That Arnold

Haha fair 😅 different jobs, different instincts. I just try to keep my hands on the camera and my thoughts… mostly professional. 📷😉

I’m much happier creating freely for Patreon.

That’s where you’ll find the full story exactly how it lives on in my memory.
All photos in HD.
And the full behind-the-scenes video.

On a completely different note…
I recently got 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗧𝗶𝗸𝗧𝗼𝗸.

Turns out my content was never really meant for conservative suits and strict rules anyway.

And honestly, that’s fine.

Then the water hit.

Spraying everywhere. Hair soaked. Lingerie clinging to her skin and turning completely see-through.
Even though it was already pretty transparent to begin with.

Cinematic. Playful. Impossible to look away.

The moment she sat down and grabbed that hose, I knew I was about to witness something special.

No posing. No asking.

Just that quiet confidence that says, 𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴.

Because one second I’m thinking about light and framing…
and the next second Mia is sitting there with a garden hose in her hands.

Honestly. How would 𝘺𝘰𝘶 react?

Thanks! Having a masterpiece as her in front of the camera helps, of course 😉✌🏼💦💦💦

Thanks man! Honestly, I'm just glad I survived. The photos are a nice extra 🤭😉

That's what I was thinking

I filmed the whole thing too. The chaos. The waves. The real moment behind the photos.

The full BTS video is up on Patreon if you want to see how close this came to turning into a swim.

At some point you stop pretending you’re fully in control. You adapt. You shoot. You laugh. You accept that this might have been a questionable idea.

Atlantic Ocean. Volcanic island. Topless Latina. Poor decision making? Possibly. Worth it? Absolutely.

Every wave hit harder than the last. Water everywhere. Camera in my hands. Brain trying to multitask between composition, balance, and the very obvious situation in front of me.

Focus is one thing. Focus while not getting swept off volcanic rocks is another.

Dani found the spot. Black rocks, white lingerie bottoms. She casually mentioned she’d “forgotten the matching bra”. Sure. Totally believable.

The Atlantic was loud. The waves were stronger than they looked. And staying upright suddenly became part of the job description.

Have I ever told you about the time the Atlantic and a topless Latina teamed up against me?

It started as a “quick stop” on a rocky beach in Tenerife. Dark volcanic stone. Heavy waves. One of those places that looks calm until it very much isn’t.

I doubt it 🤭

That genuinely means a lot, thank you. Especially coming from another photographer. Storytelling is the part I obsess over most. If you ever want to talk process, ideas, or your own work, my DMs are always open. 🙏📷

If your model grabs the radio, don’t interrupt the transmission.
Some messages are visual.

Now be honest.
Would you have interrupted her?

#photographerlife #storytelling

That’s usually the mistake.

When a model starts doing something on her own, that’s not downtime.

That’s the moment.
Your job is to shut up, frame it, and let it unfold.

She grabbed the radio.
Sat in the captain’s chair.

Red bikini. Summer morning.

Most photographers would’ve interrupted.
Tried to direct.
Tried to be useful.

What do you think the captain was thinking right here? 🎙️

How to Hear Yourself Think: On Silence, Freedom, and Choosing Your Own Life — That Arnold A personal reflection on silence, freedom, and what happens when you step away from noise, expectations, and routines. An essay about traveling alone, listening inward, and choosing a life that actual...

I wrote about this in a new piece for the HEATWAVE Diaries.

Curious how it lands for you.

What do you actually want from your life?

Not what’s expected of you.
Not what looks good from the outside.

What you want.

And somewhere along the way, when the noise finally fades, a thought shows up in the back of your mind.
Not loud. Not dramatic.
Just persistent enough to notice.

It starts quietly.
A long walk. A road between Barcelona and Valencia.
No messages. No deadlines. No expectations.
Just movement, breath, and space.

Appreciate that 😌 I’ll work on this one when I find the time. In the meantime, a different Heatwave story is coming up very soon… stay tuned 😉

That's a pretty accurate guess 😉

I still haven’t told the full story of this one on the Heatwave Diaries.

Maybe I should.

Question is… do you want to read it? 😏

No big plan. No overthinking.
She sat down, got comfortable, and suddenly the car wasn’t the most powerful thing in the room anymore.

Sometimes shoots don’t need direction.
They just… happen.

A follower invited me to his garage full of vintage American cars.

I asked Eva if she wanted to come along.
She said yes without hesitation.
That should’ve been my first warning.
