In his debut monograph, Heavenly Arms, Reuben Radding (@reuben_radding) presents a body of work of street photographs captured for over ten years. Featuring sixty-three black-and-white images from different times, years and locations, the book presents “a meditation on human interconnectedness, conflict, and the musicality of American life.”

In this interview, Sara Bennet (@sarabennettbrooklyn) speaks to the artist about the creation of this project, discussing topics of editing, sequencing, and curating a cohesive book from a diverse and dynamic personal photographic archive.

The artist shares: “A daily practice has always been important to me. It was central to my life as a musician too. One reason I gravitated toward street photography is that it’s always available.”

“Heavenly Arms” received a 2nd Place Prize in Book Category at the 2025 International Photography Awards, and is available for order at Red Hook Editions (@redhookeditions)

Dave will be in conversation with photographer Reuben Radding (@reuben_radding), whose debut photobook Heavenly Arms (Red Hook Editions, 2024) collects ten years of work from New York City and beyond.

Free and open to all. No book purchase necessary, and it’s fine to come even if you already have a copy. taken in Unnameable Books by @reuben_radding

The city is alive. Feels like old times and new vibes to haunt you the rest of your life. The forest renews itself through a cycle of self-fertilization. What you love well, with your pounding heart, will fuel your growth. Why hold anything back? We’re here for such a short time, after all. by @reuben_radding

IG suggested I add “Sweet Home Alabama” to this post. Perhaps it was because corporations hate you. Perhaps it was some other inexplicable reason. I think you can imagine your own music. I think it’s already in a picture. by @reuben_radding
