Available to hire
I’m Sean Arena, a photographer, writer and video production consultant based in New York City. Over the past ~20 years I’ve worked in film, TV and media with clients including People Inc, Time Inc, NBCUniversal and Cablevision.
I fell in love with still photography and work across landscape, travel, street, portrait, food, events, and editorial. I shoot digital, 35mm, instant and medium format because the format matters less than the content. My work spans across projects and publications, and I’ve served as production manager and curator for Images of Trans Humanity. My photos have been published by Photodom NYC, VSCO, See.Me and InStyle.
