Lili Schullin

Lili is an Austrian photographer driven by connection, authenticity, and the magnetic pull of character. Rooted in movement and shaped by her background as a dancer, her practice explores the expressive power of the body - its subtle gestures, tensions, and emotionally-rich language.

At the heart of her work lies a desire to create a space where people feel truly at ease - comfortable, seen, and free to express themselves as they are. At its core, it’s about turning a shoot into a shared moment - one that honours the subject and the energy they bring, where performance feels like presence, to which she responds. She watches for the realness, the breath between the poses, the flicker of emotion. That’s where the image lives. The unveiled moments are charged with emotional truth and narrative depth, revealing glimpses of vulnerability, drama, and trust. Authenticity, for her, is the natural result of trusting the moment.

Throughout her Commercial Photography studies at London College of Communication, Lili has built a portfolio rooted in dynamic storytelling - from sportswear campaigns, lifestyle and fashion editorials to performance-driven portraiture and commercial images. Lili’s work focuses on how the human form interacts with its surroundings - creating layered textures that feel raw yet refined and composed. Her visual language combines a stripped-back, cinematic aesthetic with urban textures, faded tones, and the timeless clarity of black-and-white. 

Blending conceptual thinking with brand-conscious awareness, she crafts images that feel alive and unfiltered. Whether photographing dancers, athletes, actors, or models, Lili approaches each shoot with curiosity, collaboration, and sensitivity to rhythm and emotion - creating layered studies of character, movement, and connection that linger far beyond the frame.
