Kurt Arnold Biography

Kurt Arnold, born in Grenada, West Indies and raised in Brooklyn, New York started taking photographs at the age of 10.  The streets of New York City honed his craft as he developed a fascination for capturing distinctive facial expressions, thoughts, emotions, body language and movement through candid street photography.  Kurt’s passion for capturing the natural essence of people remains the focal-point of his commercial work in portraiture, events and live performance photography.

“The Spirit of New York” was Kurt’s first solo exhibition, which showcases his street photography collection called “Snipe Shots”- poetic images stemming from reality and scenes realized through capturing the natural state of people as if performed by actors on the big stage, the city.  It was first presented in 2009 by Blender Gallery in Sydney, Australia and has travelled through the US Embassy and Poliform showrooms.

Kurt’s work has been featured in numerous publications including:

• The New York Times
• Vogue
• Whitewall
• Interior Design Magazine
