Benyamin Reich is a photographer exploring the complex intersections of Jewish identity, sexuality, and belonging in contemporary Berlin. Raised in an ultra-Orthodox family in B'nei B'rak, Israel, Reich's practice draws deeply from his personal journey of leaving that world and settling in Berlin. His photographs examine how Jewish and non-Jewish Germans navigate relationships in Berlin, often using clothing and style to reveal unspoken histories between communities. Reich challenges traditional concepts of Orthodox Jews as separate from the world around them and pushes against the rigid gender separation of Orthodox life, creating images that explore intimacy, desire, and the body in ways that would be forbidden in his former community. Though he works with staged photographs his work captures everyday life — documenting the ordinary moments that shape human experience regardless of religious background. This duality defines his practice: provocative questioning of identity boundaries alongside tender observations of universal rituals. In Berlin's diverse, fluid cultural landscape, Reich finds space to blend borrowed identities and explore what connects us beyond nation, religion, or tradition.
