Title: The Pool 04
https://www.lensculture.com/articles/karine-laval-poolscapes#slide-12
The heart of this body of work is the pool; each photo involves glassy reflections, watery distortions and blown out colours that ooze summer day dreaming. I am drawn to the warmth in these images even though this particular photo is very cyan and cool, I think of the heat that would allow for this scene and I just want to be in his picture! I love heat and summer and swimming and leisurely days in pool and this series of photos is screaming all of these things to me. These images literally make me feel closer to summer, which sounds lame but growing up at the beach and always by water will make cold winters seem difficult and the photo takes away the winter chills.
Another aspect of this image that I love is the way in which it has been cropped and the angle from which it is taken. Im not really sure as to what the bottom white half of the photo actually is but take from this angle it could be part of a white tiled pool. This angle which dances across the floor emphasises the action and movement of the two ladies coming in and out of the water. This movement is further accentuated by the leading lines of the hand rail. If I were to summarise this image in three words I would choose - crispy, beautiful and inviting.
