With its gorgeous photography and breathtaking pools, author and photographer Kelly Klein’s new book makes a splash.

I am fascinated with pools because…
I love the shapes, colors and designs that pools have become. I love the way the light from the sun and sky reflects on the water, creating different colors of water in the pool. Swimming pools, in my eyes, are sculptures in the earth. They have become architecturally so interesting.

My first memory of swimming in a pool…
My sister and I had a pool growing up in Westport, Connecticut. We spent hours swimming with friends, competing in races, diving and doing flips. Great memories….

Pool I am most obsessed with right now…
The pool at the top of the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore with the view of the city behind it.

Favorite pool to visit in the world…
The pool at the Amangiri resort in Utah.

Lately I’m inspired by…
Architecture. I am always looking for interesting homes around the word and thinking about the next house I would like to design.

My personal style is…
Simple, relaxed, natural and clean.

In my beach bag…
Sunscreen as well as lip color and lip gloss from Aerin Lauder’s new beauty line.

My sunglasses…
Are from Moscot.

Bikini or one piece?
One-piece bathing suits by Lisa Marie Fernandez. They are looking so good now.
