About


Justus Lemm is a Berlin-based photographer whose work examines the relationship between individuals, society and the environment, and how these elements influence how we feel and respond to the world around us. A recent graduate of the Ostkreuzschule of Photography, Lemm's practice is grounded in an artistic-documentary approach, which is complimented by critical research and observational photography. His work often explores the intersections between art and social or natural sciences. A recurring theme in his work is the exploration of isolation and alienation in our lives. 

Lemm also works as a freelance photographer specializing in editorial, portrait, and documentary work.
