Please enjoy this wonderful Cuban resort photo shoot featuring Cuban model Leisa. I traveled there in the spring of 2014 and needless to say, left a little piece of my heart behind after becoming acquainted with her there and later in the colonial city where she lives. My love of Latin music and salsa dancing lead me there and my camera has a way of finding beauty everywhere and as we know Cuban women are among the most beautiful in the world with their rich, mixed cultural heritage. Special thanks to the resort for the incredible hospitality.
It was my first time there and I brought my Canon 60D and my Canon 50mm, 1.4f lens because I was afraid to bring my pro camera. The 1.4f tends to go a bit soft wide open which I should have stopped down a bit, but I was so excited to be finally shooting in Cuba and shooting with her as we had just met the night before when I was shooting the beauty pageant. I will bring a better 50mm this time around. A collection of good, but cheaper primes would be less conspicuous if you plan on shooting when out and about, than a large, top zoom lens.
