story.

[@JC-uj7up]

Beautiful work and a beautiful person indeed! I know another female self shooting artist who started for similar reasons regarding body and control. Absolutely great work and interview

[@sbai4319]

Reallly moving, personal and beautiful work. One of your best videos Sean.

[@kjellandersson3949]

Interesting and inspiring as always. She is a fantastic artist.

[@philbarrance]

I think your images are fantastic and you are beautiful

Your videos never disappoint. Thank you for your continuous inspiration.

[@GossyHawk]

Once again Sean you have put together a powerful video with true heart and compassion and an illustration of superb ethics. Thank you to Iness for sharing and your capture.

[@marinamartins6962]

Wow!!! Such an amazing woman, wonderful artist, thinker, creature, Being !! Thank you for sharing and Ines for existing and being so inspiring ❤❤❤

[@jenniferwilliams3650]

Sean, thank you for spotlighting Iness! Iness, your work is amazing on so many levels. The photos are beautifully and artfully done and have such important messages. As a woman I appreciate that you address issues that many women deal with daily. Thank you for sharing yourself and your process.

[@markbaigent8373]

Wonderful video about a very talented lady.

[@lunisproductions3614]

Great interview with a very inspiring artist. Really like what you do and how you present your guests.

[@RandomiValotus]

thanks for sharing this great story with us.

[@sharonhaasbroek7464]

Wow! What an intelligent woman.

Amazing!! love this artist!!!

[@Belchdragon]

Absolutely blown away by her.

[@tonydesarzec907]

Awesome!

[@MrJhoyer]

Great work!

[@samar1462]

She's such a humble and wonderful human being...😮❤

[@peternilmot9144]

As always Sean, you provide the most thought provoking video content on KZbin. Not only the content with in each video, but the way you present the content is thoughtful and refreshing. I follow you on Instagram (under my real name) and now I will follow Ines.

[@Bjuiful]

And she’s funny too.

[@bluejay3945]

As someone who has always struggled with the $ of talent and art, how do you put a value on her work. It appears that prints start at $2700 US. Do you target a certain sector or do you try to put a price on what went into the final product? I found her work mesmerizing and I’m just curious how the income flow is affected given the print price. Awesome video and inspiring individual.

[@InessRychlik]

I have a regular full-time job, as I don’t want to be completely financially dependent on my photography. I’m not the best person to ask about diversifying your income flow etc. Thank you so much for your kind words, Blue Jay!

[@bluejay3945]

@@InessRychlik Thank you for the reply. Yes the financial side of anything is a cloudy image. As a recent retired personal my $ is now an object. I was so touched by your photographic journey that I reviewed your site and loved quite a few images but they are out of my league. I am Polish decent as well with relatives still in southern Poland. Unfortunately they will not cooperate with helping trace ancestry. Frustrating! Stay well and continue on your journey. You have amazing talent

[@alanpina354]

What a impressive lady. Love her passion.

[@canucklehead28]

Amazing work!

[@RibandKurd]

Great work

[@philippelecourtier3888]

Great interview and wonderful discovery. Iness delivers messages that are incredibly moving and inspiring. It's a bit frustrating that we can't get an insight into her creation process when she makes the photos because we can guess there is a huge amount of work behind each photo. But that preserves a part of mystery which makes her art even more interesting. The art of self portrait in photography is probably the most demanding and the most difficult to master. Thanks for this Sean!

[@pauljenkin297]

Excellent video, Sean. Such an inspiring story and a very gifted photographer. 👏

[@jmarcusg]

Thank you for another profile of an artist willing to share their personal story with you and us!

[@seantuck]

Thanks so much for the support:)

[@ugurongel3066]

You have no idea how inspiring your deep intense focus talks motivates

[@petersmitham8273]

Thank you once again. 🎉

[@rogerhyland8283]

I thought the early photos were beautiful and i didn’t really get the sensation of trauma with the first set of self portraits but the photos closer to the end were quite confronting. It’s sad that so many people, particularly women, feel traumatised by society. I’m glad her art practice has helped her. Her commentary was amazingly lucid, serious yet somehow light-hearted. Really an unexpected pleasure.

[@_r3ck0n3r_]

Exceptional

[@tjwalkup7155]

She is stunning and her work is intimate emotional and utterly beautiful. What a charming woman.

[@denisesavage2382]

W O W . . . . . powerful story telling on so many levels. What a gift Iness is to our world in the brining of herself in such an artistic way.

[@joseerazevedo]

Great!

[@DovetailKitchens]

Inspiring, wholesome, uplifting. Well done Sean

[@marklambert7734]

fascinating work- sensitively filmed, thanks

[@loozerid]

Its always interesting how such a beautiful person can and does feel certain ways about themselves and their body. The same ways i may feel about my own ugly body. I think I may need to dive into self portraiture and explore my own feelings.

[@romiemiller7876]

That crown also looks like a bear trap. I wonder about the psychology of that. All together, I think she has the situation covered well. A god interview.

[@RheaK]

I’m on 7:40 and I can’t help but hold my tears and pause the video. Maybe eventually I’ll finish the video.

[@darrenmwinter]

Amazing work, from both photographers.

[@liveinaweorg]
