Guided photo walks focused on historical locations.

Our Guiding Principles

Our photo walks prioritize hands-on learning, creative composition, and capturing Miami’s hidden stories.

Locations

Our photo walks move through Miami Beach’s iconic and lesser-seen streets, focusing on exterior scenes—from Art Deco facades to coastal edges—so you’re always shooting the city as it unfolds around you.

Collaborative Energy

Connection is a core part of the process. You’ll learn just as much from the group as from the content itself.

Learn more about our walk stops and the hidden hideouts, local hotspots and urban ledgers we visit during our tour.

We read the city in layers, connecting its past to the present while learning practical, street-ready techniques.

Joe's Stone Crab, 11 Washington Ave

Capone dined here as “Al Brown,” arriving at 5 p.m. sharp, leaving flowers for Jennie Weiss on Mother’s Day. The restaurant’s restraint still feels like his own—understated power in a public place. Best: 50mm, f/5.6, ISO 200, 1/125s – clean separation of signage from street life, subtle fill flash on white walls.

Big Pink, 157 Collins Ave

Bubblegum pink and chrome catch the mid-century afterglow of Capone’s era—places where coffee cooled while conversations stayed low. The color pops against muted history. Best: 35mm, f/4, ISO 400–800 indoors, 1/60s – natural perspective, ambient energy with slight motion in light trails.

Playa Miami Beach, 465 Ocean Dr

Ocean Drive’s sand was Capone’s occasional escape—open, sun-bleached, indifferent to secrets carried on the tide. Foreground grains meet distant deco towers in layered light. Best: 16-35mm @24mm, f/8, ISO 100 + polarizer, 1/500s – saturated blues, sharp from sand to skyline, frozen surf.
