BACKGROUND: Coconut Grove is the oldest permanent settlement in Miami-Dade. New residents were lured here with the Homestead Act in the late 1800s, particularly from the Bahamas, and the Keys. In 1919 it became its own city, but in 1925 it was annexed by the City of Miami. The area is often referred to as "The Grove" and many locals take pride that Coconut Grove is one of the greenest areas of Miami. The Grove has become an upscale, leafy neighborhood with relaxed sidewalk cafes and chic shops in and around the CocoWalk mall.

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