Pascal Depuhl is chief mind changer at Photography by Depuhl, a Miami-based visual content creation company. It’s common to find him in the mountains of Afghanistan or the jungles of South America and it’s just as common to walk away from the visual content he creates with your mind changed.

If you want to be blown away by some young talent in Miami check out the Taste of Design at DASH - the Design and Architecture Senior High School in the Design district. Ranked the #2 high school in Florida (#20 in the nation according to US News) this school crafts young artists into unbelievable creative powerhouses in architecture, fashion design, film, graphic design, and industrial Design.

It’s not the easiest magnet school to get into (you’ll need a killer portfolio) and the admissions process is made up out of a live drawing audition, a review of said portfolio and an interview of the student.
