96° in the Shade

In 2003, after a decade of documenting the rise of west coast rap music in my native Los Angeles, I moved to Miami Beach and began making photographs of the beautiful people I met – surfers, celebrities, waiters, models, strangers and friends. When I wasn't doing client work, I roamed the beaches from the Sagamore Hotel to south of Fifth nearly every day, getting to know the people who made this beach their temple – and who graciously allowed me to make photographs with them. From thousands of frames made between 2003 - 2007, I’ve curated a selection of 100 of the most beautiful images for this retrospective.
