Both videos were created by Brooklyn-based filmmakers Mika Altskan and Matvey Fiks as they followed Arnold as he explored New York on foot and in the subway over a three-day period. The filmmakers shot the videos for their Creators YouTube channel.

The first video reveals Arnold’s unique approach for capturing spontaneous moments and candid portraits of his unsuspecting subjects and how he manages to gain a fleeting rapport with the strangers he photographs.
