Behind the photographs

A background in visual storytelling.

Arkutha’s photography is grounded in U.S. Navy service, Bay Area newspaper photojournalism and sports coverage. That experience shapes an approach focused on timing, context and the people behind the story - from game action to the quieter moments around it.
