SEEING DIFFERENTLY: MIAMI COLOR THEORY / Tra Publishing
In SEEING DIFFERENTLY, award-winning graphic designer, photographer, and artist Laura Paresky Gould takes readers on a mesmerizing visual journey through the vibrant city of Miami, combining colorful, minimal photographs, insightful quotes, and engaging lessons on art and perception. Featuring over 160 color images, SEEING DIFFERENTLY is a multi-hued catalog that captures the architectural gems, captivating shadows, and diverse shapes found throughout the Magic City.
Drawing inspiration from her three-part video series on digital photography for The Bass, Miami Beach’s contemporary art museum, as well as her popular Instagram account @miamicolortheory, Gould delves into the art of Minimal Photography, the Seven Elements of Art, Five Composition Techniques, and The Practice of Seeing. Miami Color Theory showcases Gould’s iPhone images and has gained worldwide attention, with features on Apple’s Instagram and accolades such as “Best Instagram” by the Miami New Times.
Each photograph portrays beauty that often goes unnoticed, such as highlighting the patterns of lines on a parking garage, the beauty of a bright orange cone against a blue striped building, a shadow that follows the lines of a mural, or the shapes made from shadows of art deco architecture.

“Thoughtfully considers color, line, and space in the architecture of her hometown. With eyes wide open, she makes profoundly moving images.”—Franklin Sirmans, Director, Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM)
