Justus Lemm is a photographer based in Berlin, Germany, who recently completed his studies at the Ostkreuzschule of Photography. His graduation project, "Lithics," delved into places and materials closely linked to early human history. Serving as a research-based, speculative documentary work, it explored questions surrounding the origins of human behavior, our interaction with the world, and the fragility of human existence.
Influenced by his background in Biology and a growing concern for the current and future state of the world, he often examines themes related to environmental issues and human behavior.
He also works as a freelance photographer, specializing in editorial, portrait, and documentary contexts.
