orizontal photo of the beach in the town of Capesterre on the island of Marie-Galante in the Caribbean. A strip of white sand, with shadowed splashes from the overhead palms, anchors the lower fifth of the image. Beyond the sand beach we see the light-turquoise Caribbean Sea—with a narrow strip of dark blue on the horizon where the waves break over distant coral reefs. From the beach, the camera looks upward following tall, skinny, wind-swept palms that lean in from both edges of the photo against a pure blue, cloudless sky in the upper two-thirds of the image. Rounded circles of palm fronds at the top of each palm tree hover in the sky like small bursts of green fireworks in the upper third of the image.

Discover the World Through the Lens of Karl Buhl

The magic of light: What a wonderfully enigmatic medium from which to interpret the world—through a creative confluence of art, inspiration, and imagination.

I like to think of my photography as colorful, inquisitive, and cheerful—capturing portraits, landscapes, and everyday scenes around the world: People in diverse cultures. Common objects in their daily settings. The geography between land and sea. White sails against a blue sky. These are the subjects. But light is the medium.

Miami’s South Beach at Night

All images are sold in limited editions

Taken from a drone at night hovering at 30-feet over Ocean Boulevard in South Beach, Miami, the Colony Hotel and Boulevard Hotel fill most of this landscape image. Baby blue lights illuminate the Colony’s façade, and blue neon outlines the letters on the hotel’s inverted-T sign, with the word ‘Colony’ reaching vertically from the second story to the roof. Boulevard Hotel’s red neon vertical outline and red neon sign contrasts dramatically with the Colony’s softer blue theme. Black sky and the dark street frame both hotels in the image.

This night shot of the Leslie Hotel on Ocean Drive in Miami’s South Beach was taken from a drone hovering 40-feet across the street. Twin gold-lit vertical art deco fan facades reach from the second floor to the top of the roof. A red awning is brightly illuminated from the street level underneath, where tables are crowded with alfresco diners. A dark night sky and dimly lit street frame the building and outdoor dining scene top and bottom.

A horizontal drone photo on Ocean Drive in Miami’s South Beach at night. Taken 30-feet in the air from the park across the street, the composition looks directly at the center of Havana 1957, an authentic Cuban restaurant. Columns of multicolored lights between the windows on the second and third levels spotlight the building's long, white façade with pillars of intense blue, red, purple, green, and yellow. Ten square umbrellas line Ocean Drive, underneath which a hundred or more patrons dine alfresco. A man with a white shirt and white panama had stands at the entrance to the restaurant looking inside.

A horizontal drone photo on Ocean Drive in Miami’s South Beach at night, taken 30-feet in the air from the park across the street. A dark, deep purplish-blue light cloaks the three-story Crescent Hotel on the left—accentuated with blue neon art deco accent lights: Seven blue neon circles in a row hover just below the flat roofline. Horizontal blue neon lights line the tops of the windows on the second and third levels. On the right third of the façade, a pair of blue neon lights rise vertically from the portico to the roof, curving 90-degrees left over the blue circles. The Hotel's name, "Crescent," blazes in red neon art deco letters centered over the first-floor portico. Adjacent and to the right, Mc Alpin's three-story façade glows in a shimmering, amplified ultraviolet green. The illuminated 'Mc Alpin' sign, centered over the portico, blazes in an intense lime green over the entrance. Both façades look like art deco cubes: the dark blue Crescent on the left; bright green Mc Alpin on the right.

A horizontal drone photo on Ocean Drive in Miami’s South Beach at night. Taken from 30-feet in the air from the park across the street, the composition looks straight to the center of the Avalon Hotel. Bands of bright green neon lights stretch across each of the three-story balconies, in between a checkerboard of backlit and unlit windows. The hotel’s signature “Avalon” horizontal sign, in large art-deco font, illuminates the front of the building’s second story. Square yellow umbrellas line Ocean Drive where guests dine alfresco. A lone, white and yellow 57’ Chevy convertible, with 4-inch whitewall tires and lots of ‘attitude,’ sits proudly, parked on the street. The polished hood and trunk of the Chevy glistens underneath the green lights of the hotel’s façade.

A horizontal drone photo on Ocean Drive in Miami’s South Beach at night. Taken from 150-feet in the air, the image looks down to the Breakwater Hotel from the park across the street. The Breakwater’s long vertical blue neon sign rises from the second story, reaching 50-feet or more over the top of building’s 4-story frame. Two mint green colored swimming pools hug the front edge of the roof on either side of the large vertical sign. Orange neon horizontal lights outline the second, third, and fourth floors. On the street level far below, square awnings line Ocean Drive, where guests dine alfresco.

A horizontal drone photo on Ocean Drive in Miami’s South Beach at night. Taken from 30-feet in the air, the image looks directly at the Mc Alpin and Ocean Plaza Hotels from the park across the street. Bands of bright blue lights illuminate the facades of both buildings, in between layers of windows on each of the three levels. Palm frond silhouettes frame the left and right foreground of the image. A pale lavender-gray sky fades to twilight behind the buildings. Car headlights and taillights streak by horizontally on Ocean Drive, captured by the long shutter.

In a night drone shot, the drone hovers 30-feet on the corner of Ocean Drive and Ninth Street overlooking Mango’s Tropical Café in South Beach, Miami. White Italian miniature lights decorate the trunks of 40-foot palm trees for Christmas in front of the restaurant. The palm treetops frame the top of the image. The second story façade is brightly lit in a bright greens and blues. Patrons sit outside underneath a dark green awning that runs the length of the restaurant. Headlights and taillights of passing cars blur in motion as they pass in front.

A drone, hovering 100-feet or more at night, looks west over the Breakwater Hotel’s blue vertical backlit sign and roof, at the bottom of the image, to Miami’s skyline over 3-miles away. Buildings and rooftops lit from the outside—many with illuminated windows—compose the lower 2/3s of this landscape image. Just beneath the black sky at the top of the image, Miami’s high-rise architecture fills the horizon with hundreds of tiny neon and window lights from the buildings on the skyline.
