I love the colors and shapes of Miami Beach’s iconic lifeguard towers. πŸ©·πŸ§‘πŸ©΅πŸ’šπŸ’™

β€œWithin the abstract detailing of the roof lines, contours, colors and materials, is the optimistic futurism of Art Deco, the local comfort of Cracker Style, and the brightness of South Florida’s tropical fauna.” - William Lane Architects, designers of the original Miami Beach lifeguard towers (1995) and their subsequent redesign (2015)

Sometimes I like creating abstract compositions from the architecture and sky in front of me. What I love most is that the feeling of discovering and creating them lasts far beyond the moment I capture the image. ✨

I love this building β€” the colors and the way the light hits it are always stunning, especially against a bright blue Miami sky. Rebecca from Shulman + Associates, the architects, told me the colors were inspired by mango, sun, water, and sand… which makes it even cooler. It’s the Artist Workforce Housing building in Collins Park, and every time I photograph it, it becomes something completely different. The light, shadows, reflections, and sky are never the same twice.
