Do you want to explore Cuba together with two experienced photographers? In May, Sven Creutzmann and I will lead a super exciting photo workshop. The two photographers know the Caribbean photo heaven more than most others.
Cuba is a unique country—whatever else you may think of it politically; for a photographer the country is full of exceptional photo opportunities. Photographically speaking, it hardly matches any other place in the world. And by attending the photo workshop this year you will be able to witness a historical time for the country. Already the times are changing rapidly. If communism still isn’t on is way out, the mix of stall centrally controlled governance and a new, more open economy, is swiftly shifting the old Cuba into a modern, but also more global lookalike. Some of the uniqueness is vanishing—for better and worse. Now is the time to experience the uniqueness of Cuba. And what better way than together with Creutzmann and me who have, respectively, lived in and travel to the country for more than 25 years.
The workshop «Street photography in Cuba» is set partly in Havana and partly in Trinidad. It’s a exceptional opportunity to experience the colourful and warm people of the Caribbean island. And you will combine it with the teaching of two very experienced workshop instructors. They provide you with valuable lessons and individual feedback for you to develop as a photographer. Or as a former participant expressed: «I developed greatly as a photographer.» The workshop is really about picture making and developing your photographic vision. Why don’t you join?
In Flow with Otto 
Interesting article otto, but i want to let you know that this is my first time i am reading about Cuba.. Ah!!
Well, never to late for a first. 🙂
We probably won’t make it to Cuba this year but I wish I could join your workshop.
Don’t worry. There will be more chances. 🙂
Oh, Otto, you are leading me into temptation! I will click onto your link to get more information! Thank you anyway for this great opportunity.
Tempting is of course what I was trying to do. So maybe it works… Thanks, Martina.
My husband doesn’t seem to be enthusiastic about this idea! Anyway, it’s a great proget and I wish you all the best.
Thank you, Martine. 🙂
Wish that I could join you. Hope enrollment soars.
Thank you, Sally.
I am saving up!! but won’t make it this year.
No problem. But keep saving. 🙂
What an incredible trip this would be ~ wishing you great success and look forward to photos and your stories. Cheers!
Thank you, Randall.
An exciting place! The place is like an unexplored location in the world..and have been waiting to be open up.
do you still think that cuba is a good place to live cheaply? or will what’s going on politically change all that? really like the che mural in the picture!
Cuba is not really a good place to live cheaply compared to other Latin-American countries. It’s been like that for a long time and won’t change with the present changes going on. 🙂
can you recommend a good cheap country to live with good medical?
go look at this picture, i posted it in honour of our discussion lol https://nazarethbe.wordpress.com/2016/02/27/no-title/
Thank you, Elaine.
I can only wish I could be on this course. Cuba is one country I would like to visit and it would even be better doing so with people who know it. I wish you all the best.
Thank you for the well-wishing. Maybe another time, then…
That sounds like a great project!
(I will also travel to Cuba this year and I look forward to all the photographing opportunities it will bring.)
It’s going to be a great trip, I am sure. Have fun and photograph a lot!
I sure will, thank you :))
I wish you the very best with your workshop Otto! Wish I could be there!
Thank you, Adrian. Would have been fun to have you come along. 🙂
It is a treasure for the photographer and we feel that you had fun !! pretty
Thank you for the comment, Pat.
As time has gone I am completely convinced that I would like to attend one of your workshops.
Now I just have to fit this in with other plans. And find the economy for it 🙂
And this time it does not work for me. I’ve just been in Oman (an amazing trip). And this summer I will be grandfather for the first time 🙂
Don’t worry about Cuba now. I will be delighted if you ever get a chance. Enjoy becoming a grandfather not too long from now!
