Gustav Robert Schilling was born on February 26, 1861, in Breitenbach, Germany, to Johann Carl Schilling and Rosina Schilling (née Franke). He served in the Prussian army from June 11, 1878, to February 27, 1881, before enlisting as a soldier-musician in the Dutch army on March 1, 1881. On April 10, 1883, he volunteered for service in the Dutch colonial army (KNIL), rising to the rank of sergeant bugler before retiring on October 21, 1896, in Padang, Sumatra. After his retirement, Schilling became a professional photographer, working in Fort de Kock (1898–1903) and later in Sawah Loento (1904–1908). He moved to Buitenzorg in 1909, though it is unclear if he continued his photographic work there. Schilling died on September 1, 1917, in Buitenzorg.
