About

Welcome to my world of visual storytelling. I'm Arinze Areh, an Edmonton based documentary photographer driven by a passion for capturing the essence of life with a blend of documentary storytelling, intimate portraits, and a keen eye for the unexpected.

My work is fueled by a deep curiosity, drawing inspiration from life's simple and intriguing aspects, and things that others may sometimes overlook. Through my lens, I aim to showcase the profound essence of the subjects I photograph and therefore approach my craft with a gentle and engaging demeanour that enables a relaxed environment for myself and those around me.

I like to think that my work evokes a sense of familiarity, nostalgia and introspection. At the heart of memorable photography lies a reaction, genuine connection and curiosity about the story, person or moment photographed. With this in mind, I invest time in understanding the vision and values of the projects I work on. Ultimately, my goal is to create a body of work that resonates, evokes emotion, and celebrates the richness of our shared human experience.
