about
My name is Lily Clements and I am a photographer based in Texas. I have a bachelor’s of Fine art in Studio art wtih a concentration in Photography from the university of north texas.
I specialize in portraiture, using color and movement to create stories that resonate with viewers on a deeper scale.
I have been PURSUING a long-term project, The weight of grace. This project explores the deeply ingrained societal expectations placed on women to constantly perform and embody an ideal of femininity that feels just out of reach. From the pressure to be small and quiet to the exhausting cycle of self-reinvention, it reflects the tension between the desire for freedom and the guilt of not measuring up. Making things literal and upping the dramatics for an effect that feels all to real in its fiction.
I am involved in the music industry as well. Photographing concerts and applying fine art experience to the music stage, connecting with viewers and making photographs that transport you to the venue.
I am pursuing cinematography as an expansion of my work. Starting out with photo series turning into moving images working my way towards film focused Ideas and changing the way I view the world.
