Hey y’all, my name is Joerg Alexander Reichardt (@j.a.reichardt), a German photographer currently based in Berlin. I hope you’ll follow along as I share images from my trips to Havana, what I love to say, is my second home.

The majority of my work was made in and around Havana. Eventually, these constant visits prompted me to change my view, more and more the devastating poverty most people live in became clear to me, but I am not a documentarist and do not show events. I am a wanderer, a flaneur, a poet, catching images, more as an instant reaction to what I feel.

The images, which come from various bodies of works, are collectively titled “Havana Hours„ a nod to that I am always just a relatively short time in Havana, but they are also meant to serve as a record linked to my Cuban live, which is marked by my wife and my daughter who live in Havana.
