Arnie's passion for photography began when he was a teenager. While still in middle school he won first place in the Queensborough Public Library photo contest. He rarely has been seen without a camera since. In 1984 he became the first staff photographer for the New York office of Crain Communications. There he helped turn Advertising Age from a staid publication into a vibrant magazine. He was the original staff photographer for Crain's New York Business where his images are still seen regularly. Arnie left Crain's in 1988, wanting to shoot for a more diverse client list and has built a successful photography business with a broad, rich variety of corporate, editorial and private clients.
