S\u00f8lve Sundsb\u00f8,\u00a0Think Tanks, Frank,\u00a0June 1998, on the cover of\u00a0Pools: Lounging, Diving, Floating, Dreaming: Picturing Life at the Swimming Pool. \u201cThe cover image of the book was shot by S\u00f8lve Sundsb\u00f8 in the 1990s,\u201d says Stoppard. \u201cI asked him why the pool is so popular in photography and he said, \u2018It almost invites you to take a photograph. It\u2019s a premade studio.\u2019 I think that\u2019s very true.\u201d\u00a0Photo: S\u00f8lve Sundsb\u00f8\/Rizzoli<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For the better part of the last century, photographers of all kinds have been drawn toward pools, whether for the way their reflective forms are captured by cameras or their role in social gatherings. The resulting images are the subject of Pools: Lounging, Diving, Floating, Dreaming: Picturing Life at the Swimming Pool<\/em> ($65, Rizzoli<\/a>), edited by writer Lou Stoppard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve wanted to do this book for years, so I\u2019ve been collecting great pool photographs for a very long time,\u201d Stoppard tells\u00a0AD<\/em>. \u201cPart of this was to show the way that the swimming pool has remained a seductive place for photographers as years have passed. It sounds negative to call it a trope, but in a way, it is. Pool pictures litter the history of photography.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
