title
Elemental
Much of Rachael's early childhood was spent at sea. This has left her with a life-long fascination for the ocean in all its forms, but especially in stormy weather. Rachael travels widely for her photographs but retains a special fondness for the South of England and many of her images are created there. For Rachael, nothing beats a day on an empty shore, the wilder the weather the better, and this is reflected in her work. Rachael is best known for her Sirens series, critically-acclaimed photographs of monstrous storm waves, published as a fine art photo-book by Triplekite Books in 2018.
Rachael's photographs have been published in books and both print and online magazines, have been exhibited widely in the UK as well as Barcelona, New York and Massachusetts, and appear in private collections in the UK and USA. She is owner of f11 Workshops, providing photography day tours and workshops in the South of England and she leads photography tours for international fine art business, Ocean Capture. Rachael is an experienced public speaker and writes for photography magazines.

entry description
I visit the Isle of Harris, in Scotland's Outer Hebrides, every year and I think I spend the rest of the year looking forward to the next visit! This special place is still untamed, and it fills my heart with joy. In this photograph, I wanted to communicate the freedom and exhilaration I feel when I stand on the beach on Harris. It is an elemental place that resets my internal compass: I'd be lost without it.about the photographer
