From the early-morning glow on South Beach to the still waterways of North Bay Village, Miami unfolds through its details – the curve of a pastel façade, the shadow of palms drifting across stucco, the geometry of new towers rising above the shoreline. This co-commissioned photo essay traces the city’s distinctive rhythm, where mid-century silhouettes sit alongside contemporary lines, and everyday scenes reveal a subtler side of its character. As Miami Beach prepares for Art Basel, these images offer a portrait of a place defined not only by its energy, but by the moments of calm and elegance that appear when you look a little closer.
