Street Photography CUBA

Street Photography
The insights I’ve gained into other people’s lives through street photography have been nothing short of extraordinary. For me, this art form is about capturing the beauty of the everyday—documenting fleeting moments that might otherwise be forgotten. It’s a way of preserving history in motion, revealing the raw, unfiltered essence of humanity.
My camera is more than just a tool; it’s a bridge—connecting me to people and places I might never have encountered otherwise. Through the lens, I observe the rhythms of strangers' lives and, in doing so, recognize how deeply interconnected we all are.
Though I explore many styles of photography today, I came to it later in life. I was about 30 when I first picked up a camera, never imagining it would shape my future.
I used to be shy, uneasy in crowds. Then, my stepfather gifted me a 35mm film camera—an unassuming gesture that turned out to be life-changing. That camera pulled me out of my shell and set me on a path filled with adventure, much like Bilbo Baggins leaving the Shire.
For the past 25 years, I’ve traveled the world, capturing moments that speak to the shared human experience. Whenever magazines pay me for my work, I still marvel at the fact that I get to do what I love—and that people value it enough to support me in the process.
