Bio
Austrian artist LUKAS M. HÜLLER stages photographs like paintings
and thereby creates visual stories and messages as a photographic artist and commissioned artist. Individual and detailed storyboards form the basis of these photographic works. The photographs have an often misleading, painterly style and captivate with high-resolution detail of gigapixel photography.
