Cuba Through a Photographer's Eyes

Type “Cuba” into your search engine and the first photos you’ll see are bright images of old-school cars and colonial-style buildings. But that’s a small part of Cuba. The real Cuba is chattering local women, cooling down with cups of lemonade, or fishermen passing time on the Malecón. Yes, the cars are there (and they are Insta-worthy) but there’s much more to local life on the island. For those of us who can’t hop on one of the first, direct commercial flights to Cuba from the United States, here’s a look at the island nation through the eyes of photographer Luis Cárdenas.
