You’ll notice that most of these amazing venues are available through Peerspace, the largest online marketplace for hourly venue rentals. We offer you access to beautiful, unique spaces in cities across the globe that help inspire you while providing space for you to get your work done. But for now, let’s get on to our list!

1. Stretch out in this open warehouse space

This bright space is large enough to accommodate shoots of virtually any size. It’s particularly well-suited for shoots involving fitness or wellness since those classes take place there regularly. Of particular note are the beautiful wooden floor and the charming blue of the ceiling, both of which can be incorporated into your photos.

One of the many perks that come with using Peerspace is that you can read genuine reviews from past renters before you book a space. And this stylish warehouse has plenty to peruse! Here is just one example: “Rikki was amazing from start to finish. The space was perfect and she was amazingly helpful and accommodating. For ANYONE looking for a venue in Miami, we would highly recommend using this beautiful space.”

2. Make edgy portraits at the Wynwood Walls

Wynwood is the unofficial arts district of Miami, and one of its most renowned features is the “Wynwood Walls,” an open-air street art museum. Of course, there’s street art all over Wynwood, but this spot in particular displays some of the best work in the country. That makes it an awesome backdrop for a photoshoot.

3. Go all out at this multi-set eclectic content space in Little River

This Little River photo studio is every content creator’s dream come true! It consists of four distinct rooms, each with at least one scene for you to enjoy. Each set is immersive, filled with props and decor that can make any photoshoot here a memorable experience.

A model who booked a shoot here shared the following Peerspace review: “The place was absolutely gorgeous! Lola was very warm welcoming when i arrived . The set was very clean and looked even better in person. I did a photo shoot and am very pleased with the results.”

4. Embrace your inner zen at this multi-purpose sacred space

Looking for photoshoot ideas in Miami with a fitness or lifestyle leaning? Then you need to see this magical multi-purpose venue in the Wynwood Arts District. It’s a spiritual wellness center that consists of a yoga studio, an artistic boho lounge, and a cheerful garden brimming with plants and a shaded wooden deck. There is a lot to enjoy in this space, least of which the warm and welcoming vibes!

In the words of a Peerpscae reviewer: “The studio inside was perfect for what we needed and the patio was definitely an added bonus. Lauren and her team were extremely hospitable and a pleasure to meet. We’re happy to have found them.”

5. Pose with a Mammoth at Faena

Faena is a decadent luxury hotel with a design-forward aesthetic all its own. Photographers love shooting the red cabana stripe umbrellas out by the pool, which have a timeless vibe. But the image that stands out the most is the sculpture in the lobby garden of a gold mammoth skeleton. There’s nothing else like it in Miami, and it’s just morbid enough — despite its beauty and gold trappings — to make photos unforgettable.

6. Ride right through the front door of this daylight drive-in studio

Something that’s often overlooked for professional photoshoots is accessibility. Sometimes you need to incorporate a particular vehicle into the shoot and, when that’s the case, you need a roomy studio that can accommodate you. This is a great option, as the spacious cyclorama receives ample natural light from large north-facing windows. Of course, garage-style door aside, it’s still just a beautiful, large, open studio space that can be molded to fit almost any need.

In the straightforward words of a Peerspace reviewer: “Great spot! You have access to everything you need”

7. Rise above it all in this beautiful industrial loft

There’s a luxurious vibe to this loft on account of its tasteful furnishings, concrete floors and walls, and sky-high ceiling. Just beyond the glass is a top-notch view of Miami’s downtown skyline, giving the whole scene a distinctly urban feel, a bit of a departure from most depictions of Miami. It’s not hard to imagine a model leaning against one of those windows and looking out onto the rooftops.

“Loved the space. This loft is super clean and gives you a lot of opportunities for different shots,” shares a Peerspace reviewer, “No problem getting into the building or the actual loft. There is construction going on across the street, but the loft is absolutely silent. Really cool space.”

8. Hone your craft in this humble Wynwood photo studio

This straightforward photo studio is compact but also relatively open, well-lit, and conveniently located. It’s definitely budget-friendly for the area, and the venue can provide professional lighting equipment if you ask in advance. It’s got everything you need for a studio portrait session or lifestyle shoot.

A photographer shared the following Peerspace review: “I had a last minute headshot I needed to do and Gloria was super helpful & accommodating. The space is as described & great for small shoots.”

9. Lean against these picturesque lifeguard stands

People love shooting on the beach in Miami, of course — why wouldn’t they? But one of the quirkier and more distinctive features of Miami’s beaches are the creatively colored lifeguard stands, ranging from loud patterns to muted pastel color schemes. Many of them stand out beautifully against the blue hues of the sea and sky, meaning they’re just the thing to add another layer to a visually arresting photo.

10. Book this roomy Victorian lounge with loads of personality

There’s more to this vibrant space than what immediately meets the eye. You’ve got a few different photoshoot settings all in one venue. The main room is a Victorian-style parlor with colorful wallpaper, retro furnishings, and a moody ambiance. There’s also a bar in the entranceway, so all in all, there’s a lot of versatility packed into this venue.

11. Dream big in this enormous, versatile production space

Big projects need big spaces, and this stunning production space is one of the best in the city. For one, it’s huge, featuring both a spacious main room and a very cool outdoor area, complete with a pool. Secondly, the staff can work with you to set up special equipment and even an extra-tall cyc wall. You can bring just about any vision to life here.

And just check out this rave Peerspace review from a photographer: “AMAZING SPACE!!! Antonio was very helping through entire shoot, and he has great selection of production equipment for all your needs. Highly reccommend!!!”

12. Take a cruise down Ocean Drive

Ah, glorious Ocean Drive. Miami’s more historic aesthetic side is on full display here, meaning it’s a perennial favorite for area photographers. The color palettes of the buildings are to die for. In addition, classic cars often make cameos, and the vintage signage lends the kind of character to your photos that’s priceless.

13. Visit Morocco without ever leaving Little River

If you want to go full-on exotic in your quest for photoshoot ideas in Miami, then you need to see this Little River Moroccan-inspired studio! It’s a standing set complete with sand mosaic lamps, cacti, and Middle Eastern knickknacks that all come together to provide an authentic photoshoot setting.

But don’t just take our word for it! A Peerspace reviewer shares: “Beautiful Moroccan set with multiple props to play with, the sand definitely adds a realistic touch. In love!”

14. NYC rooftop vibes in the heart of Miami

Here is yet another gorgeously-designed studio in Little River, but this time we’re visiting the Big Apple and celebrating NYC rooftop vibes. It’s a mini set that boasts neon lights, faux plants, and wicker furnishings, making it beautiful and looking possibly inspired by a hipster’s rooftop in Williamsburg. Either way, we love it, and think it’s one of the most fun photoshoot ideas in Miami.
