HEATWAVE DIARIES

I’m That Arnold, photographer and collector of beautiful trouble. Heatwave Diaries mixes my own shoots and their stories with images that make summer and bad decisions look irresistible. 🔥😍 👇🏼 More heat! 🔗 thatarnold.com/HEATWAVE

The best prop at this shoot belonged to Sara’s boyfriend. She was much better at posing with his longboard than riding it. Fortunately, posing with it was the part I needed. 𝗟𝗘𝗧 𝗠𝗘 𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗜𝗡 ⬇️ 🧵 (𝟭/𝟯)

The final photos make this afternoon look beautifully calm. The BTS tells a slightly different story 😂 The wind did not stop for a second, but Titti somehow made standing on a beach in a tiny red bikini look completely effortless. [𝟭/𝟯]

I love these little slow moments from a shoot. The ones where nothing dramatic happens, but you can feel the energy changing. At the start, Chiara was still a little shy. By the end of the morning, she was running around with my camera, telling me what to do. [𝟭/𝟮]

Apparently freedom looks like wet hair, very little fabric, and absolutely no intention of behaving. 🇺🇸 Patriotic? Maybe. Distracting? Extremely. Be honest… are you looking at the stars, the stripes, or neither? 👀

Some people close the curtains when the late-afternoon light hits like this. Other people make much better use of it. Warm skin, wooden walls, absolutely no unnecessary layers… this feels like the kind of summer afternoon that quietly turns into a story you probably shouldn’t tell everyone.
