Photographer captures everyday life in today's Cuba

Ernesto González Díaz presents a series of 24 photographs taken recently in Cuba, featuring people of various ages, groups, and social backgrounds. These images are not posed portraits but candid shots that reflect the current social and human dynamics of the country. The collection aims to illustrate aspects of daily life without focusing solely on facial expressions.

In a new photographic feature published by Havana Times, Cuban photographer Ernesto González Díaz offers an intimate view of contemporary society in Cuba. The series, titled 'People of Today's Cuba', consists of 24 photographs taken in recent days. Díaz explains that the images are not conventional or posed portraits; the subjects were unaware they were being photographed, adding an element of spontaneity.

Díaz's approach extends beyond typical street portrait focus on facial expressions. Instead, it aims to document social and human interactions in Cuba's current context, encompassing diversity in ages and social groups. This method allows for a reflection on the country's collective dynamics today.

The publication, dated January 21, 2026, invites readers to explore more photo features on the Havana Times site. Through these lenses, an unofficial portrait of Cuban life emerges, capturing authentic moments amid everyday realities.
