Cuba’s Working Class
While studying abroad in Cuba, I created a series of portraits of different working class people. Along with the portraits, I conducted impromptu interviews to get to know each person. Cuba’s culture and people have been underreported and misunderstood throughout the years. I learned that although they all have different careers, they are all brought together by hard work and love.
