Luis Korda Díaz acted primarily as photographer and travel companion of Fidel Castro, with whom he had a close relationship, and also Ernesto Guevara, whom he saw as rather arrogant – a personal view he shared with many other photographers. Luis Korda’s most famous image is also the most important photo of the Cuban revolution, showing the revolutionaries entering Havana on 8 January 1959 with Fidel Castro and Camilo Cienfuegos at the head of the procession. The fear that Studio Korda, a privately held company, could fall victim to nationalisation, drove Alberto Diaz and Luis Peirce to bequeath it to the Oficina
Alberto Korda by the Churches Advertising Network to promote church attendance in the UK. The truth is that Korda gave the picture for free to Giangiacomo Feltrinelli, an Italian publisher who had published "Doctor Zhivago" and went on to publish Castro's diaries. After the revolution, Korda became Fidel Castro's personal photographer for 10 years, accompanying Castro on trips and in meetings with foreign personalities. During this time he also took pictures of demonstrations, sugar cane harvests and factory scenes. Other less-known Fidel Castro images by Korda include shots of Castro staring warily at a tiger in a New York zoo, playing golf
