Kristian Schuller was born in Transylvania and grew up between two worlds. The creative freedom of his family home stood in strong contrast to the gray dreariness of everyday life under communism. After arriving in the West, he was overwhelmed by color, freedom, and the feeling that anything was possible—experiences that continue to shape his photography to this day.

Years later, Schuller returned to Transylvania to rediscover the world of his childhood through photography. As if in a road movie, he travels with his wife Peggy through villages and landscapes, encountering people with respect and curiosity. His portraits are born of closeness and trust. They connect memory and the present, origins and return—and tell the story of a world that is part of his own history.

Kristian Schuller, born in Transylvania, studied photography under F. C. Gundlach and fashion under Vivienne Westwood. Today, he works internationally as a photographer. Together with his wife, Peggy, he develops his distinctive visual style.
