Dina Lee is the Head of Training Staff of LIK Academy Photography + Design

“I’m Dina Lee, a portrait photographer with roots in the Koryo-saram community of Uzbekistan, now based in Vienna, Austria. My life’s journey has taken me through different countries, each enriching my experience with their diverse cultures and lifestyles. I hold a Master’s in Intercultural Communication from the University of Verona (Italy) and a Photography Diploma from the Lik Akademie für Foto und Design (Vienna, Austria). In 2013, following my graduation from LIK, I’ve launched my own portrait studio in Vienna. My specialty lies in portraits and branding images. In addition to my studio work, I’m deeply committed to personal projects that explore cultural identity and legacy through portraiture. My artworks have gained international recognition, featuring in prestigious venues like Photokina Biennale in Cologne and at the Sotheby’s Institute of Art in New York. Since 2016, I’ve been teaching at the LIK Academy, sharing my passion and knowledge with aspiring photographers. In 2023 I embraced the role of Head of Training Staff and in this capacity, I’m responsible for crafting innovative training methods and leading a team of skilled instructors. My goal is to ensure that our training programs are both cutting-edge and deeply impactful, equipping our students with the tools they need to excel in the dynamic field of digital media.”
