I sit down with Margaret Soraya to talk about her move to the remote Isle of Harris, her photography and painting work, and how she manages her life as a creative introvert.
#landscapephotography #introvert #isleofharris - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I have never known another that I felt like a twin that had identical thoughts, experiences, artistic expressions and just this past week decided to take swimming lessons at age 66. I started taking photos at age 60, I was the oldest in my classes, I have so much I want to see and do with my camera, I have a dream to just walk around in silence , me and my camera and take interesting images of people. This was inspiring, thank you Sean for sharing her, I have been a fan from a distance of your beautiful work. God bless, keep sharing, keep encouraging us that aspire to take interesting, thought provoking images. 📸
Inspirational ! Enjoy the peace with your camera and take images that make you happy :)
Such a beautiful post! Good Luck to you.
How's your photography going?
This! Is! Fantastic! As an introvert (who also read Quiet), I thoroughly enjoyed watching this amazing artist and person. Beautifully articulated how important it is to find our peaceful & creative place in life. Blessings to Margaret.
You had me at Creative Introvert. Hello my people. I'm quietly excited just knowing there's a whole bunch of us in the world who are these kinds of people. Thank you so much Sean for sharing Margaret's story - Margaret, I absolutely love your work and the feeling that jumps out from the image and paintings and pulls me in close and quietly surrounds my soul. Love it.
I didn't know people were complaining about leaving images to the end. Personally I love it, and I agree with your reasoning. I think it helps a ton to be able to just take in the photos without trying to multitask (and failing).
Being an introvert, Margaret's story is so immediately relatable to me. She is living my dream. Thank you so much to you both for sharing this beautiful story here!
Just the way Margaret speaks gives a wonderful feeling of authenticity.
Sean, you have the most underrated channel on TH-cam. Thank you for all the work you put down for us!
Brilliant, just briliant. Margaret seems to have such a deep, beautiful and creative mind. What an inspiration, especially for us strong introverts out there. Thank you for this video, Sean.
This deeply resonated with me. Margaret's quiet strength and strong sense of identity is the goal of all introverts. Beautifully shot and presented. I initially didn't like the images at the end from another video but have since come around to seeing why you do it this way. It allows the viewer to be fully immersed in each aspect: first the words, then the images. Excellent work, Sean.
Thank you Sean for bringing us this wonderful interview with Margaret. I love her way of being and of creating. Thank you also for your comments supporting women photographers. It can be a very male oriented space at tines, especially on TH-cam, so it's nice to see you bring Margaret's work to your audience.
I always love to see a new video from you, they are unique and always inspirational. Thank you Sean.
I’m currently in a toxic relationship where I’m often being gaslighted, misunderstood and “punished” for my deeply introverted, emotional personality. This story gives me hope that I, too, will come out on the other side - self-aware, confident, and proud of who I am. That I, too, will be able to build a life that I’m in love with, a life where I’m solo by choice and that allows me be utterly and unapologetically me. Thank you, Sean, for this video.
The only way your getting out is by getting out of that toxic relationship.
Thank you Margaret and Sean, that was one if not the most inspirational video I have ever watched that put all of me as a jigsaw puzzle into place. I have an continue to suffer from severe depression and a mental break down and have just lost my job of 22 years as a nurse because of it. But it find growth and moments of calm and clarity though channeling my grief, my mood and my emotional state into my photography, how I edit and how I then describe my images. This video has helped me start to make sense of what it is I am doing and perhaps why. Thank you so very much.
My life has been blessed since meeting Margaret, Her essence. her sharing. The comments below say it all, the rhythm tone of this film captures the person I have come to know and the joy of being her friend. ( love Ratty)
This gave me soo much inspiration to be myself . Now I know I am not shy and backward,; I am a quiet creative introvert who also takes photos and paints them!
It was as if i was almost watching a video of my life, as an introvert myself it’s so comforting to hear the stories of others. That place of comfort in her childhood is something I also carry with me but for me it’s the mountains in North Wales and specifically two locations which i still hold very dear and bring great joy and calm to my life. As always the way in which you’ve shot and edited this film is stunning.
I imagine I'm not the only one to watch this multiple times? I have and watching it again now. Among so many great videos by Sean, this is a favorite.
What an unbelievable story, and such a beautiful photographer, painter and talker.
Your work and experiences you share are so meaningful and expressive.
Absolutely love your content.
Keep up the amazing work.
Mate - you are a very good presenter. No self-promoting, big-noting or hyperbole, just great content and advice, presented calmly, spoken clearly… and (thank goodness) without the now-almost-standard “like”, “like”, “like” inserted between every second word that we must endure from so many other content creators.
Thank you. Great channel.
One of the things that drew me to your videos is that you appear to be an introvert. This brought me comfort because I am absolutely an introvert. I live on the Oregon Coast and wandering the forests, cliffs, and beaches gives me plenty of solitude and gives me the connection with the water, that much like your guest, I need. This was a great video, thank you.
Thank you Sean for bringing this subject up and for letting us hear Margarets story and wise words. I had tears in my eyes for the better part of the interview due to me reflecting on my own life and my own photography. ❤
This was so beautiful! As an introvert, Margaret's words of wisdom were so helpful to me. Thank you, Sean and Margaret.
I love - and feel - this so very much. Nothing but respect for Margaret and her story. And what a lovely portrait you've made of her with this video, Sean.
Beautiful. Every photo is a painting. Thanks to Margaret for her joy in the process she has created and for sharing her story. I had a very rare dream this morning, and the color in my dream was on a convertible car and I could see it in my mind, but I did not see the color anywhere until I saw the canvas that Margaret was painting. I had been thinking about that color all day.
Margaret has very deep soulful eyes.
This was an amazing video, Sean! Thanks for everything you do for introverted photographers, including having Margaret give her thoughts & insight.
What a great interview and lovely artists, thank you for sharing. It also took me 35 or 40 years to understand myself after reading Susan Cains book. This has been a sort of life saver because it stopped me from thinking that I am wrong. Just like Margaret mentions. I also learnt to fell proud of my strenghts and my depth. Unfortunately most of the schools / universities / employers do not realise the difference and fail to support wonderful people who are less loud than others. I wish that more people would make sure that they live the life they want for themself and not to the expectation of others. The photos look beautiful, thank you for the presentation. I also love watching the water, but where I live, there is not much movement in it, unfortunately.
Wow, this just brought me to tears. Thank you both for making this. I deeply appreciate the honesty around the struggles of life’s intensity and busyness. Your voice Margaret, is both encouraging and important. Thank you.
Simply beautiful. So much, I can’t find words. I’m very glad I found your channel in the time of emotional disturbance in my life. Please keep sharing all those inspiring stories. ❤
Absolutely beautiful and heartwarming, thank you Sean and Margaret.
I just want to share that I feel Sean makes the most thoughtful and informative videos that inspire, create and connect to his audience. He is such a gift to the YT platform and I am personally grateful for his time, expertise and passion he puts into all his videos. To say he has inspired my work is an understatement. TY
As another introverted photographer with SAD, (Social Anxiety Disorder), I found this interview to be truly inspirational. And her images are amazing. Thank you so much for sharing. ❤
Hi Sean!
Margaret's story is not only a great story for introverts but for anyone. I can completely relate to Margaret's ways of feeling, thinking, and being. It is refreshing to talk about mental health and the importance and power of photography and any kind of art as a way to permit yourself to self-liberate from social conventions and the weight of responsibility that we have to hold.
Cheers!
What a beauty lady. She has such serenity and peace and this is reflected in her lovely images. It sounds like her life was on hold but now she has found a way forward. Thank you Sean. This is a beautiful video and your choice to introduce her first was absolutely the right decision.
The very same book completely changed my life and the self-understanding. My camera has remained in the bag for the last 3-4 years as parenting is not only a full time job, but extremely difficult. Fatigue and the fact that my child is unbelievably gregarious which is exhausting and unfortunately my "alone time" is rarely outside, but instead in my office behind a computer. While I'd never give up my family I am envious that Margaret has been able to move to a remote location to be her best self. I'm limited by the location of schools and my families needs for socialising often. I owe @seantuck a big thank you for taking the effort to travel all that way and record this interview. It is this video that got me pulling out the camera, the lenses and the rest of my gear, dusting it off and inspiring me to pick up where I left off. Thank you.
I love Margaret’s podcast. I’m glad to see her in this channel. Thanks Sean for a wonderful video.
Harris is such a beautiful place. Colors are just magic! Love the atmosphere.
I’m not an introvert, but I’m always interested to learn how other creatives work. Very cool!
Friar Tucker, I am always bowled over by your generosity. You promote other photographers more than you promote your own work, and they're mostly LIVING photographers! Thanks for always giving us something worth chewing on.
I enjoyed that one Sean. For some reason Margaret reminded me of film I watched as a young boy. The Incredible Mr.Limpet. Don Knots plays a bookish introverted man with a fascination of the sea and the all the creatures that live within it. Its part film and part animation and while Mr Limpet is on dry land its film, but when he leans forward looking into the sea and falls into it becomes an animation with Mr Limpet becoming transformed into a fish, a fish with spectacles.😮he befriends the sea life and somehow becomes a hero before landing himself back on dry land at which point the animation becomes film once again. Perhaps its the comfort that Margaret draws from the sea that triggered this long forgotten memory of a film, I watched as youth but like life that lives deep within the sea so did this boyhood memory live deep within my consciousness. Until you Sean and Margaret brought it back to the surface.
The context enhanced my appreciation of the images.
I enjoyed this very much. As an introvert I can relate to everything Margaret so beautifully articulated. Thank you for making this video.
As a creative introvert this resonates in two ways, the need for peace and quiet to focus and tap into my creativity, and a bit of nostalgia as I used to holiday on the Isle of Harris as a child, then I lived on the Isle of Lewis as a teenager. It was where my creative journey began to flourish and it still influences some of my work now, and my appreciation of nature and the natural environment. It was not a place that I could settle forever, but I do sometimes miss the peace and the beautiful scenery. Blessings to Margaret, for finding peace, embracing and accepting herself, and for being an inspiration to all.
Love this so much. And can relate very much. I met Margaret a couple of times on Harris. Love her work and how it connects so much emotionally.
Another fantastic video, can full relate to this. I spent a year in Asia traveling alone and loving every second of it. Now i am saving for a 4 year trip to travel alone. Being able to get lost in the thing you love is heaven.
Thank you Sean, for another brilliant video. And thank you for giving a shout out to women photographers. Not known anyone else do that! I have been following Margaret for a while now and the images you have shown are beautiful. She is an inspiration to me; she is gentle and a pleasure to listen to. Thanks.
I LOVE her excitement!!
Incredible and fascinating interview - thank you! Another female introvert here ... some of the story certainly resonates with me.
I needed this today. Thank you Sean and Margaret.
This really spoke to my heart! Thank you, Sean!
Beautiful. As an introvert, this hits so close to home.
Another incredible video. Margaret’s work is stunning. Thanks Sean.
Love these photographer features! Hearing her tell her story, challenges and transformations, and following her inspiration to the fullest with dedication to expressing herself...truly inspiring.
Beautiful - thanks Sean. And Margaret.
Incredibly inspiring Sean and Margaret. Heartfelt thanks to you both! ❤❤❤
This one hit close to home for me, as with many others. Thank you for continuing to introduce us to artists whose work we didn’t know we needed.
such a gift, and support. tremendous love. thank you both.
What an inspiring interview. And Margaret's images are fantastic. A great video, thanks Sean.
I’m at my most content when being held by the waves. I hope to find my confidence/strength to express myself again one day too. Thank you for sharing your story
Just beautiful. The video, Margaret, and her work!
Sean, I am absolutely devouring your channel. However, what I truly love is the love, kindness, friendship and respect you show to the people that are on your channel. Allowing them time to truly share their stories and showing their low points and high points in their lives. Life is so full of pressure to be the best, get the best camera, understand the rules, editing etc. What you are showing through your channel is we can fail or have bad days, however, feeling photography and allowing that passion will bring out the best side of ourselves. The people you feature on your channel are so humble, incredibly creative and they are following their intuition and love. Thank you so much for showing the emotional side of photography and I can easily watch your videos 10x over
Great stuff, an insightful & thoughtful video (as usual!) and absolutely stunning work from Margaret.
A remarkably inspiring human being creating truly stunning art! THANK YOU for sharing her with the world.
Thank you and to her! 🙏🏻❤️
What a lovely person. Thank you for sharing.

Excellent video Sean, interesting and a joy to hear Margaret. This all resonates with me. It is always great to see people find and stick to their true self. Well done Margaret. You are inspiring.
Once again Sean, thank you for bring these amazing women to our attention. I really enjoyed listening to Margaret quiet but assured story about her life and what continues to drives her creativity.
Brother Sean, you've done it again--Margaret sharing her creative journey and the courage to follow her heart is more that mere motivation--her story energizes my hope. Please convey my deepest thanks to her for sharing. And, some of her work is almost breath-taking...she is amazing. And, my continual appreciation to you, Sean...as I've said on many posts, you are a gift...watching you and your creative journey grow over the years has been a vitamin of life for me (and undoubtedly many othera). Be well, my Brother...stay true to your calling. God be with you always. Peace and hope.
Thank you Sean…your posts always resonate with me…love how you combine championing others along with how to’s…🙏
That is so inspiring! I can relate so much.. Thank you Sean and Margaret.
So deep, and so nice to listen to. And really great photography. Thank you for sharing.
Awesome video and topic Sean! Thank you!
OMG what an amazing lady and talent thank you so much for sharing Margaret's story with us.
Thank you so much for giving Margaret this space. She spoke so much from my heart - and experience.
Ah amazing video Sean. There so much I can relate too in this video. Thanks for making it and thanks to Margaret for taking part. It’s so good to hear how others have learned about themselves and learned how to create the conditions for them to be able to create and thrive.
This was SO GOOD! Thank you for this insightful interview!
What a powerful interview and wonderful photos. Thanks to you both for sharing the story and the thoughts. ❤️ They are giving so much comfort as well as insperation and help to think about who I am and what I am doing.
Truely inspirational. Loved it. Thank you for creating this amazing video Sean and introducing us to a wonderful artist who I look forward to following.
Thank you so much for sharing her story. Many times beauty is born from pain and loneliness. I being a painter/photographer as well (portraits) I can relate to her struggles and the peace that she finds through the act of creativity.
A very well put together interview with Margaret, to hear how someone who is an introvert can be such a powerful creative. Her images that you shared were impactful and moving. Thank you for creating this and sharing it with us.
Great episode Thank you again Sean for showcasing another artist that doesn't fit into the usual TH-cam Insta mould. I really enjoyed it.
Thank you Margaret and Sean. What an inspiring interview with such a lovely person.
I am watching this a few times over. This is what i am on TH-cam for. Thanks a ton Sean for bringing these stories- they resonate at a very personal level.
Honestly Sean your work is absolutely beautiful. I love how much thought and heart goes into your videos. I resonated so much with this video that I had to write how it made me feel. There’s really nobody else like you. Thank you for all that you provide us on your channel from knowledge to inspiration and everything in between.
Beautifully created video Sean, and she has a stunning background story and work.
Wow… I’m so pleased i just watched this before going to work & at the start of a new week. Listening to people that have the vocabulary to express how they are or feel is something i aspire to! Very reassuring as well as motivational. Thanks Sean, Margaret 👍❤
wow, thank you for that. I like the images at the end, I can pause and soak them in without interrupting her narrative. I hope Margaret has many more sunny days so I can see more of her work. I'm guessing you're blending in a lot of your earlier life's experience when you facilitate / interview / showcase these other artists with such sensitivity. a real gem.
Margaret is a beautiful soul. Thank you for sharing.
Love this! So inspiring! Thank you Sean once again a wonderful and informative video!
Beautiful work!
Thank you for this, both of you. I can so relate to this, being an introvert, having suffered migraines and stress which led to fatigue and depression. Beautiful to watch this, on that beautiful isle, having found peace of mind and a way to cope with life.
This has been very inciteful and inspiring, thank you!
Beautiful work and a great story, Sean. Very well done.
Beautiful photography!
Thanks Sean and Margaret for sharing such a wonderful story and amazing images .... loving these seascapes ❤
Thank you for introducing her!
Thank you for this video and to Margaret for sharing her story.
Great video, story and photographer. Most inspiring photography video I have seen in quite some time. fantastic work!
I love these sea paintings and photographs
Thank you so much for sharing Margaret's story. I found that being introverted helped spawn a constant need for creative discovery, whether it's making music, photography or (professionally) as a graphic designer. I was able to develop an inner peace and confidence in order to undertake creative projects and immerse myself in them. I retired last year and decided to take up photography again after a considerable amount of time away. The passion returned and I look forward to waking up each day so I can explore the world with my camera. It's so inspiring to hear someone who has followed a similar creative and spiritual path.
