ALBERTO KORDA (Havana, 1928- 2001). "Che Guevara", c.1960. Photograph, original negative. Signed and dedicated in the upper left part. Measurements: 30 x 21 cm. Korda, whose real name was Alberto Díaz Gutiérrez, had his first contact with photography when he took his father's 35 mm Kodak and began taking pictures of his girlfriend. Korda began his career as a photographer, initially shooting banquets, baptisms and weddings. The quality of Korda's work as a beginner was very poor and his photos deteriorated quickly. In 1953, Korda opened his first studio with a photographer named Luis Pierce. Initially, Korda and Pierce did a variety of work ranging from fashion to advertising. However, by opening his first studio, Korda had the opportunity to learn from his mistakes and stop the process by using the right chemicals. Most of the work was photographed by his studio partner in order to keep his business going. It was the money generated from these jobs that allowed Korda to develop his unique style of looking at an image from another angle, different from traditional studio photographers. It was this style that defined and popularized the photographs made at Korda Studios. In the early years, Korda was more interested in fashion and became Cuba's leading fashion photographer. Korda disliked artificial lighting, saying it was "a parody of reality" and only used natural light in his studio. He was the master of black and white photography, with his work he sought the perfect composition and framing. Korda had a unique creative ambition that often surpassed in style compared to the unimaginative cultural perspective of traditional Cuban photography. This unique creativity turned Korda Studio into more than just a thriving business; it became an art studio.
