Winter is a great time for dramatic coastal and seascape photography. Professional photographer Rachael Talibart shares some secrets for stunning coastal shots<\/h2>\n
\n

For someone who describes themselves as \u2018a poor swimmer and a poorly sailor\u2019 it seems incredible that award-winning coastal and seascape photographer Rachael Talibart<\/a> chose the sea as her muse. \u2018I\u2019m afraid of the sea,\u2019 she laughs. \u2018I think it\u2019s dead scary, but that\u2019s part of its appeal to me. You feel very alive when you\u2019re afraid.\u2019<\/p>\n

A former solicitor, Rachael has spent a large chunk of her life at university, where she studied the sublime \u2013 a term sometimes used to describe the delicious terror we experience when faced with nature at its most forceful and immense \u2013 think mountain ranges, deep chasms, raging seas etc. \u2018My big wave pictures are hugely informed by the fact that I\u2019m afraid of the sea,\u2019 she reveals. However, this fear is matched by a deep respect and an even greater love for the ocean.<\/p>\n\t\t

Find a mentor<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When Rachael decided to take her coastal and seascape photography more seriously in 2015, she embarked on a mentorship with fine art photographer Jonathan Chritchley. At this point she was selling the occasional print and running a few workshops, but the returns barely covered her expenses.<\/p>\n

\u2018I would not have described myself as even a semi-pro back then,\u2019 she admits. So, to invest a considerable sum of money in her photography was a big commitment. But, having been on workshops with Jonathan in the past, she was confident that with his advice and a lot of hard work, she could move her photography up to the next level. \u2018Psychologically it was huge,\u2019 she recalls, \u2018It was me saying to myself, right you\u2019ve made the decision, you want to go for it, commit fully and make sure that you\u2019ve got something to lose.\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t

Photograph what you love<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Jonathan sent Rachael a detailed questionnaire, and designed a bespoke programme based around her responses. \u2018Some of the stuff he got me to do seemed a bit strange, but I trusted that he had a plan, and he did,\u2019 she recalls. One piece of advice that struck a chord was, \u2018photograph what you love.\u2019 The more Rachael thought about it, the more her mind (and heart) came back to the sea. \u2018Everyone is trying to find their voice and one of the easiest ways to do it is to focus on what you love,\u2019 she suggests.<\/p>\n

\u2018Try and think of a thing that you could spend longer looking at than anybody else without getting bored, that way you will see more, explore a subject more, and you will find new ways of expressing it. I think you have to have something to say in your photographs apart from \u201cthis is what it looked like\u201d.\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t

Return to the same place<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Rachael can happily spend all day at the beach \u2013 once she was even lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves in the Outer Hebrides. Scotland\u2019s Western Isles are just one of four locations that she returns to regularly (the others being Sussex, Oregon and Portugal), and this familiarity, coupled with the knowledge that she will return, enables her to relax and to be more experimental. \u2018Many of my best photographic moments have happened on the beach closest to where I live,\u2019 she says.<\/p>\n

\u2018On the rare occasion when I find myself somewhere new, I work better by promising myself I will be back.\u2019 This approach allows Rachael to focus on small details \u2013 water washing over a shell, or an abstract painting of rust, for example \u2013 without worrying too much about whether or not she has captured the \u2018famous big vista.\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t

Notice the details<\/strong><\/h3>\n

These quieter shots, often created at the tideline, are particularly rewarding for Rachael. \u2018You can capture that moment nobody else has seen, before the tide washes it away,\u2019 she suggests. \u2018No one will have photographed that particular shell as the sea did that particular thing around it.\u2019 While these beautiful unplanned moments create unique opportunities, there are some things that Rachael never leaves to chance. \u2018I would definitely never go out without knowing the tides, and I choose where I go based on that,\u2019 she reveals.<\/p>\n

Using an app called NAUTIDE, she can see what the tide is doing two years in advance, which is essential when scheduling trips and workshops. \u2018Knowing the tides drives what I do much more than the weather forecast,\u2019 she reveals. In fact, while plain, blue-sky days might be off-putting for some photographers, Rachael urges everyone to get out with the camera anyway. \u2018If you\u2019re pointing down at a shell, or a detail, it doesn\u2019t matter what the sky is doing,\u2019 she assures.<\/p>\n\t\t

Stay safe and aware<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Of course, another reason for checking the tides is safety. \u2018As I said before, I am very afraid of the sea, so I take safety seriously,\u2019 says Rachael. \u2018Knowing your location really, really well certainly helps, but I would also advise standing a bit further back than the closest you think is safe, because when you\u2019re concentrating on taking photographs, and you\u2019re in the zone, you forget about everything around you.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, if you\u2019re using a long lens, you\u2019ll be concentrating on a small part of the sea and you might not be aware of what the rest of the sea is doing. I definitely think it\u2019s wise to keep looking.\u2019 Of course, \u2018being in the zone\u2019 is what many of us crave, but not paying attention to our surroundings can have dire consequences. In Newhaven, for example \u2013 where Rachael shot her Sirens series \u2013 lives have been lost to the sea. \u2018I have seen some mad things down there,\u2019 Rachael warns.<\/p>\n

Use robust equipment<\/strong><\/h3>\n

While Rachael has never been in any serious danger at the coast, she admits to being \u2018surprised\u2019 by a wave in Portugal, leading to an expensive camera repair bill. \u2018I\u2019ve tested the weather-sealing on the Canon EOS 5DS R thoroughly, and I can tell you it works!\u2019 she laughs. \u2018The only thing you can\u2019t do is immerse it in the sea!\u2019<\/p>\n

Rachael uses two 5DS R bodies and a Fuji X-T2 (mainly for video). \u2018I handle lots of different cameras on my workshops, but my Canon feels like an extension of my hands \u2013 I never have to think about it,\u2019 she explains. She teams the EOS 5DS R with one of four lenses: 16-35mm, 24-70mm, 70-200mm or 100-400mm.<\/p>\n

\u2018The lens I use most has changed over time,\u2019 she explains. \u2018When I started out, the 16-35mm would have been my go-to lens, and it still is if there is an amazing sky, but over time I\u2019ve found myself using ever-longer focal lengths. I really enjoy shooting with the 100-400mm at the long end, picking out patterns on the surface of the sea or in the waves, for example.\u2019 If the spray is strong, Rachael uses an inexpensive Op\/Tech rainsleeve to protect her gear.<\/p>\n

Get out there<\/strong><\/h3>\n

At a time like this, experiencing the vigour and majesty of nature is a genuine tonic. \u2018Nature is therapeutic and redemptive,\u2019 says Rachael. \u2018As a species we have become disconnected from nature and it has allowed us to abuse and exploit the natural world, rather than having a symbiotic relationship with it. I think the more time we spend in the company of nature the more likely we are to become the best version of ourselves.\u2019 Surely, there\u2019s no better reason to head to the coast.<\/p>\n

Rachel’s top tips for coastal photography<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Follow your passion<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Ask yourself what it is you love \u2013 it might be food, dance or, in Rachael\u2019s case, the ocean. Find something you could spend a lifetime exploring without getting bored, and dedicate yourself to photographing it. The deeper you dig, the more you will find.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>\t\t\t

Passion<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

It\u2019s all in the detail<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

If you shoot on a falling tide, interesting details will often be revealed on the rocks and sand. Rachael admits that she probably spends more time on these \u2018quiet\u2019 pictures than she does shooting \u2018scary waves\u2019. It\u2019s also an ideal time to shoot because the sand will be free of footprints.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>\t\t\t

Spill<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

Check the highlights<\/strong><\/h3>\n

While Rachael isn\u2019t fond of \u2018chimping\u2019 (constantly reviewing images on the LCD screen), she advises checking the histogram occasionally to avoid blown-out highlights. When storms are blowing through quickly, the sun is constantly peeking through the clouds, which can create problems on white foam.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>\t\t\t

Highlights<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

Leave a gap<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Rachael likes to leave a long gap between capturing images, reviewing them, and editing them. By allowing these intentional pauses, the emotional high from the shoot dissipates and she can edit her work calmly and objectively. Generally speaking, she only spends 10 minutes or so editing a picture.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>\t\t\t

Gap<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

Know the tides<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Never go out without knowing the tides, for safety and for photographic purposes. When there\u2019s a big tide Rachael likes to go to Birling Gap, because more sand will be revealed (it\u2019s predominantly pebbly), but if it\u2019s shallow she prefers West Wittering \u2013 although on a big tide you have to walk out to get to the sea.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>\t\t\t

Know<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

Try black & white<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Perhaps unusually, Rachael finds it easy to switch between black & white and colour. To assist her, she shoots raw, but switches the in-camera Picture Style to Monochrome \u2013 that way she retains all the detail while being able to see what a later monochrome conversion will look like.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

Rachel’s kit list for coastal photography and seascapes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Fotospeed paper <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Rachael recommends checking out Fotospeed’s website for tutorials<\/a>. (Rachael also runs printing workshops<\/a> via her company f\/11<\/strong>.) One of her favourite papers is Fotospeed NST Bright white 315.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Canon 100-400mm lens<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Rachael predominantly uses four lenses, but the Canon 100-400mm is her favourite for picking out patterns and details. She also uses a 24-70mm lens for \u2018proper\u2019 abstracts, as it allows her to get close to her subjects and is sharp from corner to corner.<\/p>\n

\"\"NAUTIDE app<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For tide, wind and wave information the NAUTIDE app is hard to beat. Rachael used to use a simpler app that told her the times of high and low tide at locations, but it wasn\u2019t enough. With NAUTIDE she can see tide heights and depths, and predict a big spring tide or shallow neap tide years in advance.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

LEE Filters<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Rachael is a LEE Filters master and wouldn\u2019t be without a set of grads in her kit bag. She often uses a 0.6 ND Hard Grad, but has recently gravitated towards a lighter version (the 0.3) for more subtlety. She also uses a 3-stop ProGlass ND and a polariser.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Op\/Tech rainsleeve<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Op\/Tech rainsleeves are super-cheap and can be screwed up and carried in your pocket. They feature a drawstring opening for a snug fit around lenses, and an opening for the eyepiece so you don\u2019t have to look through a piece of plastic. Perfect for protecting your gear from sea spray.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Canon EOS 5DS R<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

The weather-sealing on the Canon EOS 5DS R<\/a> has been put to the test countless times by Rachael and, apart from one immersion experience, it has never let her down. This DSLR offers 50.6 million pixels, and provides critical sharpness when she needs it the most.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n\"\"\n

Check out Rachael’s book<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Rachael\u2019s beautiful book, Tides and Tempests, features more than 120 images. There are a few signed copies still available, see here<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n\"\"\n\n
