Shooting portraits in Wynwood Art District for my friend Vanie Louis was an incredible experience. Surrounded by art trying to create my own with an awesome model. What could a photographer ask more? Even the harsh sunlight was pleasing. There is something magical about Wynwood. You have to be there and open your mind to feel it. I can shoot there every day and still will come up with completely different photos. Next time I’ll be in Miami, Wynwood is definitely going to be in my top spots to shoot.

We have to appreciate the time, effort and dedication of every single artist who contributed to the creation of such an amazing place. Lifesize murals which give the walls a soul. There are also the businesses in the area, they blend in perfectly.

Embracing the harsh sunlight because it’s that beautiful. I like the projected shadows on the wall which give the portrait more drama. It would be a very interesting project for me to document a mural from start to finish.

 

 

 

 

 

Most of the times the shot would be waiting for us to be taken. That’s why it’s important as a photographer, or any creatives to have an open mind. Let the environment surprises you. Just be ready.

 

 

This mural was the first one that caught my attention. I like the contrast of the white shapes over the vibrant pink. I took a few shots there before moving on, and I think this photo was one of my favorites from the session.

 

 

This color palette screams Pinterest!

At some point, it felt like everything was intentionally placed there for us by the Muse who govern Wynwood. All we had to do was to be receptive and open-minded.
