Water is one of humankind's most important resources and so it's no different in the fashion world, as waterside fashion shoots are both inspirational and near-ubiquitous. Take a look at how the fashion industry gets creative with water for photoshoots.
These fashion shoots are by no means watered down -- water adds sass and experimentation to the editorials. From color-popping beach shoots to glamorized lifeguards, the use of serene waterside settings like lakes and beaches creates picture-perfect waterside fashion shoots.
