MIAMI CONCOURS: Cars & Coffee, Art Week Edition
Today was one of those magical days where work and passion collide. I arrived early for a photoshoot in Miami’s Design District with my client, the talented Jimmy Akingbola (@jimmyakingbola). While waiting, I stumbled upon MIAMI CONCOURS: Cars & Coffee, Art Week Edition (@miamiconcours) —an unexpected highlight of Art Basel Weekend.
The streets were alive with luxury cars—Bugattis, Porsches, Lamborghinis, and more—each a work of art in motion. The energy of the event, combined with the artistry of the cars, brought back memories of my early days as a photographer, capturing the beauty of automotive design with nothing but my camera and a dream. Now, with 15 years of experience, it reminded me of the joy of creating purely for fun.
The photoshoot with Jimmy was equally rewarding. Working with someone as charismatic and talented as him always brings out the best in my craft. Behind the scenes, I had the privilege of collaborating with the amazing Amadou Cisse (@amadoucissemedia), whose expertise and creative eye elevated the experience. It’s always inspiring to share the process with such passionate individuals.
I also connected with Kyle Maszak (@carbon_3v), a young car photographer and videographer just starting out in the industry. His passion was a reflection of my own early days, and our conversation reminded me to keep that initial spark alive.
Art Basel is more than an event; it’s a celebration of creativity in all its forms. This day was a gift, a chance to pause and appreciate the journey—past, present, and future.
Here’s to the moments that rekindle the joy of creating and to never forgetting the reason we started.
