Beneath the faded rafters of an old Havana theater, dreams take flight on silken ropes, aerial rings, and human pyramids. At Cirabana Circus, children move with the quiet courage of those who know the world won’t offer magic unless they make it themselves.

Kelly Conlin discovered photography as a teenager, borrowing his father’s Kodak Retinette and building a basement darkroom to launch a small photography business. He began his professional life as a journalist before transitioning to the business side of magazine publishing, eventually serving as CEO of a global media company. After stepping back from full-time work, he has returned to his first passion—-photography-—now focusing on documentary and street work that explores human connection, culture, and everyday drama.
