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)
HEATWAVE DIARIES
@heatwave-world.bsky.social
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
A harmless little Mediterranean thought: What if I simply reorganised my entire life around views like this?
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]
Some summer photos feel peaceful. Others feel like the temperature turned the saturation all the way up. #foundintheheat
They said to stay indoors, drink plenty of fluids and avoid unnecessary clothing. Finally, some medical advice I can follow. 🥵🍹
Book the trip. Wear the swimsuit. Become someone else’s holiday story. She clearly understood the assignment: www.instagram.com/soyfreyaa/
Country roads, take me directly to this pool. I’ll deal with the consequences later. 🤠 The hat says country girl. The pool says holiday. The missing swimsuit says she had other plans.
This is either very elegant or very distracting. Probably both. Anyway, if you’re looking for more elegant distraction today, this is her: www.instagram.com/victoriameji...
She’s cooling down. The rest of the village is having the opposite problem.
Send this to the friend who says he has self control. Then wait quietly.
This is the face of someone who knows your plans are about to become less responsible.
She’s out there somewhere. Sun on her skin. Salt in her hair. Probably ruining someone’s ability to think clearly. And you’re still in bed scrolling. Really?
Some photos don’t need a long caption. They need a glass of water and a moment of honesty.
Apparently there’s more than one way to play pool 🎱😏 Be honest: would you still remember the rules of the game, or would you be completely distracted before the first shot? 😂 Oh and btw... She is instagram.com/giuq__
This looks like the exact moment your plans stop being innocent. And honestly? About time.
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 go to the beach for the sea. Others make it very difficult to remember there even is a sea. 👀 Lola absolutely understood the assignment with this one. 🔗 She's instagram.com/lolaa.juarez Be honest… did you notice the view in the background at all?
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.
Just a little reminder to eat your fruit. No one specified how. 🍒
The fan is doing absolutely nothing, so apparently we’re negotiating directly with our clothes now. Heatwave logic: fewer layers lower standards survive somehow 🥵 PS. There’s a new post waiting for you on the Heatwave Diaries: 🔗 www.thatarnold.com/heatwave
Good luck forgetting this view today. And if you do manage it… honestly, seek help. Your imagination may be broken.
The water gun says playful. The heels say absolutely do not trust her. Original creators: instagram.com/cristiaandiaz instagram.com/danipacci
If this makes you want to meet up with friends… same. Not for coffee though. Let’s not lie to each other.
There is something so relaxing about this. Just a chair, the sea, and the dangerous idea that maybe disappearing for a while would fix everything.
Technically there is literature in this photo. Allegedly.
The cap says casual. The rest says good luck. Honestly, that feels like a fair warning.
If this feels like your alter ego… maybe stop keeping her locked up. She clearly has better plans than you.
You get one ride. Choose wisely. And maybe don’t ask too many questions about where we’re going. More questionable summer decisions here: t.me/heatwavefamily
