Capturing the Essence of Cuba: 90 Miles to Another World

Posted on Tuesday, August 31

Travel photographer, instructor and international tour guide Ralph Velasco will present images from a recent humanitarian trip to Cuba where he and other Americans distributed medical and school supplies to benefit the Cuban people.  In his presentation, using the vibrant colors and interesting people of Cuba as a backdrop, he’ll discuss how to effectively capture the essence of a place with photographs.

Ralph Velasco is an award-winning photographer whose images have been published in the Los Angeles Times, Orange County Register and Chicago Tribune. He has traveled throughout five continents and is a member of the Circumnavigators Club, a unique group of travelers whose charter requires that its members have traveled around the world, in a single journey, crossing every one of Earth’s meridians. He has also just released a new book titled: “Ralph Velasco On Travel Photography: 101 Tips for Developing Your Photographic Eye & More.”
