Aerial Pool Photography

Gray Malin Snaps Mesmerizing Poolside Photographs from Above

Photographer Gray Malin's latest photography project captures stunning poolside photographs from a bird' s eye view.

The bright images have a distinct summer-infused vibe. Most of the photographs show a collection of inflatable pool tubes that look like clusters of Life Saver candies. In some images there is a single person caught lounging beneath the sunshine among an abundance of floating rings. Other images are strictly made up of the pool toys.

Every pool ring is striped with white and another bright color such as yellow, pink and orange. These summer colors distinctly stand out upon the clear blue watery backdrop.

The project was inspired by the wealthy, travel-infused lifestyle of 1960 jet-setters. These poolside photographs reflects both luxury and simplicity from a unique overhead perspective.
