Daniel Arnold's work is deeply human, with a sense of intrigue and humor that breathes fresh air into an age of extreme curation and perfectionism. With a dynamic and versatile voice, he has covered everything from home births to high fashion, from the Met Gala to the 2016 campaign trail and multiple inaugurations. Arnold began his career documenting the streets of New York City with an innate curiosity and a wry smile that quickly gained him a cult following and frequent collaborations with the New York Times and Vogue. In 2022, he was profiled by the New Yorker in conjunction with the release of "Pickpocket," an unconventional monograph compiled by the Safdie Brothers' Elara Press. Per that New Yorker profile, “Walking the streets, in his hoodie and dark mustache, with a camera or two around his neck, [Arnold] himself has become one of the city’s characters, a recognizable N.Y.C. figure.” His odd, enduring photos can be found in art galleries around the world - he can usually be found out wandering.

Central to the idea of Libraryman is to serve as a complementary hand to the artist’s vision; with unobtrusive design and interwoven tactility this collaborative effort ensures that both the artist and the publisher will never sacrifice their carefully crafted identities.
