Ernesto Bazan’s Cuban Trilogy

Ernesto Bazan’s Cuban Trilogy

Eight years after he had to leave Cuba, Ernesto Bazan has come out with an ambitious book of panoramic photos where multiple stories play out in each frame.

Now, in the final installment of his Cuba trilogy, he has published “Isla,” an ambitious collection of black-and-white panoramas that span genres from portrait and landscape to street photography and still lifes. Mind you, he sometimes accomplishes this in a single frame. While the panoramic camera he used forced him to step back a bit — unlike his up-close 35-millimeter street work — it nonetheless gave him a different intimacy.
