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 capturing Miami’s colors and shapes reflected on vehicles. This beautiful @tristaneaton mural at the @museumofgraffiti reflected into a @rivianofficial R1T in Wynwood felt especially fun. A tiny move in any direction completely changes the composition. 🎉🙌😎❤️🩵💛💚🤍

Enjoy some of my favorite Reels!

Instagram just added a feature that lets you place tappable links directly inside Reels.

To use it:
Download and open the Edits app → tap “Links” → choose a Reel or profile → place it anywhere on the screen → publish.

Right now it only works within Instagram, not external websites.

A cool update, and a new way to guide people through how you see.

I love this building — 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.

Architect: @shulmandesign 💙🤍🧡💛🩵

I love creating abstract compositions of Miami architecture using color, shape, curves, negative space, and shadow.
