Jon Cuadros (b. 1991, South Florida) grew up in Miami and spent several years traveling across the United States before settling in Berlin, where he has been based since 2015. He studied photography with Anders Petersen and received formal documentary training at the Ostkreuzschule für Fotografie.
In 2021, he co-founded Studio Linné, a floral design studio producing botanical installations for fashion, film, and cultural clients. This marked a four year hiatus from photography, ending in 2025 with the publication of Weightless at Last (HARDEL, 2025).
Cuadros explores memory, intimacy and identity, tracing how interior life is shaped by socio-political realities. He is currently in Kyiv, documenting the complexities of everyday life for those living within history as it unfolds.
His work has received international recognition, including a shortlist for the Athens Photo Festival and features at Photo London, Berlin Art Week, and OffPrint at Tate Modern.
