He later moved to Berlin, [2] where he established a new creative hub and photo studio called The Apartment.

By the end of the 1990s Reed established a second residency in Cuba, where he made a photographic documentation of Havana. During the course of a year and a half, Reed explored the streets of Havana and their inhabitants with an 8x10 camera. The photographs are in black and white and show the ordinary life of the city, as well as more private moments. The project was presented for the first time in Havana with the name Fin de Siglo and later as an exhibition at the Kulturhuset in Stockholm. [3]

In 2012 with the publication Berliner, The Asphalt Portraits, [4] Reed presented a gallery of characters from the creative Berlin scene with a series of black and white portraits. [5]
