Lester Kielstein (b. 2002, Hannover) is a documentary photographer whose work combines long-form field research with careful visual sequencing. Working across books and exhibitions, he uses photography as a mode of inquiry into how images shape public understanding—particularly around questions of power, visibility, and political discourse. His recent work has focused on the shifting terrains of migration, far-right mobilization, and collective protest movements. Kielstein received his BA in Photography from ECAL (2025).  He lives and works in Lausanne, Switzerland.
