A Paper on the Fine Arts Photography Scene in Miami, Florida

Miami, Florida is most likely associated with three words beaches and great sunsets. Technically, those wore four words but the point is that Miami is famous for its breathtaking beaches that people from all over the United States of America flock towards it. Since an abundance of beautiful frontier beaches are proliferated in Miami, it is only understandable that they also have the best sunsets. This picture of Miami, Florida, that of being relaxing, breathtakingly beautiful and even picturesque makes it the perfect backdrop for the art scene, particularly in one type of art photography although it does not mean that other forms of art are not famous in Miami. This just goes without saying that photography is the fastest way to capture a perfect sunset before it fully sinks on the horizon.

Photography allows faster access and greater manoeuvrability while producing the same calibre of those art forms done so tediously and exhaustingly with hands or some other body part. Moreover, with today s advanced technological advancement, cameras are now very accessible and affordable to the great majority of people who wants a memento of some sort of their stay of the Land of the Best Beaches. However, no matter how many people have access to cameras, there are still the exceptional few who are trained professionals and who know their equipment and art well the photographers and studio owners.

Miami, Florida, according to the WorldAtlas.com (n.p.) is  known for its sultry weather, tempered by great ocean breezes, and a semi-tropical sun  which explains why many people go there to relax and have fun. The population in Miami is a mere 363,413 last 2006 that was over 4 years ago and the possibility that it has risen considerably is very likely (Miami Downtown Development Authority, p.4). The employment statistics also presents some very interesting facts
10.6 are in Management, Business and Financial Operations, 13.4 are in Professional and Related Occupations, 22.0 are in Service, and 26.3 are in Sales and Office. (Miami Downtown Development Authority 5)

This statistics can point to the fact that the rather small population of Miami, Florida caters to having developing their own businesses and establishments that can cater to other people or to guests. Miami being a hotspot for tourists and recreationists explains why there are many shops, stores and service establishments that aim to cater to visitors. The fact that Miami provides a beautiful backdrop for pictures and the fact that the place tremendously caters to visitors can explain why many people go to Miami to be inspired and to inspire. Since the beautiful Miami is able to provide the inspiration with the landscape it offers, many people establishes art galleries, studios and photography shops in the city.  The employment statistics of the place for example, can explain why there are many people who have jobs that caters to visitors visitors who want to catch a glimpse of the vivid colors of their city. The small population of the city are actually littered with many art gallery owners, studio owners, photography and picture store owners that does not only provide photographic exhibitions to the locale population but to the entire Florida state itself as people flock over the city.

Photography is very famous in Miami, Florida as it caters not only to providing accessible and efficient photography services to visitors,  but also because the beautiful Miami landscape provides the perfect background for breathtaking, artistic and creative shots. This is perhaps the reason why fine art photography is very famous in Miami, Florida with over 260 photographers, companies, studios and shops that provide such service to the locale and to the visitors (MDNH, Inc., n.p.). Aside from this, there are over a hundred artisits and art centres that exhibits fine art photographies for the public this is considering that Miami has only about  363,413 locales (as of 2006) in numbers. In a site (Art-Collecting.com)  that seeks to collate the artists and art centres in Miami, there are over a hundred samples of fine art photography ranging from pictures of chairs, pregnant bellies, sleeping children and puff of smoke. This just proves how the creativity of people and their appreciation for aestheic beauty of human nature and mother nature is developing. Accoding to Art Center South Florida, the Miami Beach in Miami, Florida is considered as the cultural hub of the entire South Florida (n.p.). This just means that people from Miami are taking apprecation for art to great new heights.

On a different note, fine art photography, is still an offshoot of fine arts and it requires certain artistic quality and univesal beauty before it can really be called  fine art . The fine art photography scene in Miami does not only cater to locale artists but also to other artists from other places, even those from Asia (like Ja Young Yoon in the ABBA Fine Art Centre) that chooses to have their works exhibited in Miami. However, not just anyone can be a fine art photographer nor can anyone just avail such services because compared to the more commecialized type of photography like portrait or events, fine art photographers are more expensive. However, there is a tremendous difference to how more artistic, professional and creative fine art photographs are even if it is very expensive, it must be very worth it as people keep on taking up the profession more (with classes being offered at the Art Center South Florida) and groups establishing more studios. Miami, Florida is not just the Land of the Best Beaches in the future, it might even be known as the Land of the Finest Fine Art Photographers ever seen.
