About

Arvids is a multi disciplinary visual creative having worked through various digital media from web design to graphic design from new media installations to typography to motion design and VFX, but for more than a decade videography has been his main occupation. He creates promotional videos for various industries and brands, shoots documentaries and an odd TV show. Rest of the time he pursues personal creative projects, mainly running his motorcycle adventure YouTube channel.

Photography has been a hobby of his ever since he got a film camera more than 20 years ago. Passion about nature, travel and adventures is what shapes his body of work. Finding ever new paths and experimenting with existing ones is what drives him forward. In his portfolio you’ll find everything from big aerial landscapes to long exposure night photography to experiments with form and light. Outdoor adventures are an important ingredient of his lifestyle and are the vehicles for his work. He believes that in order to capture nature, one has to experience it first hand.
