After the devastating Hurricane Andrew struck Miami Beach in 1992, the lifeguard towers underwent a vibrant redesign to uplift the spirits of the town. Inspired by the iconic Becher's water tower series, this book by photographer Tommy Kwak presents a systematic examination of over 30+ iconic towers that have become symbols of South Florida's revitalization. Employing a similar framing and long exposures, the photographs in this award-winning series create minimal backdrops for the sky and sea, allowing the towers' unique characteristics to shine. Through the careful composition, sophisticated use of angles, and manipulation of light, shadow, and colors, Tommy's distinct style is recognizable. This body of work celebrates a kind of ephemeral beauty while simultaneously transforming these structures into more graphic forms, offering a fresh perspective on the lifeguard towers of Miami Beach.
