AURA

AURA by Laura Reid is an aspirational and inspirational book dripping with 100 evocative photographs of treasured yet humble ocean pools where children learn to swim and keep on swimming, often down memory lane. Her images are evocative of the deep passion pools inspire and will stir the heart of those who love a body of inviting salt water to immerse themselves in.

Swimming is a childhood rite of passage and an Australian obsession. AURA acknowledges this and will have you wanting to dive into one of NSW’s east coast saltwater sanctuaries. The dawn and dusk shots are encouragement to create a ritual of your own to enjoy the rich colours that mark the beginning and end of each day. Some are quieter pools, others tell of the ways of the ocean.

AURA. Even the word is beautiful. These playful places where we are free to dive or leap into at no cost have a magical aura all their own. Some dare to use the diving blocks, others swim down memory lanes. Developed by human efforts ocean pools are convenient and accessible, communal, sustainable and most of all restorative. Laura Reid’s photographs plunge you in amongst the best of them.
