Raúl Corrales' work as a photographer began in the 1940s first as a lab assistant and then as a reporter at Cuba Sono Films, an agency founded in Havana in 1938 by the People's Socialist Party that made films and reports on the deplorable socio-economic conditions on the island. When Sono Films was shut down as a result of McCarthyist policy, Corrales began collaborating (1953) with Carteles and Bohemia magazines under the pseudonym Raul Varela. To that period also dates his brief experience as an advertising photographer. He met and frequented Ernest Hemingway. After the first phase of the revolution he became, together with Alberto Diaz “Korda,” Castro's official photographer, documenting the effects of the change and making images that later became very famous for the history of Cuba and the entire world
