Is it possible to leave everything behind and build a life that revolves around creativity and adventure?
Lilia Siemens and Kai Schiffers, also known as 'Lilia and Kai', are a talented photography and filmmaking couple who embarked on an incredible journey in 2019. Leaving their corporate lives in Germany, they bought their first camera and set off on a global adventure with no set return date. Through years of ‘learning by doing,’ they evolved from travel vloggers into respected visual artists, now known for their ethereal, emotionally charged style that captivates audiences.
In this episode, we discuss:

  • How travel and minimalism transformed their artistic vision and approach to life.
  • The challenges of content creation with Kai’s genetic tremor, and the solutions they found to keep producing quality work.
  • Balancing social media pressures with authenticity, and how they navigate the digital space while staying true to their vision.
  • The evolution of their unique visual style and the creative process behind their atmospheric visuals.
  • Client relationships and creative freedom, including their approach to pitching and collaborating with brands.
