Photo Creativity Workshop in Cuba
City of Havana
November 10-15, 2011
Join Yannis in Havana, Cuba, an island city frozen in time. The city today may still have a
strong 1950’s feel, but reflects a vibrant culture that includes amazing music, colonial and
african influences, cigars, rum, dancing and having a good time in general. Havana features
resourceful, proud and friendly people, all part of an urban landscape that is so rich, it’s hard
deciding what not to photograph. A cultural experience seen through your lens, the workshop
features a lot of interaction with people, walking through Central Havana with its busy neigh-
bourhoods as well as visits to Old Havana.
Duration: 5 days, 4 nights
Accommodations: Four star hotels, transportation inside the island is included. Breakfast and lunch included.
Capacity: 8 people

making great travel images. Participants are encouraged to photograph people,
