In March, I donated a copy of the Vanishing Cuba Silver Edition to the Los Angeles Center of Photography (LACP). After receiving many compliments about the book, LACP asked me if I would like to be an instructor (which I graciously accepted). An interview/presentation titled Inside Photography: Special Guest Preview with Michael Chinnici is set up for July 7, 2022. Next: I will lead a small group of LACP members in early December on a 9-day photography workshop in Cuba. And lastly, my virtual webinar on July 23, 2022, is called “Evoking Emotion and Storytelling through Documentary Photography with Michael Chinnici.”

FUJILOVE MAGAZINE FEATURES MICHAEL’S CUBA PHOTOGRAPHY

It was great to be featured with a 12-page spread in the July issue of FUJILOVE Magazine. I want to thank the founder, Tomash, for his interest in my work and the Managing Editor, Stephanie, for the interview. 

The Vanishing Cuba journey has been an exciting eight years, and there’s still so much more to look forward to. With the booking coming out in September / October, the excitement has only been growing. Just this week, I completed my sixth interview featuring the book and my Cuba photography. I’m so fortunate that people enjoy my vision and love for the Cuban people.
