Vanishing Cuba with Special Guest Trevor Cole – Join us in November 2025

Trevor, an award-winning documentary and portrait photographer, is known for his ability to capture the essence of people and places in a way that is both powerful and intimate.

Together, they will lead an exclusive group of photographers on an unforgettable nine-day adventure through Havana, Viñales, and Trinidad—three of Cuba’s most visually and culturally rich destinations.

This is more than just a photo tour; it is a rare opportunity to learn from two seasoned professionals while immersing yourself in the magic of a country that feels frozen in time.

With nearly 40 trips to Cuba, Michael has developed a deep connection to its people, culture, and ever-changing landscape. This experience has given him an insider’s perspective, allowing the group to access hidden corners of Cuba that most travelers never see. Michael’s stunning Cuba photography collection can be experienced in his impressive 350-page photo storytelling book Vanishing Cuba. Trevor, with his extraordinary eye for light and human connection, brings a fresh perspective that will inspire participants to elevate their photography

Together, they will challenge and guide our guests to think beyond snapshots and instead create meaningful visual stories. Whether capturing the soulful expressions of a tobacco farmer in Viñales, the rhythmic movement of a street musician in Trinidad, or the raw energy of Havana’s bustling alleyways, this tour will push photographers to see beyond the obvious and embrace the extraordinary.

Our journey will take us through a diverse range of photographic opportunities. In Havana, we will dive into the vibrant street life with locals, where classic cars, colonial architecture, and everyday moments create a visual symphony.

Viñales will offer breathtaking landscapes, misty valleys, and intimate encounters with local farmers tending their fields in the early morning light, and cowboys riding off into the sunset. And in Trinidad, where time seems to stand still, we’ll explore cobblestone streets, pastel-colored facades, and the warmth of locals who have lived their entire lives within this UNESCO World Heritage site.

Along the way, we will introduce new locations and fresh perspectives, ensuring that even returning PWA guests to Cuba see the island with new eyes.

But this tour is not just about photography—it’s about exploring, learning, growing, and enjoying. Trevor and Michael will share their techniques, philosophies, and personal approaches to photography through hands-on instruction, critiques, and spontaneous moments of inspiration. They’ll experiment with light and composition, refine the art of storytelling, and push creative boundaries.

Each day will be filled with new challenges, encouraging photographers to step outside their comfort zones and discover their unique visual voice.

Beyond the photography, this experience is about the joy of travel, camaraderie, and inspiration. We’ll share stories over traditional Cuban meals, enjoy lively music-filled evenings, and embrace the warmth and resilience of the Cuban people.

The friendships formed on this journey will be as unforgettable as the images captured. For those who dream of photographing Cuba with an expert’s eye—this is a one-time opportunity to learn from two passionate photographers while capturing a country that is as visually stunning as it is culturally rich.

Join today! We expect this to sell out quickly.
