Daniel Arnold is a street and fashion photographer based in New York City.

Work
Arnold initially distributed his work on Instagram and gained visibility through a viral 2012 Gawker article, in which he was described as "the best photographer on Instagram". Arnold was banned from the service but later returned with a new account, accruing over 60,000 followers by 2014. That same year, Arnold was referred to as "the William Eggleston of Instagram" and "Instagram's ultimate street photographer" in The New York Times and Wired, respectively. Additionally, Arnold was given control of The New Yorker's Instagram account for one week, during which he documented activity on New York City subways. In 2017, his work was featured in the documentary Daniel Arnold's New York, as well as in Vogue, which featured his photographic examinations of life in the Midwest. The following year, he covered the Women's March for Vogue.

Arnold has published two print collections of his work: Locals (2013), with photographs of New York commuters; and Pickpocket (2021), with an afterword by filmmaker Josh Safdie.
