As we’ve seen before with the pools at Aqua Aloha Surf and The Equus, photographers like to get and down dirty with hotel pools. By crouching low and pushing right up against a pool (like the one seen here at Crowne Plaza Hotel Beverly Hills), a photographer can get a wide-angle shot that makes the pool look larger than it is. When part of the pool is out of sight, it’s hard to tell where it truly ends and begins. By showing the pool in its entirety, Oyster gives a realistic view.
