Dance and Street Photography in Havana - January 2019
Dance and street photography were the main subjects of a week-long Santa Fe Photographic Workshop held in Havana in January 2019, directed by Jennifer Spelman and Tricia Cronin. Leysis Quesada and I collaborated as instructors. We photographed a wide spectrum of dance, from Afro Cuban, to flamenco, to contemporary dance, to ballet. We worked with companies as Raíces Profundas, BanRarrá, Flamenca Ecos, ProDanza, and Malpaso, and shot in the National ballet School. Used ballerinas as models in houses and in nearby beaches. The group also did documentary (street) photography in Old Havana, and in Cojímar. I personally did very little work, more interested in making students achieve their goals. Despite this, here comes a sample of some shots taken that week.
