One of his favorite things to shoot is the sky, focusing on the weather and climate patterns of Florida, as they can change in a heartbeat from sunny and bright to dark and stormy.

A master of composition, Madeleine Luis is an up-and-coming Miami Instagrammer who will blow you away with her photographs. Many pictures are like the one below; they show a sophisticated understanding of depth, lighting and space. What makes Madeleine’s work even more impressive is that she only uses her iPhone, while being able to snap some incredible and professional-grade shots of both scenic landscapes and natural action scenes.

@acetrini87

Aleem Ali (aka acetrini87) is doing something very creative and the Instagram world is noticing. He’s quickly emerging onto the scene as one of Miami’s best photographers. What’s he doing exactly that makes him unique? Well, he’s capturing the life of Miami in black and white. Not easy to do these days, especially when Miami is known for being a city full of bright colors. Aleem, however, is putting on a masterclass. His black and white photographs capture the rhythms and motions of Miami’s urban culture while leaving much of the interpretation up to the viewers themselves.
