Cultural FAQs

What is cultural photography?

Cultural photography centers on capturing the essence of the local cultures of a place. The essence of a culture can be anything, from the local people, architecture, food, and even landscapes. As a photographer, you’ll immerse yourself in local cultures, while visually narrating the stories of these cultures through your lens.

What can I expect from a cultural photography tour?

Depending on where you’re headed for a cultural photography tour, you can expect different experiences based on the provided itineraries of the trips. Regardless of your destination, you’ll discover unique cultures, full of photographic opportunities, as well as have the chance to engage with local communities.

Do I need special qualifications to be part of a cultural photo tour?

With the exception of our NGO photography program, which includes an application procedure beforehand, our cultural photo tours are open to all levels of photographers. All you need is a passion for traveling and photography!

Make the most out of your Cuba holiday and learn to enhance your photography for our cultural photography tours.

Should you ask for permission to take cultural photos?

It’s important to maintain ethical photography practices when you’re on a photography trip in order to respect the local culture. You don’t want to impose on the local community in ways that can come off as intrusive, so if you’re unsure about whether you need permission, then it’s best to always ask.

If you want a better understanding of ethics in photography, we offer a perfect example of why it’s important to be mindful of how we approach photographing the communities we visit.

What does a day at a cultural photography workshop look like?
As each cultural photography workshop is unique, it’s hard to fit what a day may look like into one box. You can expect to receive guidance on your photography from an expert photographer alongside your journey, all the while embracing the rich nuances of the local culture by fully immersing yourself in the experience.

Andrew Bell's take on why Cuba makes a great photographic destination

Only opened to tourists in the last decade after half a century of political isolation, the country has a culture, aesthetic, and vibrancy that is entirely its own. From smoky low lit jazz bars to cacophonous cafe’s to the cobblestoned side streets they spill on to, Cuba is a country where your creativity with a camera can run rampant.
