The nuanced street photography of Instagram star Daniel Arnold

On Sunday, Dalston’s Gillett Square was overrun with very excitable teenagers falling over one another for the chance to meet “YouTuber” Latoya Forever. Many commented on the strangeness of seeing people totally lose their shit Beatlemania style about someone famous simply for being on the internet. But YouTube, Twitter, Instagram and the like are indeed worthy platforms for talent, as image makers like the photographer Daniel Arnold prove. Our very own art director Jamie McIntyre describes himself as a big time Daniel “Instagram fanboy” and even the most cursory glance at the photographer’s site shows why. Daniel’s street photography may not be revolutionary in subject matter, but it’s so incredibly well done that it manages to stop you in your tracks and see almost through his eyes, such is the immediacy of the shots. Street photography may be ten a penny, but a photographer with such a knack for spotting that perfect shot and capturing it so well is a rarity. Daniel, you deserve every single one of those 108,000 followers.
