That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Ursula brought a white shirt, a white bra and white panties to our Ibiza shoot. By the end, only one was still involved. And I somehow forgot to edit her photos for FIFTEEN MONTHS. My defence? I don’t have one. Look at her. 🤦🏻♂️ 1345
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Pool games, twerking breaks and a sunrise alarm that made me deeply unpopular. Maybe this Dénia trip deserves a proper Archival Revisit on Patreon. Dig out the photos, the videos and explain how I occasionally got some work done. Who wants a closer look? 😏 0232
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Everyone needs a friend who’ll crouch down by the pool to photograph their ass. Chey and Sky take that responsibility seriously. 🍑📸 I was there with a proper camera, but clearly some angles required a second opinion. 2735
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 09/10/2026You and hundreds of others spent days voting on my Instagram Stories. Two photos at a time. One stayed, one went. You kept choosing Mel until her photo won the whole run. Apparently, letting her go wasn’t an option. 😂 Meet HALL OF HEAT #003. 🔥 2393
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Celina brought the Brazil bikini. The dog invited himself. He stayed for twenty minutes, which is honestly a very reasonable response to finding yourself beside Celina. 😂 Photos and story now 🔓 𝗨𝗡𝗟𝗢𝗖𝗞𝗘𝗗 in the Heatwave Diaries. Open to everyone. 1293
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Rosangelina asked for a few more photos in the garden. Her bikini top apparently thought we’d taken enough. 👀🌿 Photos and story now 🔓 UNLOCKED in the Heatwave Diaries. Open to everyone. 1364
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 03/10/2026A meditation on the fleeting sweetness of summer and our desperate need to hold on to it… or just a pair of exceptional boobs with orange juice dripping between them? 🍊 Since starting Heatwave Diaries, even an innocent orange isn’t safe from my attempts at philosophy. 2233
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Mel barely had time to celebrate before Chiara showed up in white lace. 😏 The next KEEP ONE vote is live. Pick the photo you’d keep in my Instagram Stories 👇 www.instagram.com/that.arnold/ 0214
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 02/10/2026And somehow, that wasn't even close to being the strangest part of that afternoon. I finally went back and wrote the whole story as an Archival Revisit for 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘄𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀. Probably for the best the bathtub was indoors. 🤣 www.patreon.com/posts/170144... 0182
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Then I caught one of them peeping through one of the little holes in the fence. My first thought probably should've been: stop looking. Instead my photographer brain went: "𝗪𝗮𝗶𝘁… 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘁𝘆 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲." 😂 1262
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 02/10/2026There were some British guys staying in the Airbnb next door. Then Eva walked onto our patio in white lingerie with a glass of cava. And suddenly they became a little more interested in what was happening on our side. 😂 𝗘𝘃𝗮, 𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗵𝘂𝗲𝗹𝗮, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯. 1295
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Perfectly normal start to a sunrise shoot in Ibiza. 😇 I went to photograph Pilar. By breakfast, I had a story that took me 1,500 words to tell. The story and photos are on Patreon: www.patreon.com/thatarnold/p... 1232
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Pilar and I had tried to shoot an Ibiza sunrise at least three times. The sun showed up every time. Pilar was less consistent. 😅 So at 6:18 I sent a “good morning” that really meant: 𝗣𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗘 𝗕𝗘 𝗔𝗪𝗔𝗞𝗘. This time she made it. The morning went off script. 1252
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 01/10/2026You saved Tania in red. Now I’ve put her up against Mel in lime green. Sorry, Tania. 😏 Only one photo survives. Vote in my Stories 👇 www.instagram.com/stories/that... 0203
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Yami, Tenerife. A week in a rented villa and a few very good reasons to bring my camera. A little something from the Heatwave Diaries archives. More photos and stories here. 👀 thatarnold.com/heatwave 0191

That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I chose the rocks. Yami chose to leave her bikini top at the Airbnb villa we’d rented for the week. I’ll take responsibility for the questionable climbing conditions. The packing decisions were all hers. 👀 2385
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 29/09/2026How well do you think my first shoot with Sindry went? 🫠 1415
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Here’s the decision screen. Three hours left to cast the vote that actually decides who survives 👇 www.instagram.com/stories/that... 0131
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Dani in pink. Tania in red. I need to send one of these photos home, and I’m putting that decision in your hands. Dangerous, I know. 😏 Which one are you keeping? Tell me Dani or Tania in the replies, and make your case. 3343
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 28/09/2026At first, Sara kept pulling it back down. Eventually, she accepted that the top had its own plans and carried on posing. A closed inmobiliaria, my cooler, an XXL bag of cheesy snacks and Sara’s increasingly uncovered nipples somehow became one of my favourite looks of the day. 1161
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I cut this top so short that eventually it stopped pretending to be a top. 👀 Every time Sara moved, it crept a little higher. 𝗟𝗘𝗧 𝗠𝗘 𝗧𝗘𝗟𝗟 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗘 ⬇️ 🧵 2363
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 26/09/2026The photo exists because a wave soaked an outfit I wasn’t entirely convinced by and suddenly made it approximately ten times better. It later survived me dropping an external hard drive and losing every photo from the shoot that I hadn’t edited yet. Excellent teamwork all around. 1231
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 26/09/2026You voted for this photo of Maya three times. 58% against Pilar. 61% against Carole. 63% against Cheyenne. Apparently, the more you saw that wet beige shirt flying, the more convincing it became. 😂 Maya is officially HALL OF HEAT #002. 🔥 2313
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 26/09/2026In this specific example, the prop might have worked a little too well. 🍌 1181
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Props are an easy way to make a pose feel less posed. Give your model something simple to interact with and let the moment happen. 2304
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 25/09/2026This was our first evening in Les Rotes, Dénia. We camped for a few days at Camping Los Pinos, basically right on the rocks. And Les Rotes gives you both sunrise AND sunset. Dangerous information to give a photographer. 😏 1141
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Romantic getaway according to me: tent, sea, sunset… and making Wendy take photos of me every five minutes because “𝗟𝗢𝗢𝗞 𝗔𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧.” 😂 11302
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Making the Hall of Heat unlocks a full Patreon feature about the winning photo: the story behind the shoot, extra photos from that day and, where possible, video. Every Hall of Heat post is free. No paid membership needed. Carla’s cover even became an actual poster. 😂 1152
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I’ve quietly turned my Instagram Stories into a survival tournament for my photos. Two photos enter. You KEEP ONE. The winner returns against a new challenger. Three wins earns a place in the HALL OF HEAT. Very serious photography business. 😂 1245
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Somehow the failed sunrise ended up giving the photos exactly the right mood. Dark sea. Direct flash. Grain. Tiny shiny bikini. Then less bikini. 😂 I wrote more about the morning on Heatwave Diaries: 🔗 www.thatarnold.com/heatwave/ket... 0301
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Then she started playing with it. Pulling the straps. Moving it around. Making it do a lot more work than three tiny pieces of fabric probably should. 👀 And eventually… the top came off. 1221
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 21/09/2026We’d been trying to make this shoot happen for more than two years. When it finally did, Ibiza gave us rain, clouds and basically no sunrise at all. 😂 Luckily, Ketty showed up with the tiniest and shiniest bikini imaginable. 1485
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Technically speaking, the viewer’s attention was successfully directed. Very successfully. 😂 0322
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 20/09/2026One of the easiest ways to make a night portrait pop: expose for the subject, let everything behind her go darker, and keep the attention up front. 1255
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Or you and your mate both being absolutely convinced that cute girl in the tiny bikini was looking at you. 😂 I turned the idea behind the latest Heatwave Diaries story into a little video. 1201
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Maybe luxury was never the five star hotel. Maybe it was plastic chairs, hot pavement, a cold drink, an old car full of beach shit… and absolutely no reason to hurry anywhere. 1284
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 16/09/2026KEEP ONE is basically how we’re building a Hall of Fame for my photos. Two photos compete, the winner comes back against a new challenger, and after three wins in a row it enters the official That Arnold Hall of Fame. 1191
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 16/09/2026What the fuck is happening 😂 96 people have voted and it’s still exactly 50/50. I need a winner and there’s less than an hour left. Go vote. It takes literally three seconds: www.instagram.com/stories/that... 1152
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 16/09/2026This escalated pretty quickly for 7 in the morning. 😂 First shoot with Mariarosa in Ibiza and she understood the assignment VERY quickly. 👀 1353
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I’m starting to think the secret to good photography is just giving Mica random objects and seeing what happens. 1301
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 15/09/2026The creative budget for this Ibiza shoot: Beach chair: €12 ✅ Lidl sunscreen: €6.99 ✅ Decathlon swimming goggles: €2.49 ✅ Mica: priceless ✅ One of these was doing significantly more work than the others. 🤭 1465
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I'll be reading what you guys think in the comments 😉 0374
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Proof that a ukulele can be both an instrument and a very strategic accessory. 1474
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 08/09/2026One of those shoots where the location was basically just a rock wall… and somehow that was more than enough. Cheyenne doing most of the heavy lifting here, obviously. 😉✌🏼 1505
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Beach chair doing some very serious supporting work here. Yami understood the assignment. 😉✌🏼 0487
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 07/09/2026I joke about it constantly, but I genuinely don’t take any of this for granted. I somehow built a life around travelling, photography, beautiful people and mornings like this. And a big part of why I can keep doing it is because people actually support the work afterwards. 2173
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 07/09/2026This morning with Sabrina and Chiara in Ibiza is a perfect example. Beautiful place. Beautiful light. Two incredible women. Lots of laughing, a few bikinis and me wandering around in swim shorts trying to make nice photographs. There are worse ways to spend a Wednesday morning. 😂 152
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Sometimes I still think… how did this become my life? I wake up ridiculously early, drive somewhere beautiful, wait for good light and spend the morning pointing a camera at some of the most gorgeous women in the world. Do kids in primary school dream of this job? I didn’t even know it existed. 2376
That Arnold @thatarnold.bsky.social · 05/09/2026So I’m bringing the camera roll back to life 📷 If you want the more personal, photography-first side of what I do, you can find it here: www.instagram.com/arnoldscamer... (𝟮/𝟮) 0191
