About Us: The History And Mission Of Miami In Focus
  Miami In Focus Dominates High End Architectural & Construction Photography
In South Florida


Miami In Focus is the premier architectural photo company in South Florida serving the area and covering national and international projects as well. With clients like Coastal Construction, Zyscovich Architects, Suffolk Construction, Skanska, Perkins + Will and many other architectural and design companies and service oriented general contractors, Miami In Focus has upheld a very high standard of perfection in imagery and client satisfaction.
    In its fifteen year history in south Florida, Miami In Focus and its former companion company New York Focus, have cultivated businesses that think progressively and are aimed at serving the best interest of their clients. Its mission has been to further those sincere aesthetic and practical goals by making sure the marketing teams of these respective companies have the best possible visual narratives to tell their very valuable story to perspective clients.
    This perception in creative imagery itself has a studied and matchless history in well over a decade of photographic endeavors in the heart of New York City by providing imaging services to many prominent companies including Time Inc., Warner Bros, Clairol Professional Hair Products, Paul Mitchell Systems, American Standard and Wacoal Lingerie. This included digital imaging and photographic engineering, a skill that is always incorporated in every single photograph provided to all Miami In Focus clients.
    Every photo delivered is the product of a long established standard of quality that starts with a studied perception of the subject that takes place through the lens. Herein lies an unmatched consistency that insures all clients the best possible results from every assignment. And with Warner Bros. and Time Inc. as taskmasters, the principals of Miami In Focus have mastered skills in achieving post production photo perfection that only years of this type of studied efforts could provide.
    The principals Peter Leifer and Cheryl Stieffel have a long collective history in corporate marketing as well, a fact which gives them very pertinent insight into the needs of their marketing associates at their client companies. That history included the task of providing past clients with high end photo intense branding for various purposes. They were both pioneers in developing photo based digital marketing programs for Time Inc., Warner Bros., Fortune Magazine, Clairol, Taubman Centers, American Standard, Hunter Douglas, Westpoint Stevens and Springmaid.
    Their early application of digital photography includes the formation of the premier website on Central Park, centralpark-ny.com which stands as a comprehensive photographic and practical guide to the world's most complex landmark in landscape architecture.
     Since the formation of their partnership they have also assisted the marketing efforts of many companies across a large spectrum of products and services with high end fashion, product and architectural photography.

Our guarantee is that they will receive exactly what they desire and expect from a shooting.
