Much of her childhood was spent at sea and this has left her with a life-long fascination for the ocean in all its forms. Although Rachael travels widely for her photography she retains a special fondness for the South of England and many of her images are created there. Rachael’s photographs have been published in books, magazines and have been exhibited widely in the UK as well as Barcelona and New York and appear in private collections in the UK and USA. She has been awarded Black and White Photographer of the Year 2018. Classic View Winner, Landscape Photographer of the Year 2017 and Sunday Times Magazine award, Landscape Photographer of the Year 2016.
