It's been 10 years since I moved to Miami and I now consider myself a local. I have seen the city evolve and become a vibrant and artsy city. Every year - in December - the city welcomes ART BASEL, a major Art show gathering artists from the world.
Miami is not only South Beach. There are many other places such as Wynwood, Miami Design District, Midtown, little Havana, Brickell and so much more.
Like most cities close to the seaside there is a lot of turnover. You'll see restaurants, stores, galleries open and close within one year. Miami is in constant evolution!
I like Miami because the city brings together many different cultures, an incredible art scene and year round warm weather. Maybe a bit too hot and humid from July to September, but who could complain about Miami weather, seriously?
My favorite locations to shoot
- Ocean drive
- Matheson Hammok park
- Venetian Causeway
- Wynwood
- Design District
- Rusty Pelicanat sunset.
- Mac Arthur causeway.
The sun rises on the beach side so all the places located on Collins Avenue / Ocean Drive are good spots for sunrise pictures,
For sunset, head to west avenue.
