That Arnold

😉✌🏼 It was a great day, that makes it easy to tell a great story

Started as a hiking-themed shoot. Ended with a conversation with the police. Fair? YouTube video by That Arnold

I once suggested a “hiking photoshoot” to an exotic dancer.

I imagined boots and practical clothes.
She apparently heard: bring the absolute minimum.

Families walking by.
People staring.
Someone called the police.

The story is wild 😅

☺️ Thanks man

Exactly. A good tool stays a good tool. It’s always about how you use it 😉

It Doesn’t Matter What Camera You Use — That Arnold Does camera gear really make better photos? In this Heatwave Diaries article, I explain why light, intention, and vision matter more than expensive equipment, and how training your eye will transform ...

Once you know what you want something to feel like, everything aligns.
Framing.
Direction.
Editing.
Confidence.

Light will always matter more than specs.

If you want the full breakdown, I wrote about it here:

Better gear does not automatically mean better photos.

The images that actually stop people from scrolling are about light.
Mood.
Intention.
Energy.

The biggest shift in my work didn’t come from upgrading a camera body.

It came from asking:
What do I want this to feel like?

(𝟮/𝟯)

Nobody cares what camera you use. They care how it feels.

I made a video about the question I get all the time:
“What camera is that?”

It’s never really about the gear.

There's a first time for everything 😉

Thanks man! I appreciate it

By 10am Ibiza turns into a frying pan and the magic is gone.

But for those first hours, it felt like we’d borrowed the island.

Thank you to everyone who supports these days and the stories behind them. It genuinely means a lot.

What made it special wasn’t just how she looked.

It was having a place like this completely to ourselves. No phones in the background. No strangers wandering into frame.

Just her, the sea, and me quietly grateful I wake up early for a living.

We moved around the rocks, tested angles, ditched a couple ideas that looked better in my head than in real life.

That’s the game.

Sometimes you’re a creative genius.
Sometimes you’re just a guy with a camera and strong optimism.

I’ve shot there before. Usually it’s chaos by noon.

That morning it was silver and quiet. Just waves, cliffs, and me trying to act professional while thinking, “okay wow, this is working.”

No big production. No assistants. Just good light and good timing.

She showed up at sunrise in Ibiza looking like summer had personally RSVP’d.

Pastel bikini. Bucket hat. Zero tourists.

If you’ve ever been to Cala d’Hort in the afternoon, you know this is basically a miracle.

Haha 😅 well, go do it yourself, I'd say.

✌🏼😉

Of course. The connection is everything. But it is definitely something you can learn to get better at as a photographer.

If you liked yesterday’s post about the shoot with Shirley, here’s a shorter video of that afternoon.

Same chaos. Same five moods. Just condensed.

Let me know if you’ve already seen the full version on YouTube.

I honestly love sharing these days with you guys.

Arnold ✌🏼

Thanks a lot my man 😉✌🏼

😂🙈 just letting it hang

Thanks a lot!

Thanks man! Would you do me a favor and leave a little comment on the YouTube video? Trying to grow my channel and every comment and like really help to tell the algorithm that people are enjoying my videos! 😊

Thanks man! And indeed it does. What do you think of her? ☺️

I only planned ONE shot. YouTube video by That Arnold

An Afternoon That Refused to Stay the Same | Shooting with Shirley in Valencia — That Arnold A late September photoshoot in Valencia that kept changing mood. From a playful pedestrian bridge to surreal heatwave chaos, lingerie under a beach shower and a wild sandy sunset, this Heatwave Diarie...

I wrote the full story of this crazy day on the Heatwave Diaries. The reflections, the pivots, the light decisions, everything that happened between the moments.

Clouds killed the light. I pulled out the flash.

Suddenly it felt cinematic.

And by the time we reached the beach at sunset, it felt wild. Sand everywhere. Wind everywhere.

Five moods. One afternoon.

I only planned one shot.

#sunset #beach

At some point I noticed the shower.

In my head, I was thinking simple bikini. Raw. Easy.

She pulled out black lingerie.

We both looked at it. Looked at the shower.

So we said screw it and tried it anyway.

#lingerie #storytelling

From laughing at passing cars to drinking beer under the trees like it wasn’t even a shoot anymore.

The energy kept shifting. Slower. Softer. Then suddenly chaotic again.

No structure. Just instinct.

#behindthescenes #creative

I only planned one shot that afternoon.

Just the bridge in Pinedo. Something playful. Something that felt like we were getting away with it.

I didn’t expect the day to turn into five different moods.
