Valentin Astier says about himself:
“Photography is a way to capture a special emotion, a unique feeling that I experienced facing a landscape or a city. I always choose to look at the people’s environment, where they live, and most of all what defines them. I build up my work with my travels but also the landscapes, cities and places, around me, that I explore.”

About ‘Cuba’:
When I discovered Cuba, I thought it was made to be framed with all the colourful and uncluttered ambivalence that I saw. To me, Cuba was slagging between the delicate beauty and the latent state of its political context. In front of an imminent change, Cuba was offering me all this incredible ambiguity. It was part of those places in transformation, and I felt that I was there at the right moment to capture it with all the times that make it be like that: its past, its future and its present.
