Havana is as fantastic a backdrop for glamour and sensual fine-art photography as exists in this world, given its mixture of Spanish colonial and faded baroque architecture, its wealth of 1950s American cars, and its stimulating aura of exoticism. To which, add Cuba’s stunningly beautiful women, and their joyous at-ease delight in being photographed and expressing their sensuality.

This one-of-a-kind photo tour makes the most of Havana’s fantastic settings and beautiful, self-assured women. Chris’ respectful and elegant treatment of the subject pays tribute to all that is positive about the Cuban Revolution and its advancement of women’s rights and self-determination, while also honoring their own unashamedly and affirmatively self-confident and sensuous way.

We will make our selection from more than two dozen of Cuba’s most gorgeous models and ballerinas of the National Ballet of Cuba who have expressed their excitement to pose.

In addition to shooting in Havana’s made-for-Hollywood streets, photogenically dilapidated buildings, and fabulous retro mansions, we’ll feature staged shoots at such atmospheric locations as Parque José Martí stadium…. El Morro castle… derelict Teatro Campoamor… the Art Deco Teatro América… Edificio Girón… woodsy Bosque de la Habana… surreal El Jardín de la Tropical… the Cojímar fishing cooperative… and a much-faded Vedado mansion where Annie Leibowitz photographed Rhianna naked for Vanity Fair.

We plan on using this mansion extensively, as it is renowned as the perfect venue for fashion shoots. Although we’ll create our own vision, we’ll also draw  inspiration from renowned glamour photographers who have gone before us, not least Annie Leibovitz, Joan Alcina, and Steven Lyon, as well as Cuba’s own accomplished photographers, such as Izuky Pérez and L. Eduardo Dominguéz.
