General view looking down on sunbathers on the deck of the yacht 'Traveler II', off the coast of Exuma in the Bahamas, April 1967. The image has been taken from a vantage point on the mast of the yacht.
Playful yet refined, Deck Dwellers celebrates the relaxed elegance of vintage yacht life and the freedom of the open sea. Its distinctive overhead perspective, rich ocean tones, and classic nautical atmosphere make it a beautiful addition to living rooms, lounges, or coastal-inspired interiors with an appreciation for travel, adventure, and leisurely sophistication.
This photograph was captured on a historic 35MM film camera, which is part of it's beauty - so the archival look is presented well when printed, instead of ultra high-definition camera prints.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Slim Aarons was the preeminent lifestyle photographer of the twentieth century. For more than forty years, he documented the manners and mores of society, celebrities, and the leisure class and bore witness to the evolving countenance of society from multiple angles. No other photographer comes close to documenting privilege in the twentieth century at the scale and depth in which he operated.
As he told his longtime friend and editor Frank Zachary, “From now on, I’m going to walk on the sunny side of the street. I’m going to have fun photographing attractive people, doing attractive things in attractive places...” For more than four decades, Slim did just that. He traveled the world, packed lightly and moved fast, or as he said, “No assistants, no props, no stylists, no lights, no problems. That's how I work.” Of course, his speed and professionalism were topped only by his charm, the true secret to his success.
"His pictures are the work of a consummate artist in the guise of a photojournalist. They are carefully crafted, articulated images shaped by a keen sense of form and design. It is their impeccable and seemingly artless composition that makes Slim’s photographs so easy to enjoy and appreciate…over and above their technical virtuosity, Slim’s photographs are profoundly human. His images have the glamour and appeal of the movies but with a vital difference; he projects fantasy that is based on reality—the good life that exists beyond the foxhole and battlefield." - Frank Zachary on Slim Aarons

Amazing quality of the print! I’m so happy with it. I think it’s great to be offered without the frame too. I’ll definitely be ordering more prints. So glad I found your website!! Thank you
Very cool picture! We really enjoy having it in our living room. Unfortunately it did take an extra week to get to us as it was damaged by the carrier picking it up at your facility we were informed via email after we asked why it was taking so long. But when it did arrive, it was in perfect condition and it’s a great statement piece. We’re very happy with the final product.
This would be my 4th but 1st framed print from Leisure Piece. I was wary because other places’ frames looked cheap but charged you a few hundred dollars.
Leisure Piece went way above. The quality of their print and how they framed my pictures is first class!! It’s the only place to buy quality print and frames.
Very happy with this purchase. The only negative is the way to hang the print. I prefer wire hanger with one point to hang the print. They claim that the two point hanger system is better structured for the frame. Although it requires more measurements to get the print level.
Aside from that, I still give five stars regarding construction and quality.
Thank you Leisure Piece!!!!❤️❤️❤️
It wasn't delivered by Christmas as I had thought it would be when I ordered it but the customer service in responding to timeline of delivery was great. They offered to expedite it to get it here on time but the additional cost was prohibitively expensive so my daughter had to wait. Good lesson in delayed gratification. She is super happy with it and feels it completes her room.
12/10 another purchase from Leisure Piece I could NEVER regret. After a solid first order of another piece, and after so many compliments, I decided to find a second piece to compliment my home. The frame is high quality and I love the way the print sits in it. My home feels even more calm and serene. I will continue to recommend this to my friends thank you!
