Lilith Vulgaris is a fetishist, photographer and writer whose work explores kink, fetish, gender, and sexuality through a queer and trans lens.

Her work, across a broad and varied career, has largely focused on portraiture, which upon falling into London’s kink and fetish scene in 2021 has become her primary focus. As both exhibitionist and voyeur, her work seeks to transpose her subjects’ predilections and perversions into images that express how they truly want to be seen and interpreted, with some works filtered through Vulgaris’ own voyeuristic and fetishistic lens. She’s curious about the transposition of fetish iconography and imagery into alternative contexts, placing the artifice and otherness of the gimp, doll, or other such fetishist into dreamlike or cinematic realms that hold ancient power and mysticism, or into more confronting and contemporary settings. Who are we when we are ourselves, when we desire, and when those selves and identities are pushed out of the bedroom or darkroom and into the world?

Her work is made exclusively on analogue media: primarily 35mm and medium-format film photography and subsequent processing techniques, with some forays into more obscure printmaking methods. 

She lives and works in London.
