Whether you’re creating a high-energy music video, a luxury brand shoot, or a cinematic experience — we can help you build the full environment around your vision.
From camels, lemurs and monkeys to flamingos, zebra, giraffe, elephants, big cats and more, we help creative teams create unforgettable images with professionally managed exotic animals throughout Miami, Broward, Palm Beach and across Florida.
Whether you’re a creative director building a national campaign, a producer planning a Miami music video, a photographer developing a fashion editorial, or a content creator looking for the shot nobody else has, bring us the concept.
With more than 20 years of South Florida production experience, we know that bringing the animal is only part of the job. Pre-Planning, timing, location, talent interaction, staging, safety and on-set coordination all have to come together to get the shot without slowing down the production or breaking any laws.
We’re Trusted by major brands, celebrities, production companies, photographers and internationally recognized creators for a reason.
Send us the animal, shoot date, location and creative concept — or simply send the treatment, mood board or reference image and let’s start there.

A monkey handing you a banana… A model “walking” a Tiger. Flamingos surrounding a luxury product shoot by the pool. A Lemur jumping to your artist. Scarlet macaw on roller skates… We’ve done all of the above and can you bring your next vision to life!
Exotic Animals Miami coordinates extraordinary animals and professional animal teams for commercial photography, music videos, advertising campaigns, fashion shoots, film and television productions, branded content and creative projects throughout Miami, South Florida and Florida.
We work with creative directors, photographers, producers, production companies, advertising agencies, brands, artists, record labels, content creators and social-media teams that need more than an animal rental.
They need to create a shot.
Send us the treatment, storyboard, mood board, reference image—or even the crazy idea you haven’t figured out yet.
On a professional production, the animal is only one part of a much larger machine.
There may be a photographer or director waiting for a specific moment, talent in hair and makeup, lighting already built, a location booked by the hour and an entire crew working against a production schedule.
That requires more than simply finding an animal.
Our team brings more than 20 years of professional South Florida event and production experience to projects requiring unusual logistics, specialty talent and live animals.
We help coordinate timing, arrival, location suitability, staging, appropriate interaction, animal professionals and communication between the necessary parties—while recognizing that the animal’s comfort and well-being come before the shot.
Whether you’re creating one hero photograph or producing a full commercial campaign, our approach is simple:
Understand the creative. Understand the animal. Then find the best way to bring the two together.
Great animal imagery doesn’t come from forcing a moment. Often, the most compelling images happen when the production creates the right environment and allows the animal to be an animal.
Miami is built for visual storytelling.
Tropical color. Waterfront estates. Architecture. Fashion. Exotic cars. Yachts. Nightlife. Luxury. Palm trees. Pools. And a creative culture that rewards imagery people haven’t already seen a thousand times.
Live animals can transform an ordinary scene into the image people remember from the entire video.
We coordinate exotic animals for music videos in Miami and throughout Florida, from independent artist content to larger productions involving directors, record labels and professional production companies.
Depending on the concept and availability, that might mean a camel appearing in an unexpected setting, colorful birds surrounding an artist, reptiles creating a darker visual, flamingos establishing a surreal tropical scene or another extraordinary animal becoming part of the visual story.
If you already have a treatment, send it.
If you only have the idea, send that.
We’ll evaluate the creative alongside the needs and natural behavior of the animal and help determine what’s realistically possible—and how to capture something extraordinary without asking the animal to become a prop.
[SEND US YOUR MUSIC VIDEO CONCEPT →]
For a commercial campaign, an animal shouldn’t be there simply because it’s unusual.
Its presence should mean something to the creative.
We work with advertising agencies, creative directors, brands and commercial production companies seeking live animals for advertising photography, commercials, product launches and branded content throughout Miami and Florida.
Projects can include:
If the creative calls for a particular species, color, size, appearance, movement or interaction, involve us early.
Sometimes the concept is straightforward. Other times, the exact image envisioned on a storyboard may not be appropriate for that particular animal.
That’s where experience matters.
We may recommend a different animal, location, camera position, type of interaction or way of staging the scene that preserves the creative intent while working with the animal rather than against it.
The more we understand about the final shot, the more useful we can be.
Animals bring something to photography that is difficult to manufacture.
Movement. Texture. Scale. Unpredictability. Personality.
And sometimes, an extraordinary connection between an animal and the person sharing the frame with it.
For Miami fashion photography, editorial shoots and luxury brand campaigns, we can coordinate animals that complement the creative direction rather than simply appearing as a novelty.
Imagine tropical birds against resort wear. A white camel within a monochromatic luxury palette. An albino snake incorporated into dramatic styling. Flamingos beside a modern pool. An extraordinary animal creating contrast against architecture, fashion or an unexpected environment.
But some of the most powerful images come from allowing room for the unexpected.
An animal isn’t a static prop—and we don’t treat it like one.
Whether you’re producing a fashion campaign, magazine editorial, lookbook, cover image, portfolio or luxury brand shoot, we want to understand the photograph you’re trying to create and then help determine the most appropriate way to capture it.
Sometimes the assignment is simpler:
Create something people haven’t seen before.
An authentic interaction with an animal can create an immediate visual hook for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Shorts and branded social campaigns.
We work with professional content creators, influencers, social-media teams and digital brands producing everything from polished campaign assets to spontaneous-looking vertical content.
A well-planned content day can also generate far more than one post. Depending on the production, your team may capture hero photography, short-form vertical video, lifestyle content, behind-the-scenes footage and additional social assets during the same session.
The goal isn’t to manufacture a viral moment at the animal’s expense.
Create the right environment, let the interaction happen naturally, and be ready to capture it.
Live animals introduce production considerations that ordinary props don’t.
For film, television, streaming, documentary and professional video production in Florida, advance planning matters.
We can work with your production team to understand the scene, location, schedule, requested animal behavior, crew environment and approximate duration before determining whether the concept and environment are appropriate.
Depending on the project, planning may involve:
The animal professional responsible for the animal always retains final authority regarding participation, positioning and interaction.
If conditions change or an animal indicates that a planned interaction isn’t appropriate, the production adapts—not the animal.
For producers, establishing those expectations in advance creates a safer, smoother and more professional production for everyone involved.
Our Florida resources provide access to a diverse range of animals, with availability depending on the production date, location, environment and creative requirements.
Our white camel creates an especially unusual visual for luxury, fashion, editorial, music and lifestyle productions. Camels establish scale immediately and can work beautifully in both tropical and deliberately unexpected environments when the location and conditions are appropriate.
Expressive faces, natural movement and individual personalities make lemurs and certain primates exceptionally compelling on camera. Availability and appropriate interaction can vary considerably, so these concepts should be discussed early.
Few animals communicate Miami and tropical luxury as quickly as flamingos and brilliantly colored birds. Macaws, cockatoos and other exotic birds can bring color, movement and personality into fashion, hospitality, music and lifestyle content.
Albino snakes, alligators and other reptiles can create striking imagery for fashion editorials, music videos, commercial concepts and productions seeking something darker, bolder or distinctly Florida.
Certain professionally managed big-cat photography and video productions may be possible under carefully controlled circumstances with the appropriate animal professionals.
These are highly specialized productions requiring significantly more planning, space, environmental consideration and safety protocols than a typical animal appearance.
Sometimes the creative requires scale.
A giraffe, zebra or other large specialty animal can transform a photograph before the shutter is even pressed. Transportation, access, terrain, staging space, weather and the overall production environment become especially important with animals of this size.
Ask us.
Our network extends beyond the animals displayed on this website. If your storyboard calls for something unusual, send us the request and we’ll investigate responsible, realistic options.
[REQUEST A SPECIFIC ANIMAL →]
One of the best production inquiries we can receive is simply:
“Can we create something like this?”
You don’t need to understand animal logistics before contacting us.
Send your treatment, storyboard, creative deck, mood board, reference photograph, sketch or screenshot.
Then tell us what matters about it.
Is it the species? Color? Scale? Movement? Position beside the talent? Interaction? Environment? Camera angle? Overall feeling?
There may be several ways to achieve the creative objective—and sometimes the best solution isn’t an exact recreation of the reference.
We’ll help separate what’s creatively essential from what the animal should never be asked to do simply for a photograph.
This is where our production background becomes particularly useful.
Sometimes finding the animal solves only 20% of the problem.
You still need the estate.
The vintage convertible.
The tropical environment.
The models.
The lighting.
The photographer.
The yacht.
The props.
The strange thing in the background nobody knows where to find.
Through more than two decades working in South Florida’s event and entertainment industry, we’ve developed relationships across an unusually broad range of specialty resources.
Depending on the project, we may be able to assist with:
This can be especially valuable for out-of-market agencies, directors and production companies shooting in Miami.
Instead of asking us only:
“Can you get the animal?”
Show us the entire frame.
Sometimes changing the location, set or surrounding production is exactly what allows us to create the visual around the animal instead of asking the animal to adapt to an unsuitable production.
[SHOW US YOUR CREATIVE →]
Already have the perfect location?
Depending on the animal and production requirements, animal teams may be able to work at studios, private residences, estates, hotels, resorts, event venues, ranches, farms and approved outdoor locations throughout Florida.
But location matters.
Parking and trailer access, flooring, elevators, terrain, shade, temperature, noise, crowds, loading areas and private staging space can all affect whether a particular animal is appropriate for a location.
Tell us where you’re shooting early. If the environment isn’t appropriate for the requested animal, we’ll tell you and explore alternatives.
Ask about shooting at our own private tropical animal property in South Florida.
The property includes tropical landscaping, private animal trails, a coral waterfall pond, covered palapa and a variety of natural environments that can provide multiple looks during the same shoot.
For certain productions, bringing the cameras to an environment already familiar to the animals can also be a better approach than transporting an animal into an elaborate production environment.
[EXPLORE OUR PRIVATE MIAMI ANIMAL VENUE →]
Exotic Animals Miami coordinates photo and video productions throughout Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties, including Miami, Miami Beach, Wynwood, Brickell, Downtown Miami, Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Homestead, Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Wellington, Palm Beach and surrounding South Florida communities.
We can also evaluate projects throughout Orlando and Central Florida, Tampa Bay and West Central Florida, Naples and Southwest Florida, Gainesville and Ocala, Jacksonville, St. Augustine and North Florida through our growing network of regional animal resources.
Larger commercial productions outside Florida may also be possible when the animal, transportation, environment, appropriate animal professionals and applicable requirements make it responsible and practical.
The fastest way for us to help is to understand the production—not simply the animal.
If available, send:
Don’t have all of that yet?
Start with what you have.
A screenshot and two sentences can sometimes tell us more than a completed form.
[GET A PHOTO / VIDEO PRODUCTION QUOTE →]
Professional productions don’t always fit into standard animal appearance pricing.
If you’re planning a half-day, full-day or multi-day commercial photo or video shoot, contact us directly so we can evaluate the animal, appropriate animal professional, transportation, environment, preparation and production schedule together.
Longer productions aren’t simply about booking an animal for more hours. Rest periods, environment, transportation and the individual animal’s needs remain part of the production plan.
If multiple animals, locations or shoot days are involved, we can evaluate the project as a complete production rather than treating each component as an unrelated rental.
Yes. We coordinate exotic animals and appropriate animal professionals for commercial and private photography throughout Miami, South Florida and other Florida markets. Availability and production requirements depend on the animal, location and intended shot.
Yes. We work with artists, directors, record labels and production companies seeking animals for music videos and promotional content. Send us the treatment, storyboard or reference images so we can understand the visual you’re trying to create and evaluate appropriate options.
Yes. Animals can be coordinated for commercials, advertising photography, branded content, product campaigns and other professional productions. We encourage agencies and producers to involve us early in the creative process.
Absolutely. Creative directors, producers, photographers, agencies and production companies are among the audiences this service is designed for. Early communication also gives us the opportunity to identify any elements of the concept that should be adjusted around the animal before production day.
Potentially. Appropriate interaction depends on the animal, talent, environment and requested action. Some animals may participate in closer interactions while others require controlled positioning or separation. Interaction is never guaranteed simply because it appears in the storyboard. The responsible animal professional determines what is appropriate.
Yes. Tell us the animal, size, coloration or visual characteristic you’re trying to achieve. If the exact request isn’t practical or appropriate, we may be able to suggest another approach that preserves the creative intent.
Potentially. Our network extends beyond the animals we feature most frequently. Send us the request and we’ll investigate what responsible options may be realistically available.
Potentially, yes. Our South Florida network includes relationships across events, entertainment and specialty resources, and we may be able to assist with estates, ranches, farms, tropical settings or other unusual locations. Certain shoots can also take place at our own private South Florida animal property.
Potentially, depending on availability, the animals involved and compatibility with the production environment. Multi-animal productions require more advance planning, so send us the complete creative concept rather than requesting each animal separately.
For qualifying productions, applicable insurance documentation and standard Certificates of Insurance can typically be coordinated. Send us the production company’s or location’s requirements in advance for review.
Yes. In addition to Miami and South Florida, we can evaluate productions throughout Central, West, Southwest and North Florida depending on animal availability, appropriate professionals and logistics.
Earlier is better, particularly for unusual species, large animals, multiple animals or productions with complex locations. Production schedules move quickly, however, so we will also evaluate last-minute requests whenever responsible options are realistically available.
That’s usually a good sign.
Our clients don’t come to us because they’re trying to create something ordinary.
They come because the storyboard has a camel standing somewhere a camel shouldn’t normally be.
Because the creative director imagines flamingos around a swimming pool.
Because the artist needs an image people won’t forget.
Because someone put an extraordinary animal into the treatment and now the producer has to determine whether—and how—it can actually be done.
That’s where we come in.
With more than 20 years of South Florida event and production experience and access to an expanding network of professional animal resources, we understand how to take an unusual creative request and turn it into a workable production plan without losing sight of the living animal at the center of it.
Sometimes that means finding exactly what you imagined.
Sometimes it means changing the plan.
And sometimes the animal gives you a moment better than the one you storyboarded.
Whether you’re creating a Miami music video, commercial, national advertising campaign, fashion editorial, luxury brand shoot, social campaign, film production or one extraordinary photograph, bring us the idea.
Send us your treatment, storyboard, mood board, reference images or production details.
