Ocean Drive is one of the most iconic places in Miami. I wanted to capture it like I have never seen it before. There are so many photos of this iconic street but I have never seen any close-ups from the air.
This is where my drone came into play, I wanted to get some different perspectives but at the same time capture the famous street in a way it could be recognized for what it is, Ocean Dr.
Here is a centerfold that was published in the November issue of Viajes National Geographic, I have been working with them for the last few months to get this done.
I shot this from a Zeppelin flying over Miami Beach, Florida, what a cool experience. I feel very fortunate to have flown in one, do you know there are only three in existence? All the others are blimps. Yes, there is a difference.
There is a really good article about Florida, if you get a chance to pick up the magazine you should it’s all about traveling to incredible locations.
Its not every morning I wake up and find fisher man out on the beach. Its usually surfers, and beautiful girls doing yoga, but today there was a couple fisher man. The ocean was so calm and quiet, and the fish were biting. Once 6:45 hit, the colors just started getting crazy. Not a bad way to start the week. We will see what tomorrows sunrise has in store for us…

Miami Beach Sunrise Meet Up
Here are a few photos from the recent Miami Sunrise Meet Up I hosted before my crazy trip to the West coast. The conditions were not perfect when I first got there, the sky was clear and the scenery look kind of flat, suddenly the clouds started rolling in and the sun stared to rise making this a beautiful Miami Sunrise. I’ll be hosting another sunrise meet up on the beach so stay tuned…
Miami Beach Sunrise
4 am I open my eyes, I look at the clock and realize I am not going back to bed. I turn on the tv and its forensic files, I look at the clock and its 5:30 am. At this point I’m thinking about the ocean and an amazing sunrise but I’m glued to my bed, next thing you know I get this image in my head. I look at the clock ant its 6:15am. I jump out of bed throw on some shorts grab my camera and go to the beach. The sky was perfect.
The first image is what I had in my head while laying in my bed, but when I got there and I started walking around I realized there was lots more potential and more awesome angles to be had.
The clouds were moving and the colors were saturated and alive. Next thing you know people started coming from all directions.
Everyone just wanted a peek of the sunrise…
Once I took all my photos and took all this in I picked up my bike form the sand and started walking away, then I turned my head and had to pull out my camera for one last shot…
If this isn’t the start of a perfect day I don’t know what is. Which one is your favorite photo? I made a video on editing this photos, it will be up shortly….
