Old Havana district at night | Limited Edition of 10
Old Havana Street at Night – Fine Art Urban Photography with Texture and Mood
There’s a version of Havana most people know—the colourful, sunlit streets, the vintage cars, the music drifting through open windows. But that’s not the Havana in this image. This version surfaces after dark, when the city lowers its voice and the architecture takes the lead.
I found this street after most of the movement had faded. The buildings weren’t lit for show—they were barely lit at all. The streetlamps cast a slow amber haze, just enough to define shapes and textures without polishing them. What struck me most wasn’t what I saw clearly—it was what I couldn’t. The shadows were part of the structure, not background.
This photograph is quiet, not in the sense that nothing is happening, but in the way a space holds itself when no one’s watching. The walls are marked, worn, and discoloured—but intact. The signage is faded. The balconies lean a little. It’s not picturesque in the curated sense, but it’s full of presence—Havana, unposed.
I did not attempt to glamorize this frame. I left the colours as they were—subdued, a little tired, but deeply expressive. There’s no flash, no long exposure tricks—just patience. The city is still standing long enough for one good image.
If you’re looking for wall art with character but no pretense—something moody, textural, and honest—this piece gives back slowly. It doesn’t decorate; it grounds.
I wrote more about the atmosphere and restraint in this frame—read the full breakdown on Kozzi to see why I left the scene untouched.

Limited Edition of 10
This photograph is released as a signed and numbered limited edition of only 10 prints in total across all available sizes combined—not 10 prints in each size.
Every size is drawn from the same edition. Whether the photograph is purchased as a small print or at the largest available size, it uses one of the 10 edition numbers.
I personally sign and number each print on the reverse, and every print is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity recording its title, dimensions, medium, edition number, and date of issue.
Once all 10 prints have been sold, the edition will be permanently closed. No additional numbered editions of the photograph will be produced in another size or format.
Premium Archival Fine Art Prints
I personally produce every photograph using archival pigment inks on premium archival paper with a subtle luster finish.
The paper provides rich tonal depth, excellent fine-detail reproduction, and a refined surface that reduces distracting glare under normal indoor lighting. It is especially well suited to both color and black-and-white photography.
Each photograph is sold as an unframed fine art print, allowing it to be framed according to the collector’s space and personal style.
Before a print leaves my studio, I carefully inspect it for color, tonal accuracy, surface quality, and overall presentation. Nothing is outsourced, and every finished print passes through my hands.
Worldwide Delivery Included
Every print is personally produced, inspected, signed, numbered, and carefully packaged by me at my studio in Haliburton, Ontario, Canada.
Worldwide delivery is included in the listed price, so there is no additional shipping charge added during checkout. I select an appropriate tracked delivery service based on the destination, print size, and current shipping requirements.
Delivery times vary by destination and may be affected by customs processing or circumstances beyond my control.
Because I also travel extensively to create new photographic work, studio dispatch may occasionally be delayed while I am away. When that happens, the print will be produced and shipped as soon as I return to the studio.
