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.

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.
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?
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).
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.
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.
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!
Sean, you have the most underrated channel on UA-cam. Thank you for all the work you put down for us!
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.
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 UA-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.
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.
Absolutely beautiful and heartwarming, thank you Sean and Margaret.
This was an amazing video, Sean! Thanks for everything you do for introverted photographers, including having Margaret give her thoughts & insight.
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.
This was so beautiful! As an introvert, Margaret's words of wisdom were so helpful to me. Thank you, Sean and Margaret.
Just the way Margaret speaks gives a wonderful feeling of authenticity.
I just shot my first wedding a few days ago and it was introvert hell 😅
I just rewatched this video - when you first published this video I did a deep dive into all things Margaret and signed up for her Creative Photography retreat a year in advance. This retreat is now only 30 days away and I am so looking forward to it. Thank you so much for this video and all content you create - I will be traveling farther than I have ever traveled and I know my life is about to experience many priceless memories!
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. ❤
Great episode Thank you again Sean for showcasing another artist that doesn't fit into the usual UA-cam Insta mould. I really enjoyed it.
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)
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.
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. ❤
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.
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!
Incredible and fascinating interview - thank you! Another female introvert here ... some of the story certainly resonates with me.
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.
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.
So deep, and so nice to listen to. And really great photography. Thank you for sharing.
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.
Incredibly inspiring Sean and Margaret. Heartfelt thanks to you both! ❤❤❤
Sorry, obsessed with your dog!!! lol I would love an off leash dog
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
I enjoyed this very much. As an introvert I can relate to everything Margaret so beautifully articulated. Thank you for making this video.
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 Margaret’s podcast. I’m glad to see her in this channel. Thanks Sean for a wonderful video.
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.
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.
Great stuff, an insightful & thoughtful video (as usual!) and absolutely stunning work from Margaret.
I’m not an introvert, but I’m always interested to learn how other creatives work. Very cool!
OMG what an amazing lady and talent thank you so much for sharing Margaret's story with us.
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. ❤
Margaret has very deep soulful eyes.
To me photography is something that will appeal to an introvert as we use the camera to express our thoughts and feelings through the art we create. The biggest problem I have as an introvert is people who think I have to share my work on (un)social media to be successful; my comment is I don't want to hear from arrogant idiots who don't know what I'm about because of artistic or technical choices I made (brand of camera/model etc.).
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.
A remarkably inspiring human being creating truly stunning art! THANK YOU for sharing her with the world.
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
Brilliant. Actually, being introvert really doesn't mean that you're shy; or that you don't want to be around people; that's so true. When the world stops talking, you can hear the spirit whispering to you. That's eternal truth rather than finite noise. The introvert looks within. Its the only way to eternal life. The noise of the world is mere distraction.
Beautiful photography!
Beautiful images.
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.
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!
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.
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 👍❤
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.
Sean, Great Video. Lovely to hear her speak. I have read Quiet. Its a brilliant book, and helped me understand a lot about myself. I will probably read it again some day as there are likely more layers to peel back and understand. I think we (humankind) exsit along multiple continuums. Our personalities are complex and we all lie somewhere between Extrovert and Introvert. Maybe a little space and quiet in all our lives would benefit society.
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.
Margaret has very beautiful work 🎉 I understand her need to be alone and for sure these are the times one produces some very creative works. Even among a group of people outdoors , I find myself stepping away and that's when I am settled on my own photography
I really enjoyed this interview. I'm a fan of Margaret's photography, along with her podcast, and UA-cam channel.
Wonderful. I'd love more profiles of introverted creatives doing amazing work. Thank you
Although everyones' images in your interviews are beautiful. I really enjoy listening to people talk. That's the most important thing for me. Taking in someone's experiences. Their work comes last. People come first.
Viewed your Why No One Cares about Photograpy (may have not got the wording right altogether) before this one. These two have simply set the tone of my day today. Thank you for these thoughtful and "thinking" videos.
Thank you Sean…your posts always resonate with me…love how you combine championing others along with how to’s…🙏
Wonderful work, both with the camera and the brush. I too miss the water living up in Cusco, grew up at the sea, maybe time for a move...not a fan of the word introvert, it is a small-sounding word whereas what should becdescribed is the heightened power within which becomes the focus rather than needing power from others, internal force rather than external, so-called introverts are actually stronger from their own source and more resilient and independent spiritually. It is just a matter of recognising this and finding expression through processes like photography.
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.
Very interesting, and on the face of it inspiring, certainly with the unrestricted access to idyllic beaches.
But left wondering what it was that was seen. Very brave to share with such openness and honesty, but this personal situation feels like it may be something deeper than simply being a creative introvert - one would like to think you can be this way without having to wait for children to leave home and remove oneself to a relatively remote island. Financially not a viable life choice for most either.
Due to this, personally I'd be slightly concerned about using the word 'advice' in the title, suggesting removing oneself from family etc.
Wonderfully put together video though.
Super video. I could have to her for an hour or more. Finding space in the world as an introvert can be difficult. Appreciating your own value is a beginning. Her work is magnificent.
Hi Sean - really enjoy your videos and this was no exception - just wondered though, given the nature of your subject’s approach to her creativity, if you could have slowed the editing - it felt a little rushed?
magical seascapes
I am always appreciative to these kinda videos u create!! …. As always Sean… Superb!!! Be well and I’ll see u in the next one….
Great video, story and photographer. Most inspiring photography video I have seen in quite some time. fantastic work!
She's alright. Painting and photos of waves, innit. Not a great deal of interest, if you are a passive aggressive into both waves and grittiness. Boring, in fact.
Wonderful. What an inspiration.
lovely. in case anyone sees this, i tried purchasing her books on her website but nothing happens when i try adding anything to the cart. hopefully it's just me.
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.
Thank you and to her! 🙏🏻❤️
Interesting! FWIW, make the videos the way you want. Images at the end bothers this viewer not at all!
Kim Grant is another deeply insightful photographer whose yt channel brings great peace and appreciation
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.
What a beautiful video and a beautiful person. Fellow creative introvert here!
This was incredibly inspiring.
Thanks for keep sharing with the community all this very interesting humans.
I have to say, it's a bit sad that her events are mostly populated by women. I found her story amazing and some of her sample shots were inspiring, and I could care less of her gender. In the end I suppose it is good if she can inspire other women. I guess the big issue is that she even needs to try.
Thanks for this video of such an interesting and stimulating person. I have so loved watching it!
I don’t know why but this just kept reminding me of “the Banshees of Inisherin”
Excellent video a true artist in photography and painting and will be in writing for sure.
Just beautiful. The video, Margaret, and her work!
Very inspirational,, we need more inspiration like this and Margaret's story is amazing,
That is so inspiring! I can relate so much.. Thank you Sean and Margaret.
such a gift, and support. tremendous love. thank you both.
Great video, great person and what a beautiful life and wonderful place she lives in. Ottawa Canada
I have followed her work for some time now. Amazing work and outlook on living a creative life.
Well, I will wait for the end.
Can never decide if im an introvert, or i just dont like people ... Maybe both ha
Beautifully created video Sean, and she has a stunning background story and work.
This has been very inciteful and inspiring, thank you!
Inspirational photographer, and extraordinary work!
Fantastic interview! I found the best day to cope with being an introvert is to pretend to be an extravert.
I thought that I'm an introvert. Not so, I am autistic. Margaret shows some autistic traits.
Merci de m'avoir fait connaître Margaret Soraya. Je me suis abonnée à son site.

Wonderful & inspiring. Thank you.
