NYC-based photographer Tommy Kwak brings Miami Beach to life After
the destruction of Hurricane Andrew on Miami Beach in 1992, the
lifeguard towers were commissioned to be redesigned in vibrant
fashion to uplift the spirits of the town. In the tradition of the
Becher's water tower series, this book of Tommy Kwak's photographs
methodically examines the 30+ iconic towers that have become
symbols of South Florida's revitalization. This award-winning
series of photographs utilizes similar framing and long exposures
to produce minimal sky and sea backdrops in order to highlight the
traits of each tower, inviting the reader to appreciate and compare
the electric color palettes and eccentric forms. This body of work
shows Tommy's distinct approach recognizable by the composition of
the pictures, sophisticated usage of the angles, and manipulation
of light, shadow, and colors. Tommy's style of photography
celebrates a kind of ephemeral beauty, and at the same time
transforms these entities into more graphic forms, bringing a fresh
perspective on the lifeguard towers of Miami Beach.
