Photographer Liz Seabrook is back for The Spark. Slightly subdued, a little chaotic, but still brilliantly honest.
What starts as a playful chat about matcha and East London fashion quickly becomes more reflective. There's talk of cycling rage, parachute pants, and the strange freedom of dressing however you want. But underneath it all is a deeper thread about identity, confidence and finding your place in the world.
Liz shares the small things that make a big difference to her day. Quiet time. Space to think. No distractions. A reminder that creativity often needs stillness, not noise. There's also a refreshingly direct take on side hustles. If you're serious about building something, she says, at some point you have to go all in—no half measures.
She talks about the skill she envies most. The patience to experiment, to sit with ideas, to not rush straight to the outcome. Something she's actively trying to learn.
And then the conversation shifts. Asked what she wants to be remembered for, Liz reflects on the recent loss of a friend. What follows is a quiet, powerful moment about kindness, presence and showing up for others, not just in life, but in her work as a photographer.
Because for Liz, it's never just about taking a picture. It's about creating a space where people feel safe enough to be themselves.
A gentle, thoughtful end to the episode. And a reminder that, in a world that often feels anything but, being seen and being kind still matter most.
