From the very fi rst moment, Thomas is drawn into the vibrant rhythm of the city. Indeed, he becomes part of the
city instead of merely an outside observer. Havana is authentic, honest, and open. It seems like a living open-air
museum, despite the fact that it is the fourth-largest city in the Caribbean. Thanks to his Leica X1, Thomas effort-
lessly captures the countless images that fl ash by on the journey to Malecón. Compact and easy to use, the Leica
X1 is just as spontaneous as the living city itself and becomes part of its surrounding environment.

The crew has already arrived at Malecón. In the middle of the crowds of young people, fi shermen, and swimmers,
the shooting set has been constructed, directly on the sea wall. A boxing ring — Cuba is renowned for its countless
boxing champions and its passion for the sport — offers the perfect setting for this unconventionally emotional
fashion shoot. But there’s still much to be done before taking pictures against this breathtaking backdrop can
begin. Lighting needs to be set up, exposures checked, and the model needs to be instructed both by the photo-
graphers and a real Cuban boxing coach! Whenever he gets a moment, Thomas uses the Leica X1 to record the
essence of the event from a completely different perspective. He shows the life that’s going on behind the scenes –
spontaneously telling the inside story. The Leica X1 makes it effortless. Handy and discreet, it doesn’t attract
attention. The opposite is true of the pictures it records: each one glows with the unmistakably brilliant Leica quality.

At the Malecón, the preparations on the shooting set are in full swing: setting up, adjusting the lights, visor test.
