Meet Lilianna
Lilianna Story is a photographer from Texas, specializing in fine art photography from different parts of the world.
Lilianna started photographing professionally over 20 years ago. She was mostly influenced by her father, who was also a photographer. He taught her how to photograph with heart. He photographed presidents and celebrities, including John Kennedy, Jacquelin Onassis and Lyndon B. Johnson. His favorite work involved human interest stories and this taught Lilianna how to capture life through the lens.
"My goal is to capture people and places which evoke emotion and help tell a story."

Learn more about Lilianna in our Q+A!
How did your business come to exist?
I never set out to be a photographer. I started photographing with my father‘s camera. Then someone asked me to photograph professionally. I was fearful, but then I said yes. I’ve enjoyed it ever since.
What are you known for?
Many people will say my work is known for capturing light and giving importance to negative space in a photograph. But ultimately, the observer defines that.
What are you currently working on?
I recently returned from India, so I am working on a series for exhibition.

What is your favorite part of your job?
Being able to give and serve this way is humbling and makes me happy.
What is the best piece of advice that you have ever gotten?
My father always says, “enjoy it, share it, and remember that it does not come from you.”
What do you like to do when you are not working?
I love family. Being around them, re-energizes my soul.
CHARRO
What is your biggest challenge?
My biggest challenge is promoting my work. It feels awkward to self promote.
Who/What are your biggest influences?
My parents are a big influence to me. They are honest and loving and very nurturing. Above all, God steers me.
What is your dream project?
My dream project would be to photograph a unique culture that no one really knows about. And working with children, I love working with children.
