Tropical Pools – Aerial Perspectives (Part 1)
I’ve always been captivated by the meeting point of land and sea, documenting the intricate patterns shaped by natural forces along coastlines. Usually focused on untouched landscapes, I recently observed an unexpected addition to these views: sprawling vacation resorts and hotels, each with pools that offer a unique architectural form. From above, these pools reveal very unique shapes, textures, and colors – elements I felt compelled to capture.
For this project I worked on a series of aerial shoots, primarily from helicopters, which allowed me to explore and frame these designs from untypical angles. Flying over these resorts offered me an entirely new perspective, highlighting pools that echo or contrast the natural shapes of the surrounding coast. I found joy in documenting these structures, as the project combines two of my photography passions: water-related landscapes and architecture.
The result is a collection that showcases both the beauty of design and the surprising harmony between natural and constructed elements. Each pool tells a story of leisure and human creativity, revealing how our designs become part of the coastal landscape, creating unexpected patterns that transform the environment in playful and thought-provoking ways.
Selected artworks are available as fine art prints. Please visit the Print-Shop for orders and informations.
