You Are What You Do by Daniel Arnold (Loose Joints)

Loose Joints is proud to present You Are What You Do, a monograph by Daniel Arnold — one of New York’s most renowned and obsessive modern street photographers. 

Rooted in a well-trodden lineage of New York street photography, Arnold’s work channels the chaos, chutzpah, humor and vitality that define the city, yet You Are What You Do reveals something more: a tenderness and empathy that courses through every frame. There are genuine moments of sadness and grief mixed with joy, alongside spontaneous, unscripted scenes of pure street cinema, blended with candid images from fashion shoots and film sets, all sitting effortlessly within Arnold’s generous visual language.
