You're welcome to join our group and be ready to practice specifics of Street, Architecture, and Documentary photography during this photowalk / workshop event... You'll be able to identify photo opportunities, adapt to the best (available) light + field conditions (positive and negative) and anticipate the “decisive moment” around the transformation currently happening in Downtown Miami. Note: ALL TYPES OF IMAGING EQUIPMENT ARE GOOD FOR OUR PHOTOWALKS: IPHONES / SMART PHONES OR CAMERAS can make great artistic creations.

We’ll meet at the History Miami Museum / Library courtyard and from the Government Center catch a FREE ride in the Metromover to the Museum Park Station in Biscayne Blvd. From there we’ll circle the construction area from various points of view, looking for the best possible images and compositions. Afterwards, we’ll walk along Biscayne Blvd to capture some iconic architectural views, such as The Freedom Tower (Old Miami News), the One Thousand Museum (building designed by Zaha Hadid Architects), the Adrianne Arsht Center (portions of old Sears store corner stairway), then return to our starting point via the Metromover.

The workshop leader / instructor (Rafael) taught photography classes at all levels and has personally led 100+ field photography outings for over 15 years in Broward and Miami-Dade counties and will be available all along this shoot for specific tips, technical consultation, historic facts, and photography information to capture better images and make this a memorable learning experience - This workshop is a “One-of-a-Kind” technically supported photoshoot with attention to practical learning for which there is a $10 fee.
