Lilli Waters

My fine art practice explores many different subjects, an ongoing preoccupation is capturing the female form in landscapes. I try to encourage the viewer to look twice, beneath the surface of the work and consider both their own identity and their relationship with the environment. I photograph women to empower both them and myself, bringing forth their strength and raw, honest edges.

In 2019, ‘As the World Falls Down’ was a finalist in the National Photographic Portrait Prize, ‘In Dreams’ finalist in the Incinerator Art Award, and photographic series ‘Others Dream’ highly commended in Australasia’s Top Emerging Photographers Award. I was invited to create a self-portrait for the ABC Art Bites documentary series: Mirror in 2018 and held a solo exhibition at Craig’s Royal Hotel in collaboration with the Ballarat International Foto Biennale in 2019. Selected artworks are represented by Metro Gallery, Curatorial & Co., and Modern Times.
