New York Streets with Daniel Arnold

Known for his off-guard shots of the citizens of New York, Daniel Arnold captures the real experiences of American life. A passion that started off as a pastime, practised between his jobs as a journalist, Arnold's photographic style-and perhaps the reason for his wide appeal-sees him get up-close to his subjects, capturing authentic moments that draw viewers in.

I love it, quote worthy, “actually, you know, not only can you do, whatever thing you decide to do, why not you? Everybody else is the same mortal, garbage, nothing that you are...so why not you?”...freickn real...SOOOOO REAL.

I've travelled a bit and I can honestly say New York is the best place I have ever been! Being a photographer in New York, my god, that's the dream...

Lmao new York is filthy

His photos are so good that I wanted to look closely at them and it was hard to pay attention to what he was saying. This guy's great!

[@on-streetphotography366]

His street photos are great. You can feel how many time he spends walking around in NYC.

[@HeavehBurtation]

I really love Daniel's work and dedication to this genre. And I also love whenever he talks about how stressful and scary it is, because it is absolutely terrifying. I was attacked and fractured my leg a few years ago doing street photography here in Seattle, the nightmare came true. I've recently gotten back into it, but I don't think taking up close candid shots of people will ever feel comfortable for me. It just is what it is, but it is thrilling, and there isn't really a street photography scene or collective here, not a real one anyway. If you have even an ounce of talent, and some courage, I feel like the street photo scene here is more or less wide open for the taking.

[@goopcat]

What’s the photo that got your leg broken look like?

[@JoshFriedlander]

OH NOWNESS! Sometimes you really deliver.

4:30 is kehinde wiley. Seeing him walking his incredible dogs in SoHo is one of the sights i miss from new york

Wow I love him and his pics!

I wish I live in a place like New York and be as brave as him.

can you guys color grade just a tad

I think it creates a contrast for the pictures

can you make a good youtube video you poser, a tad

I think the intention is to show the pictures.

was this video footage kept in Log picture profile?

Daniel! You are refreshing cutie pie

Thank you for sharing. I love the work of Daniel Arnold and New York is also an amazing place. In the video at 5:01 there is a fantastic Vespa in the background :-) In addition to its rarity it totally adds to the photo. Love it.

I was confused by that too...and there's another one later in the video. I can only assume that they are looking down at something and that their whole neck and head is just at the right angle to not be visible. Great photos.

These are wonderful but too short. 10 minutes should be the minimum. Feels like they're just getting started and they're over. Let us occupy and contemplate the space a little.

This is WAY off topic, but I’m looking for a hard to find vintage public poster from the 1980’s. It shows three babies - one White, one Black and one Asian. The text read something like ‘No One is Born a Racist’ Please reply if you even have a photo of this poster. Some were posted in the NYC Metro. Ty 🙏

Emmanuel Gutierrez No

[@SunShingles]

@@linusfotograf My question was a little bit of a sarcasm. I know you don't like it. I just think if the work doesn't speak to you, what makes you think someone giving you an explanation will change your mind about it?

Emmanuel Gutierrez Not to make me change my mind but to make me understand.

[@lincolnlin480]

Linus Wärn id say I like them because of the intensity and honesty about it. No bullshit, no bedding for the story telling, just one two three and let’s go. And I admire the courage of his to physically use his camera and body to “assault” people, being considered as socially “rude”. And I love it. Kinda like an assassin, pretty cool. Respect.

honey I aint no mortal garbage,,,,what u tallkin bout????

[@ericprochnow]

Seriously though, how does he make money? Is this a hobby, does he live in a closet, is he filthy rich and sells to vogue? How does one make a livable wage with street photography? Honest question, looking for an honest answer.

[@niquoOG]

I believe he sells prints and works for vogue, seen some bts of him in the office

[@stoneedge2736]

hes also an ambassador for a camera brand

[@qwe1231]

Just look at his clothes, his jeans jacket, the ratty sofa and the nails holding up the box on the wall. In other words, do what photographers do: notice things.

[@inigotaylor9401]

Not really sure why his work has become so popular, perhaps I am missing something but in the tradition of nyc street photography these images look like what I imagine Jeff Mermelsteins rejects look like. Good luck to him and may his success long continue but for me in the context I have seen the images they are actually quite boring. Street photography seems to be the in vougue hobby, he has obviously ridden that wave and garnered an audience of millions through savvy self promotion, it actually makes one consider how little photography these audiences engage with outside of Instagram feeds. Again if they saw Mermelsteins work they really would lose there minds. The blurred and grainy surface of small camera analogue pictures fulfill a nostalgia itch/fetish, I think a lot of the audience get lost in that aspect of picture making now, such importance in the means of how images are made as opposed to intent and content.

[@EliDaSpanishFly]

The salt in this post 👌

[@inigotaylor9401]

still stand by it,@@EliDaSpanishFly. nothing personal against the photographer, create it too him but the hype around them has more to do with social media mechanics and an audience who doesn't really know there arse from their elbow. It's tired, drab and boring.

[@EliDaSpanishFly]

@@inigotaylor9401 as is life. It can be a tiring and boring pursuit. I think many can relate to that fact in his images...

[@NickBlackBlues]

Jeff mermelstein’s photos look like getty stock images by comparison. They’re very literal-minded. This work (Arnold’s) feels alive, and if you’ve ever lived in New York, you’d know that it feels JUST like New York. I am so glad he is doing this, it keeps me inspired when I feel numb. If you don’t get it, or maybe if you don’t un-get it, perhaps it might be worthwhile to sit with some of these photos for a while. But it seems like you already have your mind made up. Either way, best of luck.

[@Bobby_sprinkles]

Some of his work is incredible, some of it trash, but every time I hear him speak I'm sucked into his personality.

[@vinylisland6386]

I know how he does it. He goes round beheading people. Such a cheap trick.

[@MeAlexSenna]

Lazy photography, spray and pray, nothing special about it
