Rachael Talibart
Rachael is a professional seascape and coastal photographer. Her critically acclaimed photographs of the ocean and coast have been featured in the press all over the world. Rachael is represented by galleries in Europe and the USA, her work is frequently exhibited, and her limited-edition prints are collected internationally. She is the author of three monographs.
Rachael grew up on the south coast of England and much of Rachael’s early childhood was spent at sea, sailing the coasts of Britain, France and The Netherlands. Her first career, however, was as a solicitor in the City of London. During the City years, her friends and colleagues were used to seeing her return from trips with bags full of exposed film; the developing sometimes cost more than the trip! In 2008, she converted to digital and she says that is when the obsession really set in. In 2000, Rachael left her City career and, after obtaining two more degrees, she now works full-time on her photography.
Rachael’s nautical childhood left her with a life-long love for the ocean and the coast it carves. For Rachael, nothing beats a day on an empty shore and this is reflected in her work. Often choosing to work in the tradition of the ‘Sublime’, Rachael is drawn to the coast in the wildest weather. She admits that she is both frightened and fascinated by the sea.
Her Sirens series embodies hidden figures that seem to emerge from the water. Inspired by Homer’s Odyssey, Rachael gave each image in this body of work the name of a mythological god or goddess. Sirens has won a series of international awards and featured in national and international publications including Wired, Colossal, My Modern Met, De Volkskrant and Süddeutsche Zeitung.
In an article from Colossal, Talibart reflects on her relationship with the sea, “It makes small, unimportant things of us all yet, at the same time, it is exhilarating and profoundly life affirming.”
