We sit down with Lilly, a Sheffield-based music photographer who left her government job to pursue her creative passion full-time. She opens up about overcoming fear, freelancing struggles, ADHD, and the emotional highs and lows of working in the UK music scene. From shooting underground raves to capturing big-name artists, Lilly shares how she built her career from the lockdown years to shooting for major magazines — all while staying true to her moody, light-and-dark aesthetic.
