After all that hard work, we’ll need a day in Milos with no plans beyond finding some sun and deciding where to eat. Yes, I’m aware I did none of the hard work. 🇬🇷 More summer daydreams: thatarnold.com/heatwave

A paddleboard date sounds very romantic until someone hands me the paddle. Suddenly I’m a photographer and need both hands free. 👀

You were probably not expecting a lesson in personal growth before breakfast, but here we are. 😂

And judging by the packing strategy, apparently clothes were never a major part of the plan.

Somewhere warm. Somewhere by the sea. A group chat already making plans nobody will admit were their idea.

“Let’s book a trip together” is one of those sentences that has never led to sensible decisions.

Best case scenario: we come home with tan lines and a story we definitely shouldn’t put on Instagram.

HEATWAVE DIARIES @heatwave-world.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

I don’t want an itinerary. I want somewhere warm, somewhere new, and just enough bad judgment to make the trip worth remembering.

HEATWAVE DIARIES @heatwave-world.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Someone just has to say “you in?” and the bad decisions can begin. 👀

Very important reminder to appreciate the scenery. All of it.

Growing up is realizing you still want the stories, you just don’t want to suffer for three days afterwards.

HEATWAVE DIARIES @heatwave-world.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

I like my mornings sunny and slightly inappropriate. Some people need silence. Some people need coffee. Apparently Heatwave needs both, plus questionable levels of clothing.

Dear diary, Tuesday morning. Mica in my bedroom, morning light through the window, no big plan and nowhere we needed to be. Funny how the moments that stick with you are often the ones that barely felt important while they were happening. Just a normal Tuesday, apparently. Love, Arnold ✌🏼

So yes, I really wrote an article called The Lidl Sunscreen Principle. 😂 It’s about Mica, ordinary objects, playful photos and why the least glamorous thing in your beach bag might actually be useful. Read it here: www.thatarnold.com/heatwave/lid... (𝟰/𝟰) #heatwave #photography

The Lidl Sunscreen Principle — That Arnold

Photographing Mica at sunrise in Ibiza taught me a simple lesson: the best props aren’t always glamorous. Sometimes a folding chair, swimming goggles and Lidl sunscreen are enough to create natural, p...

HEATWAVE DIARIES @heatwave-world.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

That became the little lesson. Interesting props don’t need to be interesting objects. Sometimes they just need to give someone something to do. A chair. Goggles. Sunscreen. Very ordinary things. Much less ordinary once Mica got involved. 😄 (𝟯/𝟰) #photoshoot #ibizalife

HEATWAVE DIARIES @heatwave-world.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

The sunscreen was supposed to be just another random beach prop. Mica started actually using it. Moving, laughing, rubbing it into her skin… and suddenly the photos stopped feeling like poses. Something was actually happening. (𝟮/𝟰) #photography #summer

HEATWAVE DIARIES @heatwave-world.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

I did not expect a bottle of Lidl sunscreen to teach me anything about photography. Mica had other plans. 😄 Somewhere between a €12 chair, swimming goggles and warm Ibiza light, a surprisingly useful little idea appeared. 𝗟𝗘𝗧 𝗠𝗘 𝗧𝗘𝗟𝗟 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗘 ⬇️🧵 (𝟭/𝟰) #ibiza #heatwavediaries

Okay. Break’s over. Back to the Heatwave Diaries curriculum. Some of you are definitely going to have to repeat this course.

A little sunset to clear your head after yesterday’s exam. Hydrate. Rest. Look at the horizon. Tomorrow we continue.

She’s definitely making the exam unnecessarily difficult 😂

Very confident for someone whose exam paper I haven’t graded yet. 😉

HEATWAVE DIARIES @heatwave-world.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

Different exam? Sir, there is only one subject on the Heatwave curriculum.

HEATWAVE DIARIES @heatwave-world.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

Your final exam in maintaining eye contact. Let me know if you passed so I can start drawing up your official Heatwave Diaries diploma. 🎓 And be honest. There may be a practical exam.

So I went back through five shoots to figure out WHY those accidental seconds sometimes work so damn well. I think there is more going on than luck. New on the Heatwave Diaries 👇 www.thatarnold.com/heatwave/sex... (𝟰/𝟰)

Sexy Is Usually an Accident — That Arnold

Why the sexiest photos are often the unplanned moments between poses, with five stories from real shoots in Ibiza, Tenerife, Valencia and Albufeira.

HEATWAVE DIARIES @heatwave-world.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

Then there is Yami. The pose was planned. The laugh absolutely was not. And that is the thing I keep noticing: sometimes one unplanned second makes a photo feel sexier than the pose we were actually trying to create. (𝟯/𝟰)

HEATWAVE DIARIES @heatwave-world.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

Celina was getting wet for the next photo. Sindry was looking for water. Paulina was losing a fight with a tiny drink bottle. None of those moments were supposed to be “the photo.” And yet… 👀 (𝟮/𝟰)

130

HEATWAVE DIARIES @heatwave-world.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

I have a theory. The sexiest photo from a shoot is very often NOT the one where she is trying hardest to look sexy. Sometimes it is the second before. Or after. Or the moment the pose falls apart. 𝗞𝗘𝗘𝗣 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚 ⬇️🧵 (𝟭/𝟰)

Nothing in Ibiza Ever Goes Quite to Plan — That Arnold

A spontaneous Ibiza photoshoot with Celina and Chiara proves that the best images often happen when the original plan starts falling apart.

HEATWAVE DIARIES @heatwave-world.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

Some photoshoots follow the plan. This one involved Celina, Chiara, a hidden Ibiza pier, zero signal, questionable office wear and a “quick cool-off” that became very photogenic. 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗡 𝗗𝗜𝗗𝗡’𝗧 𝗦𝗨𝗥𝗩𝗜𝗩𝗘 ⬇️🧵 (𝟭/𝟮)

A Longboard, a Top That Was Much Too Short and an XXL Bag of Cheesy Snacks — That Arnold

Behind the scenes of a bikini photoshoot with Sara Carbó in Mareny Blau, featuring a longboard, a tiny crop top and one very unlikely location.

HEATWAVE DIARIES @heatwave-world.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Almost three years later, I went back through the complete shoot with Sara. She never needed much of a plan. Just a blue bikini, a longboard and a willingness to see where the afternoon went. Making this video reminded me how easy and playful she made the whole shoot feel. (𝟮/𝟯)

HEATWAVE DIARIES @heatwave-world.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

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)

So you start doing a little research. Coastal towns, cheap flights, the usual harmless fantasy. Then you stumble upon this photo and suddenly you’re comparing boat prices like someone with no respect for financial stability. This is basically how Heatwave Diaries works. 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]

HEATWAVE DIARIES @heatwave-world.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

This was somewhere in between. White lingerie, old wood, soft Ibiza light, and that very dangerous moment where a shoot starts becoming much better than the plan. There’s a lot more from that morning here: 🔗 www.thatarnold.com/heatwave/chi... With love, Arnold ✌🏼 [𝟮/𝟮]

Chiara Made Sunrise Completely Irrelevant 🫠🌅 — That Arnold

Chiara has that kind of beauty that makes you blink twice just to check your eyes are still working. I picked her up before sunrise in Ibiza Town and she slid into the car with this quiet, soft energy...

HEATWAVE DIARIES @heatwave-world.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

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/

Be honest. Did you even notice the door?

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.

HEATWAVE DIARIES @heatwave-world.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

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.

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?
