The name's Ariel—yes, yep it really is—and this mugshot right here belongs to me . . . 

I make my life with my little family down here in East London, UK. That's the biggest thing that makes me what I am, as a man and a photographer: being a father. It's humbling and awesome and it throws a whole new perspective at you. The responsibility of nurturing little humans is immense and full on, but so beautiful and a giant privilege. It's the power of being in life for my kids.

It’s that spirit I bring to my photography: it’s not about me. It’s not about making my mark. It’s about using my vision to capture the present moment so it can live again, for you.

You know, I like to think, to understand things, to find different ways of seeing. That's what draws me to photography. Exploring point-of-view, perspective, angle, documenting the things I see inside the frame. That's me.
