SEEING DIFFERENTLY: MIAMI COLOR THEORY / Tra Publishing

A vibrant celebration of color, shape, and perception in Miami.

Featuring over 160 minimalist photographs taken on an iPhone, Seeing Differently: Miami Color Theory invites readers to look closer. Artist Laura Paresky Gould captures the color, architectural gems, captivating shadows, and diverse shapes found throughout the Magic City.

The book is based on her @miamicolortheory series and her three-part video series created for The Bass museum of art. Seeing Differently: Miami Color Theory also explores key ideas behind the work: the Seven Elements of Art, Five Composition Techniques, and the Practice of Seeing.

Early Praise:

“Laura Paresky Gould actively looks at what is not immediately visible to many of us: shapes, lines, curves, and, most importantly, color. She uses this consciousness to show people how to see joy in the everyday world.”– Silvia Karman Cubiñá, executive director, The Bass, from the Foreword of SEEING DIFFERENTLY

“The photographs are love letters to Miami, each unique, improbable, intimate, and delightful.”

“Thoughtfully considers color, line, and space in the architecture of her hometown. With eyes wide open, she makes profoundly moving images.”
