This is an all-inclusive 4-day film photo retreat in Havana & Vinales, CUBA. We will be staying in a casa particular in the heart of Havana near the Malecon and Old Havana. All meals will be provided each day. However, there will be no styled shoots, no models, and no random brides in the street. This is going to be a real-life on film completely curated photo experience. All you have to do is show up. We will have 4 personal drivers (with 55' Bel Airs) and we will tour Old Habana, street shoot on the Malecon, have drinks at the National Hotel , Hemmingway's bar, & on the roof of the tallest building in Habana, tour a tobacco farm in Vinales, participating in the town festivities, a trip to a private beach, and wandering the streets of both Old Habana & Vinales armed with film and cameras. Each attendee will receive all portraits taken by Jonathan Canlas after the workshop. Each time slot below represents 1/14 spots available for the workshop.
