Cuba really taught me a lot about street photography & the importance of forming relationships with your subjects. I watched these kids jump into the small cracks of the reef of the Ocean Road in Havana. I stood back and observed as other photographers quickly approached wielding large cameras to take a photo.. at which point the kids would usually stop & ask for money. I really wanted to photograph them but knew I needed a different approach.. so I put my camera down, took off my shoes & shirt and stood on the cement wall... I jumped in. It was a terrifying leap into a small opening. The kids clapped & any lasting tension faded away. I swam around watching as one by one they jumped in, often hooting to show my support. It was obvious my presence had become less of a nuisance and I may have even earned a small sliver of their respect. I grabbed my camera and starting making pictures.. all the while making sure that they knew my first priority was just being an observer. This resulted in not only my favorite Cuba image but also my favorite experience.

travelologie_ Never thought when you told us that story in your workshop, that I would be traveling to Cuba myself. I get to spend 13 days there exploring next month and I’m so stoked!!!🤙🏼#stokefarming

asaboat_2bali.indo Whereas in Indonesia, Bali, the kids pose for me voluntarily. Different country, different culture. Having said that I like the connection you built with them.
