Street scenes and people of Cuba

Last month I was in Cuba at a very interesting time, just days after the U.S. announced the progressive restoration of diplomatic relations with the Caribbean country. That was indeed the topic that came up in virtually every conversation.

Cuba is a photographer’s paradise, full of life and colors in every corner.

Stay tuned for more images, also on my online catalog.
