Meet the Founders.
Brittany Arena and Timothy Mulcare are the founders of Arena Studios NYC, a New York–based creative studio working at the intersection of photography, creative direction, and brand strategy.
Brittany brings over 15 years of experience in marketing and visual branding, having worked with leading real estate and lifestyle companies including Sotheby's International Realty and Douglas Elliman. Her background informs a highly intentional approach to each project, ensuring all work aligns with a brand's identity, positioning, and long-term use.
Timothy is a Pratt Institute–trained, award-winning photographer with a strong foundation in photojournalism. His work is defined by a quiet, observational approach, allowing spaces and moments to be documented with a high level of discretion. For over a decade, his images have been featured in publications including The New York Times, Architectural Digest, and Travel + Leisure, and have received industry recognition for their distinctive editorial perspective.
Together, they bring a shared perspective to their work, combining a journalistic and commercial approach to image-making with a deep understanding of brand strategy. Their process is rooted in observation, intention, and respect for the environments they document.
Our Vision
We approach our work with the intention of creating imagery that feels more like art than content — shaped by observation, environment, and a clear point of view.
We work selectively, focusing on producing images that carry a sense of depth and meaning. In doing so, we aim to create work that not only reflects a brand, but reinforces a sense of trust through what is real and genuinely experienced.
Our work exists at the intersection of photography and brand identity, creating imagery that is both visually considered and strategically aligned.
