NYT Video Shows Photographer Discussing Havana Night Photography Amid Energy Crisis
In a new video, New York Times photographer Lisette Poole González speaks with Mexico City bureau chief Jack Nicas about capturing Havana after dark during the island's severe energy crisis.
The New York Times has released a video feature titled "How Cubans Are Living in the Dark," in which photographer Lisette Poole González discusses her experience photographing Havana at night with Mexico City bureau chief Jack Nicas.
González, a regular contributor to the Times, shares insights into documenting the Cuban capital during a severe energy crisis that has left large parts of the city without electricity. The conversation explores both the technical challenges of shooting in low light and the human stories behind the images.
Nicas, who leads the Times' coverage of Mexico and Central America, asks González about how the blackouts have transformed Havana's streets and the daily lives of its residents. The video offers a unique perspective on the resilience of Cubans facing frequent power cuts and is part of the Times' broader reporting on Cuba's economic and social challenges.
