First destination in Cuba

Havana 2017

March 14, 2021

There is always a myth in my head that Cuba is the perfect place for street photography. Havana is the most popular spot for all street photography geeks. In December 2017, I travelled from Hong Kong all the way to the other side of the globe and Havana was the first stop we stayed. It is a vibrant city with so many colour and patterns that is great for every photographers to capture some nice images.

I have selected 24 images during my stay in Havana. All images taken with Leica M10 with Summicron 35mm f2 IV Pre-a (King of Bokeh).
