The Art and Soul of Cuba

copyright David Julian Join renowned photographer David Julian to experience and photograph the real, authentic Cuba. For seven years, David's groups have been fully licensed to travel in Cuba as Humanitarian Delegations. Cuba is unlike any other nation. Its rich history, resilient people, and artistic legacy make it truly unique. We explore its vibrant colors, historic elegance, and daily life in cities and villages.

Authentic cultural exchanges offer endless opportunities to photograph a rich cross-section of culture authentically. Guided daily by Dave’s Cuban friends, we journey on foot and by private van or restored vintage cars from Old Havana to rural Vinales and Trinidad. We stay in a comfortable Havana hotel and in Casas Particulars for a truly authentic cultural experience that also supports the Cuban people.

Cuba’s regional cuisine offers delicious meals for all diets that are largely farm-to-table and always organic. We welcome the adventurous traveler who is passionate about experiencing cultural adventures in unique places. We offer expert guidance in capturing authentic moments with any camera, including smartphones.

Rather than staging scenes, we focus on real visual storytelling—observing, connecting, and responding to life as it unfolds. With a small group size, Dave, his Cuban guides, and friends provide daily guidance to help you build a stunning portfolio, capturing street life, dancers, musicians, classic cars, and Cuba’s golden light. Join us for an unforgettable Cuban adventure!
