THE LAST FEW

Every voyage is both an adventure and an escape, there used to be many now there are just a few. By law the bulk of fish caught in Cuban waters must be handed to the state for distribution amongst the people. However, some of the poorest in Havana are brave enough to provide for their families by venturing out to sea using nothing more than the inner tubes from trucks and tractors as makeshift fishing Balseros rafts; The same rafts that were used to escape the Island in the 1980's.

UK born Sarah Louise Ramsay began her career in 1990s London, assisting on location and in studios before award winning personal projects led to global advertising commissions.
