Go beyond
selfies in
Cuba.

There's a version of Havana most travelers never see. We've been photographing it since 2017 — the hidden courtyards, the golden hour on streets with no name, the moments that happen when you stop trying to find the perfect shot and just live.

01About us

Through the eyes
of someone who
lives here.

We started in 2017 as film students with a camera and a simple idea — that the best way to experience Havana is through the eyes of someone who actually lives here. Nine years later, we're a team of five photographers and filmmakers who still get excited every time a traveler sees this city for the first time.

Every session supports the locals who make it happen — our photographers, our drivers, the bartenders who have your mojito ready before you sit down. When you book with us, your money stays in the hands of the people who call this place home.

03In their own words

Every picture
has a story —
here's theirs.

Every review below is from a guest who actually showed up, paid, and walked the streets with us.

05FAQs

The questions
we always get.

  • Havana rain is mostly fast and dramatic and great for pictures. If it's a real downpour, we move under an arcade or shift to the next morning at no extra cost.
