Natural Sources by Jochen Lempert

A photobook by German photographer Jochen Lempert.

With a background in biology, Jochen Lempert has been producing his own photographic work for over 35 years. His early work explored, with unguarded sincerity, the history and forms—sometimes distortions—of cultural fascination with the boundless diversity of plant and animal life. Over time, his focus shifted toward the nature of perception itself and how it becomes image: how the life forms of flora and fauna mirror, inform, and intertwine with his own creative process.

Lempert’s photographs are strikingly minimalist, created using only the most essential tools—an analogue camera and photographic paper—but they are imbued with quiet poetic force and a profound understanding of the natural world, the very foundation of our existence. Natural Sources follows his 2013 publication "Phenotype" (also published by Walther König) and marks his second major collection of works.
