the board and, even more specifically, the Hip Hop community really took me under their wing. There are so many different kinds of music that come out of this city. It’s truly an incredible place.” Over the last years, Arnold has photographed an incredible range of concerts, featuring artists such as Doja Cat, Casual, the Melvins, DJ Fresh, Dizzy Fae, and many others. Through these experiences, she has further developed her very distinct and bold style, about which she says, “I always lean towards a very bright and colorful ‘larger than life,’ documentary style.”
Her documentary style remarkably captures the experiences of both the musician and the fans. Her pictures simultaneously showcase the power of performing a concert, while also capturing the intimacy of the artist. She describes, “I try to frame [the musicians] in the light of the stage or catch them doing something that shows their personality.” At the same time, her photography features pictures of the fans and captures the experience of being at a concert, of connecting with a musician and their music, of dissolving fully into the moment. Unsurprisingly, Arnold remarks, “When I am shooting, I tend to get lost in the moment with my subjects.” Her photography allows you to get lost with her at the concert.
