Travel along the coast with this beautiful guide to ocean pools - stunning spaces to exercise, relax, recuperate and socialise.
Chris Chen
For photographer Chris Chen, the beauty of ocean pools lies in the
way the human-made elements blend with the natural landscape. She
sees these pools as uniquely spectacular spaces that allow us to
connect with the wildness of the ocean within the safety of their
edges.
Growing up in Brisbane, Chris discovered her passion for
photography in a high school dark room. After graduating, she made
Sydney her home where she completed a Visual Arts degree and fell
in love with the local beach culture.
Since establishing herself as a commercial photographer over 25
years ago, she has shot a wide range of subjects including travel
destinations, cookbooks, interiors, portraits and products for some
of the world's most recognised and respected brands and
publications.
