Arena-Studios NYC provides professional, editorial-style photography rooted in a journalistic approach. Our services include hospitality and travel photography, brand and lifestyle imagery, food and culinary photography, interiors, and environmental portraiture.

Arena-Studios NYC was founded by Brittany Arena and Timothy Mulcare. Brittany brings a background in marketing, communications, creative media, and marketing strategy, while Timothy is an award-winning professional photographer with a strong editorial and fine-art sensibility. Together, they combine visual storytelling with thoughtful strategy, approaching each project with the mindset of journalists and artists rather than influencers.

Arena-Studios NYC stands apart through a deeply journalistic and fine-art approach to photography. Rather than staging moments, we observe and document real life, real people, and real traditions. Our work prioritizes authenticity, cultural context, and emotional depth, resulting in imagery that feels lived-in, meaningful, and enduring. We don’t chase trends, we create visual stories that stand the test of time.

Yes. Arena-Studios NYC specializes in hospitality and travel photography with a strong focus on local culture, heritage, and sense of place. We document destinations the way a storyteller would, highlighting regional traditions, architecture, cuisine, and human connection, allowing properties and brands to be represented honestly and artfully, rather than through overly staged imagery.

Absolutely. In addition to hospitality and travel, we work with lifestyle brands, creative businesses, and editorial clients seeking elevated, fine-art imagery. Our journalistic approach translates across industries, making our work especially well-suited for brands that value authenticity, craftsmanship, and meaningful storytelling.

Our photography is created with a fine-art mindset, focusing on composition, light, texture, and emotional resonance. Each image is treated as a standalone piece while also contributing to a larger narrative. This approach results in photographs that feel timeless and gallery-worthy, suitable for both commercial use and long-term brand storytelling.
