Beyond the postcard
Once the Paris of the Antilles with picturesque beaches, Cap-Haitien has turned into a refuge city absorbing people who have lost their homes fleeing the violence in Haiti's capital Port‑au‑Prince. The influx of displaced people has pushed the largest city in northern Haiti far beyond its capacity.

About Artist
Philipp Schmieja
Self-taught photographer and passionate traveler. I discovered my passion for photography during traveling African countries. I had developed a fascination for tribes. This has been underpinned by my passion for photography. Tribal people are those who have unique customs. They often have a symbiotic bond with the environments in which they live. I am using photography as a medium to capture candid moments as well as community spirit and portraits. And in that moment, through my lens, I am seeking to portray the soul of the places by blending intimate people photography with striking imagery of cultural heritage.
