A sneak peek photo diary of a Cuban inspired photo shoot we shot today. Our model/muse is Katie Hearn, MUA is Cheryl Salinas Tucker: ROUGE, professional photos by Ashlee Harris (will follow).
Check out this real estate development and diplomatic relations story on Cuba from the Washington Post. I've been fascinated with the history of Cuba for many years and this photo shoot is my way of honoring it's distinctive cultures and glory. This is the first of a series I've organized on the subject.
It also happens that there are interesting urban planning, land asset decay and development parallels between Detroit and Cuba, "Meanwhile, elderly Cubans whose children left the island remained in large homes they couldn't afford to maintain. There were thousands of homes sitting vacant or half-empty, Coyula said" - Nick Miroff.
As Detroit is on the urban development upswing so is Cuba and I can't help but believe there will be some interesting behind the scene alliances made, in fact I know there will be. Stay tuned!
