Astrid Reischwitz is a Boston-based photographer whose work explores the possibilities of storytelling from a personal perspective. Her projects include intimate views of private spaces and reflections on her own history and values. Using keepsakes from family life, old photographs and storytelling strategies, she builds a visual world of memory, identity, place, and home.
Reischwitz began her study of photography at the International Center of Photography in New York soon after moving to the United States from Germany. She continued her studies at New England School of Photography, Massachusetts College of Art and Design, Lesley University, and Griffin Museum of Photography. She is a graduate of the Technical University Braunschweig, Germany, with a PhD in Chemistry.
