Reliving the Journey: A Day at Miami Design District with Zavier De’Angelo Production
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.

Exploring Cappadocia: ATV Adventures, Stunning Landscapes, and Cultural Gems!
Greetings from the enchanting land of Cappadocia! Join me on an unforgettable journey as I share my recent adventures in this mesmerizing Turkish city.
My excursion began with a seamless journey from the vibrant streets of Miami to the bustling atmosphere of Istanbul Airport. From there, a swift transfer took me to Kayseri Erkilet Airport, the gateway to the mystical landscapes of Cappadocia.
Upon arrival, I was greeted by the warmth of Turkish hospitality and whisked away on a scenic bus transfer to the heart of Cappadocia, where the charming Terra Cave Hotel awaited my stay. Nestled amidst the rocky terrain, this boutique accommodation promised a unique and authentic experience.
Eager to immerse myself in the natural wonders of Cappadocia, I embarked on the CAPPDOCIA ATV Turları - Hitchhiker Tour. This exhilarating journey led me through the iconic Sword Valley, the romantic landscapes of Love Valley, and the breathtaking Rosé Valleys, each offering a glimpse into the region's rich history and geological marvels.
Although I had hoped to take to the skies in a hot air balloon and witness Cappadocia's surreal beauty from above, Mother Nature had other plans, as the winds refused to cooperate. Nevertheless, the spirit of adventure prevailed, and I embraced every moment of my Cappadocian escapade with open arms.
Before bidding farewell to this captivating city, I couldn't resist a visit to Galerie Ikman - Cappadocia Rugs store, where the intricate artistry of Turkish rugs mesmerized me and served as a timeless memento of my Cappadocian odyssey.
As I reflect on my time spent in Cappadocia, I'm filled with gratitude for the unforgettable experiences and cherished memories that will forever hold a special place in my heart. Until we meet again, Cappadocia, thank you for the magic!

What is a Model Digital ?
Model digitals, also known as model polaroids or digitals, are a series of simple, unretouched photographs taken of a model in natural light and minimal makeup. These images serve as a quick and accurate representation of the model's appearance, allowing modeling agencies and clients to assess the model's suitability for various assignments and projects.
Here's a breakdown of what model digitals typically include and the steps a model needs to prepare for a photoshoot like this
Headshot : A close-up photo of the model's face, showcasing their facial features and expressions.
Profile : A side-view photo of the model's face, capturing their profile.
Full-length Body Shot : A photo of the model standing upright and facing the camera, showing their body proportions and posture.
Side Profile Body Shot : A side-view photo of the model's full body, highlighting their silhouette from the side.
Back Shot: A photo of the model from the back, showing their posture and any distinguishing features.
Steps for Model Preparation
Grooming: Models should arrive at the photoshoot with clean, well-groomed hair and nails. Minimal makeup is preferred to showcase the model's natural beauty.
Wardrobe: Models should bring a swimsuit and a form-fitting, neutral-colored clothing that highlights their physique. Solid colors work best to avoid distractions in the photos.
Accessories : Keep accessories minimal or avoid them altogether to maintain a clean, uncluttered look.
Posing: Models should be prepared to follow the photographer's direction for posing. The goal is to capture natural and relaxed poses that highlight the model's features.
Confidence : Confidence is key during the photoshoot. Models should feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera to produce authentic and appealing images.
