I create only authentic photos. So-called artificial intelligence, which goes beyond supporting image processing and is intended to replace the role of the photographer, is neither intelligent nor helpful for the further development of photography as a form of communication.
My name is Robert C. Lemm1, born in 1965.
I was given my first camera in 1977. But I was fascinated by photography much earlier2.
In the early 1980s I took over a camera from my father and also experimented with developing photographic prints with a friend in my own small laboratory.
In the late 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s, I mostly photographed while travelling or at home with my family and the children growing up. I bought my first digital camera in 2000.
Since 2006 there have been regular projects with musicians3.
Since 2019 I have also been photographing headshots and portraits and private events such as weddings or family celebrations4.

This also resulted in some publications in magazines and newspapers such as Goodtimes, Bluesnews, Gitarre & Bass, Focus and Süddeutsche Zeitung and in the context of CD and DVD productions. ↩

When I'm not travelling with a camera, I work as a freelance consultant and trainer. ↩
