THE PHOTOGRAPHER BEHIND MONOCHROME MIAMI

50 years behind the camera.
60+ years seeing Miami.

Now I want to show you the Miami I know. Through Monochrome Miami, I take photographers into the streets on an only-in-Miami photographic journey, exploring the people, architecture, light, shadows, and unexpected moments that make this city so unique. My photo walks and workshops are designed to help you see beyond the obvious and photograph Miami in a completely different way: in black and white.

Miami is a city of color.

​Neon against the night.  Turquoise water.  Pastel buildings. Tropical greens.  Sun-Bleached streets.  Bright cars.  Bright clothes.  Bright lives.

​But remove the color, and another Miami emerges.

​Monochrome Miami is an experience like no other. A study of light, shadow, architecture, movement, and the people who give Miami its restless energy.  

​Make part of your next South Florida visit, an adventure that strips away the distraction of color to reveal the details beneath it: the geometry of a street corner, the texture of an aging wall, a fleeting expression, a figure disappearing into a shadow, or a moment that exist for only a second, never to be duplicated.

You will see Miami differently.

​Not as a postcard.

​As a place.

​As a mood.

​As a living, breathing city that is constantly reinventing itself.

Take a timeless step into a World of Black & White.​​

THIS ISN’T A TOUR

Miami doesn't need another sightseeing tour

Monochrome Miami is an invitation to experience the city differently. Leave the postcard behind and step into the streets with a camera in your hands, where the real Miami reveals itself in unexpected moments the flash of light between buildings, a stranger's expression, a perfect shadow, the rhythm of people moving through the city, and the fleeting moments that exist for only a second.

Led by a photographer who knows how to look for them, you'll explore Miami on foot, learn to see light, contrast, composition and emotion, and discover photographs hiding in plain sight. No two walks are ever the same. No two photographs are either.

This isn't about checking landmarks off a list.

It's about being there when Miami happens.

SEE THE CITY. FIND THE MOMENT. MAKE THE PHOTOGRAPH

Whether you're visiting Miami for the first time, you've lived here for years, or you're an experienced photographer looking for a new perspective, Monochrome Miami puts you inside the photograph—not just in front of it.

COME WALK THE STREETS. CHASE THE LIGHT. DISCOVER YOUR MIAMI.

The Photographer Behind Monochrome Miami

Seeing Miami differently, one frame at a time.

Recently, I had the opportunity to sit down with the hosts of the Brooklyn Cafe Show to talk about photography, Miami, and the story behind Monochrome Miami.

For me, the conversation was about much more than cameras and photographs. It was an opportunity to talk about why I photograph, why I returned to black and white, and what I hope people discover when they look at Miami through my lens.
