Dude, that scene at 3:18 looks just like that classic Alex Webb scene with the magazine and the two sets of couples from Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. So cool

Ése es mi barrio y lo conozco de memoria. ¡Cuántas fotos no he hecho caminando las calles de la Habana Vieja! La miseria sólo está superada por la bondad de su gente. Gracias por mostrarla!

Definitely some food for thought. The quality of the images underlines you know what you're talking about.

That is true, talking to locals I think is the best tips as they will know the area better and sometimes you can make lifetime friends.

Cuba looks awesome, hope I can visit someday! Still a little paranoid about travelling during the pandemic.

This video was great, and really insightful. Would you consider making a video explaining how you gain access to your subjects? For example, the portrait session in this video? Thanks for sharing these tips, it will definitely help a lot

I would love to visit Cuba. Years ago a coworker was traveling to Cuba. I gave her two disposable cameras and told her to shoot anything that looks interesting. I had the cameras processed and scanned then worked the images in Lightroom. Fascinating set of images.

This was great. I starting to carry a little Notebook with me, but I still haven't found time to makes notes, but this video gives me hope that I will start it.
