Landscapes & Gangsters Volume 1: Miami AF

Miami AF is the debut volume in the Landscapes & Gangsters series, launching with a sold-out opening at the Leica Store in Miami and quickly disappearing from shelves at bookstores across the city.

Now considered a local icon, the book has cultivated a dedicated following among connoisseurs of Miami’s cultural and criminal history, those fascinated by how the city’s neon sheen was shaped by its underworld roots.

“As a Miami native and having moved out from there almost 10 years ago, “Miami AF” reminds me of home. Excellent pictures, there’s some nostalgia to them. Miami has a complex, diverse and rich history that the photographer encompasses comprehensively in his book. A must buy!!”
