He lectures and has taught photographers the specific and unique skills required to photograph people and cultures.
Juris’ photography has been exhibited worldwide, and appears in hundreds of private and corporate collections.
Through many years of workshops and travel to Cuba, Juris has built an extensive network of local contacts, photographers, and artists. This enables workshop participants to get access and photograph behind the scenes places that are otherwise difficult to arrange. Workshops are led on the basis of not only learning photography skills, but of having a great deal of fun. Music is an important part of Cuban life, as is good food, friendship and a unique passion for living it to the fullest.
“Despite media depictions to the contrary, the world is a relatively safe and wonderful place. On any given day, even in the remotest and seemingly primitive reaches, people are concerned with making a living, taking care that their children grow up well, and worshiping their gods. To capture the unique moments among all that is a passion that strengthens over time, and has resulted in a body of work spanning three decades, in over 60 countries.”
