Contrary to popular belief, there was a 15-year gap between Rachael Talibart leaving her job as a solicitor and her becoming a professional photographer. During that time, she raised her children, studied for a couple of English Literature degrees and enjoyed photography as a hobby. As Rachael's children got older, she was increasingly drawn to photography and it was while she was attending a workshop in Venice that she realised that she wanted to make it a career. It was only a few months after her 'epiphany' that she had her first solo exhibition. Wind forward to the present day and Rachael is now well-known for her stunning fine art images of stormy seas, she's had exhibitions in Europe and the United States, she's a sought-after workshop leader and she's about to publish her fourth book.
