Scenes from Cuba & preview of Photo Night
Hello Friends, thanks for bearing with our lack of posting during our absence as of late. As some of you know, we took a personal trip to Cuba. This was a much needed trip after a non-stop 8 months of work both in studio and on location. We were due for some personal time and Cuba was the perfect destination to re-fuel our souls both personally and creatively again.
Our cravings for personal travel often take us to parts of the world that always leave us curious and longing for more about their people, culture and history. Cuba was definitely on the top of our list and thanks to some dear friends, we were able to organize a small, intimate culture exchange trip. This amazing trip to the bustling city of Havana and the rural Western slopes of the island left us with a deeper understanding of Cuban culture and passion. We were also working on some personal creative projects here in Cuba, which we’ll be sharing more of soon.
Intimate Photo Night with us: For now, we wanted to share a preview of an event we’re holding at our private studio. We weren’t planning to announce it till the end of the month, but we wanted to you, our regular readers, a sneak peak & first chance to attend. On Wednesday, December 14, 2011 we’re having a special evening of photo & video, where we share with you our personal photography journey. We’ll be sharing private, personal images and video from our private collections. You’ll be able to see our personal work and inspirations that define us as photographers and filmmakers beyond what you see on our blog.
You can pre-register here on the reservation site.
In the meantime, here are some moments we were able to capture from our trip. We’ll also be sharing in depth, the stories behind these images from Cuba during Photo Night.
All photographs were captured with the iPhone 4 & edited on iPhone 4.

Absolutely beautiful. I felt as if I were flipping through a LIFE magazine spread. You two… you’re so good together at this stuff.
I am such a huge fan. You have helped me see photography in a very different wonderfully inspiring way.
Cuba is such a wonderful country. I bet that you will have some amazing photographs when you get home. Have a brilliant time, I am so jealous of you!!
Y’all are so amazing, even with an iphone! It’s not about the gadget, it’s a passion and you both do it so well 🙂
With only an iPhone in hand, you managed to capture the soul and spirit of the people and places. How I wish I could attend your photo night…what a lovely way to share your personal photos.
Having never been to Cuba, these photos give me a great idea of the food, atmosphere and fun I could have there. I love the one of the dinner by candle light the best. 🙂
These photos are fantastic, they remind me pictures from my dad’s travels around South America in the early 1950’s. Love the black and white images vs. color. They evoke so much more!
May I ask how you edited your photos on the iPhone 4? Is there an app that you use to do that? I love taking photos on my cell, but some can turn out yellow looking, etc., due to poor lighting and I was wondering if there’s anything I can do about that. Thanks! Glad to see you guys taking a break in Cuba 🙂
Hi Christyna.
There are several apps we like on the iPhone for editing. Two that we use the most are Filterstorm and Noir. Filterstorm is great for most all edits and Noir is great for Black and White. Hope that helps!

Thanks! Downloaded the app and looking forward to figuring it all out.
The photo of the cab – looks like it was taken right out of the 1950’s. What an amazing trip that must have been!
What an amazing and special trip this must have been. The photographs are evocative and leave a lasting impression. Theres something about B & W, and then theres something about WORs B & W…beautiful!! What a wonderful window on a country I know little of.
Wonderful photos. I love it that they were taken with your iPhone as well. Just great. You have such an inspiring blog. Thank you.
You’re both constantly an inspiration to me! I loved seeing some of these images on twitter & instagram. I wish I could be there next month!!! I need to make a trek to LA to visit you all! 🙂 xoxo Thank you, as always for everything!
so love you guys and whenever i find myself here, i’m always dreaming of ways to move to LA . . .
I love Cuba and can’t wait to go back there with a different persepective. Thanks for sharing your take on this magnificent country.
You guys always amaze me….but these are simply stunning. I can not wait to see more pictures of your trip to Cuba!!
The images are amazing and the one of that young girl, the story you told on your IG feed…so powerful and moving.
I am so happy for you two that you had this time away; sounds like it was much needed and that it really recharged your batteries.
I will be out of the country in December otherwise I would be reserving my spot for the 14th. Darn!
