Although Alberto Diaz Gutiérrez has achieved an excellent reputation as fashion photographer in his Cuba, it is only when he enthusiastically joins Castro's revolution that he establishes himself internationally. Since then, under the name of Alberto Korda, he has become an interpreter of that exciting period, closely following not only protagonists such as Fidel Castro, Camilo Ceinfuegos and Che, but also the population, documenting their active participation.
