'Waterfront- Water in Photography since 1852' by Jorge Calado


A book definitely worth taking a look at. Stumbled across it in the library this morning and it is full of photographic gems. Images from 1800's to 1950's to 1990's all linked to water in some way. It completely goes with the work I am doing at the minute for The Swimmer and it shows the sheer variety of imagery that can be captured with water. 

These are my favourites:

Francis J. Mortimer
The Spirit of the storm, 1911

Frank Hurley
The Last Break, 1912

William Rittase
Diver, 1940

Leni Riefenstahl
Miss Gestring,
participant of the Olympic Games for Swimming,
competing for the USA, 1936

Javia Silva Meinel
Rostro com peces, Shipiba, Pucalpa, Peru, 1996

Jacques-Henri Lartigue
Zissou in his tire boat, Roussat, 1911
