Art Deco

Miami Beach is the home of the largest assemblage of Art Deco buildings in the world that spans for ten blocks.

During the day when the pastel colors of the hotel’s exteriors were immersed in sunlight. At dusk, the hotel signs began to turn on. The blend of neon and fading sunlight created magic. But at night, Ocean Drive becomes the place where fierce and vividly beautiful neon signs show their sharp expression in the darkness of the night. It's stunning.

I used Lightroom and Photoshop.
I eliminated urban clutter (cars, AC units, wires, poles) to show the beauty of the neon lit exteriors.
