Photos taken in Cuba

Rehahn was born in 1979 in Normandy, France. Ever since Rehahn has always lived with a passion for photography and traveling. Most people who travel, travel just to explore the beautiful scenery, that Rehahn traveled to meet different people and to capture the most real and natural moments of those  individuals that he has encountered and met. Rehahn has learned of new cultures and has also learned how to take photographs in these places in his own special way. The big difference between Rehahn's photos and other portrait photographers is the random natural moments that he captures when spending his time with these people to interact with his models. His photos leave his viewers to imagine the stories behind each moment he takes with these people because he wants his viewers to discover and see for themselves the beauty and passion of his photographs. 

Rehahn captured more than over 50,000 photographs, but only 145 of these photos have made it to his first photo-book that was named "Vietnam- Mosaic Of Contrasts." This book is his story that he wishes to share with the world about his views and stories of Vietnam. He has continued to seek for more adventures and new ideas to bring and deliver to his photos. His passion for photography continues to bring him more ideas and new techniques in his picture taking by getting together with other photographers and with the new technology that is developed. His hard work has been recognized by some of the most well known photography magazines such as, Los Angeles Times, Daily Mail, Times, National Geography, and Foto Digital. 

I love the techniques that Rahahn chooses for his portrait style photos. I would like to know how he gets so much detail in these models faces, as well as the cigar smoke in two of the three photographs chosen. I do like his style of portraits, especially the last photo chosen out of the three, how the man has his eyes half closed, almost making it seem like he had no idea his photograph was being taken by this man making it look real and natural, not posed or fake. I would like to be able to get as much detail as Rahahn does, such as in these three portraits faces, and the smoke coming from the cigars, as well as the detail in the peoples eyes that were chosen and just his techniques in general. It makes me wonder what his numbers were and what camera he uses to take these beautiful portraits.
