Old Havana, as a place, has the essence of it's citizens: sophisticated, generous and miserable, hypocritical and sincere, and above all else: slow. Immensely and incredibly, slow.

Meet Steve
Steve Joester’s journey as an award winning photographer and artist is a reflection of our time. As an art student in England, Joester was influenced by “pop” art and the impact of photography on a generation that grew up with David Bailey and “Blow Up”. In the 70’s & 80’s, his work with the Rolling Stones, Bob Marley, Sting, AC/DC, Pink Floyd, Neil Young, Queen and The Clash, to name a few, established him as a leading photographer of rock artists and their live performances.
