WARNING: The following will make you want to go to Cuba, immediately

Photographing Cuba was one of the easiest gigs I’ve ever had. This gorgeous country is like a well-trained model, effortlessly showing off her best bits… Only in a grungy, dirty, derelict way. The dirtiness is what makes her so beautiful and such an interesting country to capture. The following is a collection of my favourite black and white snaps taken from all over Cuba, showcasing the relaxed, anything-goes Cuban way of life.

Photos from Left to Right, Top to Bottom: 1. A typical street scene in Havana, 2. A young Cuban boy hangs out in a Havana back alley, 3. A street in Havana filled with rubbish, 4. The skyline in Havana, 5. The Cuban Rap Agency with Bicycle taxi, 6. An Onion Seller, 7. Hamel Street Art in Havana, 8. An old wooden door in Trinidad, 9. The Malecon in the afternoon, Havana, 10.
