Beauty in Cuba

Before October 2018, I really had no desire to go to Cuba. Never been there, didn’t know much about it, and never thought about it. That was then. My friend and mentor Bill Woody suggested we go to Cuba and shoot ballet dancers. What? So, by March 2019, I’m flying to Havana to shoot 16 dancers from the Cuban National Ballet, who are the best in the world I’m told, and we’d probably get to shoot them in some exotic places. So, it starts.

This is a Story about that photo journey to Cuba that turned into so much more. Everybody who goes to Cuba has their own Impression of it, and I am no different. As I got to know Cuba, I found it to be a total contrast, between the Old and the New, between Capitalism and Communism, the wealthy and the poor, it defied everything that made sense...
My goal is to tell the story with photos and some supporting words, I hope it makes sense…But then, why would it?
