Alright.

Just dropped a little video dump. Sunrise swims, chaotic laughs, sand in places it shouldn’t be… and yes, a couple tops that mysteriously disappeared along the way.

It’s messy. It’s real. It’s the kind of unreal that only happens when you fully lean into the moment.

I’ve posted it as a reel on Instagram as well. If you’ve got 10 seconds, go hit like and leave a comment. It genuinely helps more than you think.

Here’s the link 👇

Let’s make the algorithm slightly uncomfortable together 😌

Okay boys, new video just went live 👀

The classic question again…
“What camera do you use?”

So I finally talked about it properly.

Not in a technical way.
More in a mindset way.

Because you already know my opinion… it’s never really about the gear.

I'm dropping the video here in the channel, but I’d actually love to hear what you think about it on Instagram.

Go leave a comment there and tell me if you agree with what I’m saying… or if you think I’m completely wrong 😄

Curious to see where you stand on this.

Hey guys,

I just uploaded a little story on YouTube about that photoshoot I once did with Maria… the one where we thought it would be a good idea to do a “hiking photoshoot” in a nature reserve.

You can probably already imagine where this is going.
Families walking around.
Maria checking the map… in a thong.
People pretending not to stare.
And at some point… the police showing up to have a friendly conversation.

It’s honestly one of those shoots that still makes me laugh when I think about it. The photos were great, but the story behind them might be even better.

If you feel like hearing the full chaos, here’s the video:

Also curious…
If you had been walking through that nature reserve and suddenly saw Maria like that… what would you have done? 😄

Boys, quick little Ibiza update 🌅📷

I just posted a free post on Patreon about those last minutes of the shoot with Darina at Punta Galera.

You know that moment when everyone who came to watch the sunset packs up and leaves… and somehow that’s exactly when the best photos start happening?

Yeah. That moment.

I dropped a few photos there, the Instagram post, and a small thank-you message because I’ve seen quite a few new names joining on Patreon the past few days. I see you guys. I appreciate you.

Alright… new one is live 👀

I just published a new article on the Heatwave Diaries.

This one came from something I kept noticing over the years…

a lot of photoshoots don’t actually sound like photoshoots.

They sound like yoga classes 😄

“Relax your shoulders.”
“Lift your chin.”
“Turn a little.”

And the funny thing is… I used to do exactly the same.

So I wrote about why that happens, what it actually does to your photos… and what changed for me over time.

If you're into photography, you’ll definitely recognize this one.

Curious what you think about it.

And I also made a short video about it 🎥

Basically the same idea, but in under a minute.

10 seconds after this, things got slightly out of hand. 👀

I keep thinking about that moment at the end of this shoot.

Not even the fact that she took off her bikini… but how normal it felt. No build-up. No shift in energy. Just a quiet “yeah, of course” and we kept going.

I think that’s what made it work. Nothing was forced. Nothing was pushed. The moment was already there, we just didn’t interrupt it.

I talked about this a bit more in the full video here:

And if you do watch it… drop a comment over there. Even if it’s just a “yeah, I see it” or a random emoji. Helps more than you’d think.

Curious what you think of this one.

Alright… little throwback for you guys 😅

I took my girlfriend on a quiet weekend getaway… and somehow ended up shooting a naked OnlyFans model in the bathtub. Yeah. That actually happened.

I wrote the full story + shared some of the photos in a FREE Patreon post 👇

I’ve been posting more of these throwback stories on there lately. Not just photos, but the real stories behind them.

Would be cool to turn this into a bit of a community of like-minded people who enjoy this kind of content.

Curious what you think when you read it. Let me know 👀

Let’s be honest for a second…

This is one of those photos where you tell yourself “nice shot”…

and then you’re still looking at it 10 seconds later for completely different reasons.

June 2020. Judith.
Somewhere between the sea, the sand, and… yeah, not much thinking going on that day.

I’ve taken a lot of photos over the years, but some of them just have that effect.

This is one of them.

Be honest with me on this one 👇

I gave Sindry my backpack for this “hiking” idea…

told her to check the front pocket.

She looks at me like:
“what did you put in here?”

…and then she finds it.

Let’s just say the whole shoot changed after that 😏

Leopard bikini, forest light, way too much playing around, and one of those mornings that just kept escalating.

I just posted the full story + all photos here 👇

If you’ve ever wondered what actually happens between the photos… this one says a lot.

Just dropped a new YouTube video 👀

This one is from Ibiza… and it’s honestly one of those shoots where everything just shifted halfway through.

Started simple. Then suddenly… orange in hand, no direction, and the whole vibe changed.

Ended up going into topless shots, flash, low light… completely different energy by the end.

I break down exactly how that happened and why those moments are usually the best ones.

Can't wait to read what you guys think about this one 👇
https://youtu.be/tFwmj4nyK8I?is=sYdoM-ZTRlr-A2ID

Imagine starting a conversation like that.

Because that’s basically what I have to say when people ask me what kind of photos I take.

And in the beginning… that made me really uncomfortable.

Not the shoots. Not the photos.

Just that moment where you feel like you have to explain yourself… or even defend it.

That’s the part nobody talks about.

At some point, I stopped explaining myself after the fact…
and started owning it from the start.

This is what I do. This is why I do it.

And everything changed.

Curious if you’ve ever felt that.

Arnold ✌🏼

P.S. I wrote a full Heatwave Diaries article about this if you want to go deeper into it.

https://www.thatarnold.com/heatwave/what-will-people-think

Let’s be real for a sec… some shoots just had a different kind of energy.

A little throwback of Susana from 2021. Blue bikini, sea, big smile, just enjoying the moment like she didn’t have a single worry in the world.

What do you guys think… vibe or what? 😎
