Arvin Temkar

I am a staff photojournalist for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, where I focus on news and politics. My personal work often examines complexity, tension and hope in a multiracial, multiethnic America. Before I became a photographer I was a newspaper reporter and magazine editor.

My photography and/or writing has appeared in in The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, TIME, BuzzFeed, NPR, NBC, The Associated Press, BuzzFeed, Boston Globe magazine, Time, USA Today, Forbes, Food & Wine, Quartz, and other publications.

As a freelancer, my corporate clients have included CNN, the World Bank, the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, and the University of San Francisco.

I have a BA in communication from Boston College, an MS in magazine writing from Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism, and an MFA in creative writing from the University of San Francisco.

I am on the board of the Atlanta Photojournalism Seminar and the Asian American Journalists Association Atlanta chapter.
