Classic American cars are a huge part of Cuba’s heritage – a constant reminder of the 1958 US embargo that followed Fidel Castro’s revolution. At that time, 150,000 classic cars populated the roads of Cuba; today, around 70,000 of those cars are still running. They have become iconic, representing preservation and endurance – characteristics perhaps synonymous of the Cuban people themselves.
I took this picture from a vertical perspective to capture the history, variety and richness in colour of the cars below. I scouted a tall building and watched different colour patterns form and dissipate, as cars arrived and left.
