Acromatico photographed Keith Lorren, the Miami chef known as the "King of Spice," in a portrait session on South Beach in Miami Beach, Florida. In-house photographer Tica shot the future Food Network chef on location, where the session also crossed paths with the Ibiza 2014 event and its cars.
It's not every day you get to photograph a chef — a future Food Network chef, at that. To represent Miami's King of Spice, Acromatico shot on South Beach, and Keith brought in the heat with his spices. Our in-house photographer Tica had a blast on the session, which even ran into the Ibiza 2014 and its amazing cars.
The result is a set of portraits of Keith Lorren on location in Miami Beach. As the team put it, the day couldn't have been more perfect.
“There was no better way to represent Miami's King of Spice than to shoot at South Beach.”
Good to know
South Beach (often called SoBe) is the southern end of the city of Miami Beach, Florida — a barrier island separated from mainland Miami by Biscayne Bay. The neighborhood is known for its Art Deco Historic District along Ocean Drive, Collins Avenue, and Washington Avenue, where pastel facades, geometric lines, and the wide Atlantic beachfront give portrait and brand photographers a deep range of backdrops within a few walkable blocks.
For a personality-driven shoot like a chef's portraits, South Beach offers strong year-round natural light, ocean and palm backdrops, and the colorful Deco architecture that reads instantly as Miami. Because the area is a public, heavily trafficked tourist district, sessions there can also intersect with the events and car culture that pass through — as this one did with Ibiza 2014.
Acromatico is a family-run photography and brand studio founded in 2004, working across South Florida and New York City with a dark, fine-art "Brand Studio" aesthetic.
