In the modest village of Kaktovik, I worked with two locals who had a boat license to trawl along the land slip. They kNew the topography of the area intimately and I had briefed them on my style which favoured height alignment and close proximity. However, they also work within strict safety laws and are absolutely forbidden to approach or harass the bears. They can stay still and allow the bears to approach them, so long as they are protected by the hull of their little fishing boat.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nI trusted my Inuit guide - he had a weathered and wise countenance and spoke with such familiarity on each bear we saw from our little boat.

I haven’t tended to do them or their habitat justice. This is a “Giants’ Kingdom” and my images from previous trips have been too marginal to do either the giants or their kingdom justice. Luck evens itself out, but nature can seem cruel in its distribution of content and in this barren archipelago, I don’t recall many favours until June 2017.\nThis year, however, I did have some luck and came home with three images. There is no doubt in my mind that this photograph of a big male polar bear lends weight to the contention that wildlife photography does not need to be reportage – it can be art. The photograph is elevated by the negative space and the bear’s anonymity rather than weakened by it. Since 2011, I have spent over 30 days shooting in Svalbard and this is my favourite image of a polar bear in this part of the Arctic – indeed the more I look at it, the more proud I am.

The image pays homage to that variable – it conveys a true sense of place. This is not a natural human habitat – it is in fact our final frontier.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe irony was that it was the very last of a sequence of 60 images I took of the polar bear. A second after this moment, this most solitary of predators was over the horizon and our paths will never cross again. I did not press the trigger with this image in mind – it was such an intense 6 minutes that it would be most disingenuous to suggest that it was preconceived. The heart was beating too fast to consider creating art – these moments sometimes just happen. It was only when I returned to the ship, that I realised I had an extremely evocative photograph.","brand":"David Yarrow","offers":[{"title":"94 x 145 cm (image size) | 132 x 183 cm (framed size)","offer_id":44265105358935,"sku":"DY-PH-78 Degrees North II-94 x 145 cm (image size) | 132 x 183 cm (framed size)-AR-SI-N\/A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"142 x 221 cm (image size) | 180 x 259 cm (framed size)","offer_id":44265105391703,"sku":"DY-PH-78 Degrees North II-142 x 221 cm (image size) | 180 x 259 cm (framed size)-AR-SI-N\/A","price":73700.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/0553\/files\/yarrow_david_001_78_degrees_north_II_180x259_f40f51cf-1439-486b-87a2-9ceb4ea0fa28.jpg?v=1789022641"},{"product_id":"david-yarrow-street-car-named-desire-1","title":"Street Car named Desire 1","description":"Street Car named Desire 1\u003cbr\u003eMontana, USA, 2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \n\nThis model from Dallas has a big future and I have worked with the very best recently.

My overriding goal was to capture a sense of depth and a sense of scale. South Georgia is raw and dramatic with many fiercely steep mountains towering above the wildlife and to exclude them from an image would risk telling only half the story. These mountains define the island.\nThe riddle is that to include the Everest like peaks and also the wildlife on the beaches below risks the image being too loose - there must be detail in the foreground and this necessitates proximity. So I am wanting everything and that can be a challenge in low light. I dwelt over this dilemma for many hours on the way to South Georgia and I was reminded that simple maths often plays a lead role in making an image.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe lens best equipped for the challenge of giving depth as well as foreground detail is my favourite Nikkor 58mm F1.4 lens - it is the most important piece of camera equipment I own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe first day on St Andrews Bay, we landed on the beach at 4.40 am, but this was too late to set up and then capture the soft early morning light.

Poor weather can help or, as in this case, some humor. A good test of any photographer’s commitment in South Georgia is whether they return to the boat smelling of penguin poop.

They were known for their bank robberies although they preferred to rob small stores or rural gas stations. Their exploits captured the attention of the American press and its readership during what is occasionally referred to as the \"public enemy era\" between 1931 and 1934. They are believed to have murdered at least nine police officers and four civilians. They were killed in May1934 during a police ambush.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Bonnie and Clyde - the 1967 American biographical crime film starring Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway as the title characters - was a landmark film and won two Oscars.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It is considered one of the first films of the New Hollywood as it broke many cinematic taboos and for some members of the counterculture, the film was considered to be a \"rallying cry”.  Its success prompted other filmmakers to be more open in presenting sex and violence in their films.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Warren Beatty, who produced the movie, always wanted to make the film in black and white, but Warner Bros rejected the idea. It still made the studio 40 times its investment. My little ode to Warren is very much in black and white. The wolf does him proud and Kate Bock makes for an excellent modern-day Faye Dunaway.

We consider this ice age geological creation to be the best waterfall in the world with which to play with layered narratives. Every time we go back, we have more experience of what does and doesn’t work. It is still a true test for us and failing is very possible. We have often underachieved here and that hurts as this is a spectacular place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e There are two big issues to deal with: firstly, a shoot can only be done before the tourists arrive and that means an early start and a pre-breakfast finish. But for a third of the year, the light before 9 am is suboptimal - so timing and planning is everything. This is not a winter shot unless the roads are tricky and the tourists can’t make it until 10 am.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The far bigger issue is that the closer we are to the waterfall, the more intense the spray. Such is the volume of water that positioning even 200 yards from the bottom of the waterfall is akin to being in a very impressive multi jet shower room. Move in 50 yards and it equates to being in a torrential downpour setting and move 50 yards further in and the camera will not last long. It is, of course, against all my principles to compress distance and that dictates getting close.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I have come to like a position about 125 yards out, but the spray only gives me one second each time to take a shot before the front of the lens is soaked.

An imposing vertical cliff face bullies main street and adds to the sense of ‘a town at the end of the line’. Creede plays to the lore and mythology of the wild west and consequently is awash with tourists during the summer. However, in the mid-winter, the place has an abandoned look to it and this was always going to be the best time to film. It would be a bridge too far to try to close the town down in July.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e We had been throwing around ideas as to where to stage a Bonnie and Clyde story and chose Creede, not just because the high street is little changed from the 1920s, but because the locals, including the sheriff and the council, were fully supportive of our concept.

It’s a mean question, but it certainly focuses the mind and encourages a rough and ready retrospection of where my big images have come from.\u2028I would choose the 35mm and its sister up the road, the 58mm f\/1.4m—the most high-resolution lens in my bag. If allowed a third, it would be the 105mm f\/1.4m. With these three lenses and nothing else, I would be just fine.","brand":"David Yarrow","offers":[{"title":"94 x 160 cm (image size) | 132 x 198 cm (framed size)","offer_id":44265131704407,"sku":"DY-PH-I Am Black Panther-94 x 160 cm (image size) | 132 x 198 cm (framed size)-AR-SI-N\/A","price":44000.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"142 x 244 cm (image size) | 180 x 281 cm (framed size)","offer_id":44265131737175,"sku":"DY-PH-I Am Black Panther-142 x 244 cm (image size) | 180 x 281 cm (framed size)-AR-SI-N\/A","price":51700.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/0553\/files\/yarrow_david_243_i_am_black_panther_132x198_b94b22e1-72ea-42ef-9eda-399bc5527911.jpg?v=1789023459"},{"product_id":"david-yarrow-maradona-black-and-white","title":"Maradona (black and white)","description":"Maradona (black and white)\u003cbr\u003eMexico – 2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e We recently showed this well known photograph at an event in Los Angeles and it received considerable interest and therefore we have decided to release the print as a one sized limited edition.

The snow cover here tends to be less substantial than up towards Big Sky and we needed that snow cover.

If Texas was a country, it would now rank 8th in world Gdp and if Ut was just an athletics institution, it would also rank high in the global performance charts. This is not a normal educational establishment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe flagship of the athletics department is, of course, the Texas Longhorns, whose fan base stretches way beyond the alumni. To be in Austin for a Saturday game day is a bucket list sporting occasion, attracting crowds of over 80,000 people, even if the result is a foregone conclusion long before the tailgating parties start.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMy plan was to take a tableau photograph celebrating this venerable institution, but there was much to plan to ensure my effort as an outsider would not end up being generic or hackneyed. I needed to push a few boundaries in my creative processing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince 1916 a longhorn steer named Bevo has represented The University of Texas as its famed mascot. There have, of course, been a few Bevos over the years, with their orange and white colouring emblematic of the institution. There is no more revered live mascot in global sport and I recognised that without Bevo, any picture celebrating the Longhorns would be very lame.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI want to thank Ben Barnes - the former Lieutenant Governor of Texas - for helping facilitate this shoot. My idea was to photograph Bevo in front of the Ut tower which is the storied epicentre of the campus and Ben, who bizarrely knew my late father in the Uk, made the necessary calls.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grass lawn between 21st street and the Tower suited the steer, but my leaning was always to add both dynamism and symbolism by using the same smoke effects that accompany Bevo when he triumphantly enters the Darrell K Royal Memorial Stadium on game day.

If Texas was a country, it would now rank 8th in world Gdp and if Ut was just an athletics institution, it would also rank high in the global performance charts. This is not a normal educational establishment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe flagship of the athletics department is, of course, the Texas Longhorns, whose fan base stretches way beyond the alumni. To be in Austin for a Saturday game day is a bucket list sporting occasion, attracting crowds of over 80,000 people, even if the result is a foregone conclusion long before the tailgating parties start.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMy plan was to take a tableau photograph celebrating this venerable institution, but there was much to plan to ensure my effort as an outsider would not end up being generic or hackneyed. I needed to push a few boundaries in my creative processing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince 1916 a longhorn steer named Bevo has represented The University of Texas as its famed mascot. There have, of course, been a few Bevos over the years, with their orange and white colouring emblematic of the institution. There is no more revered live mascot in global sport and I recognised that without Bevo, any picture celebrating the Longhorns would be very lame.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI want to thank Ben Barnes - the former Lieutenant Governor of Texas - for helping facilitate this shoot. My idea was to photograph Bevo in front of the Ut tower which is the storied epicentre of the campus and Ben, who bizarrely knew my late father in the Uk, made the necessary calls.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grass lawn between 21st street and the Tower suited the steer, but my leaning was always to add both dynamism and symbolism by using the same smoke effects that accompany Bevo when he triumphantly enters the Darrell K Royal Memorial Stadium on game day.

It is the most primeval of all animals and the bigger it comes, the more it elicits a sense of dropping into a Spielberg movie.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis photograph of a four-meter-long male crocodile is elevated by the lighting conditions at dusk. Three hours before, it was all too bright and any photographs would be less dramatic.  He is believed to be over 110 years old and weighs more than 750 kgs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI am not good with crocs and I do tend to suffer from camera shake more than when filming any other animal.  I have a steady hand, but not so much in encounters such as this. The other problem I have, is that when the camera is head on to a subject, there is always a decision to be taken as to whether to focus on the mouth or the eyes. It’s a dilemma for me because my default position is to have the eyes in focus and make sure that the nearest feature to the camera is not so out of the focal plane as to create a tension point. In most cases, however, that is not an issue and the face is all in focus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But with an adult crocodile, the filmmaker must make a choice, as the distance from the nose and teeth to the eyes is material. I don’t think there is a choice; the focus should be on the nose and this photograph offers some big clues as to why.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I could not have taken this image 20 years ago. Cameras and lenses work so much better in low light than they used to and I was pushing my camera to the edge of its capability. I was also pushing myself to the edge of mine.","brand":"David Yarrow","offers":[{"title":"94 x 125 cm (image size) | 132 x 163 cm (framed size)","offer_id":44265208381527,"sku":"DY-PH-Jurassic Park-94 x 125 cm (image size) | 132 x 163 cm (framed size)-AR-SI-N\/A","price":22000.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"142 x 188 cm (image size) | 180 x 226 cm (framed size)","offer_id":44265208414295,"sku":"DY-PH-Jurassic Park-142 x 188 cm (image size) | 180 x 226 cm (framed size)-AR-SI-N\/A","price":29700.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/0553\/files\/yarrow_david_471_jurassic_park_132x163_dbfe51e8-362b-4aac-bddc-858487eb5ade.jpg?v=1789024296"},{"product_id":"david-yarrow-o-captain-my-captain","title":"O Captain!

Sometimes I don’t even press the shutter and then the times that I do shoot, there is normally something that kills the image. But that is part of the deal: we are gambling. It’s a bit like a Hail Mary pass in American Football, so many fortunate things must align for there to be a good outcome.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe biggest issue, assuming the lion jumps over the water (which is not a given), is precise focus. I used to use remote controls in this set up, but the camera is only so smart and I prefer to be operating the camera. So now I work from a strategically positioned heavy cage with a wide-angle lens and hope that the lion jumps towards me. When any moving object is this close to the lens, the greater the need for a very fast shutter speed. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis photograph makes up for my countless failures. It is a credit to Kevin Richardson’s skills at his sanctuary in South Africa - he is not known as The Lion Whisperer for no reason. We have worked together for over 14 years now and the monies raised from our partnership have gone a long way to securing the long-term future of his lauded sanctuary. Kevin knows more about lions and lion behaviour than anyone and I totally recognise that he brings more to the party than I do. To watch him at work is quite extraordinary and it an honour to be given such access.","brand":"David Yarrow","offers":[{"title":"94 x 104 cm (image size) | 132 x 142 cm (framed size)","offer_id":44265211101271,"sku":"DY-PH-O Captain!

On a clear sunny day, it would have been a decent image, but it is the falling snow and the flat light that deliver the needed mood and the sense of place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I have been deliberating about photographing a Siberian tiger in the habitat that defines it for several years, but North China - where I took this image – had, until recently, been out of bounds for foreigners since Covid. Even now, it is not the most welcoming of places. It’s a long way from home, English tongues are rare and, in the winter, it can offer indecently low temperatures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I recognised that I would need to allocate a good amount of time in the north to wait for the snowfall. Siberian winters are extremely cold, but it does not snow that often. There are many hours spent killing time in a hotel room but the accommodation is much more comfortable than it used to be. It is such a long way from home and there is little merit planning for a three-day visit anyway. It’s an odd job sometimes: I probably invested about 120 hours, including travel time, for two six second windows of opportunity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e On this trip I worked closely with the Chinese authorities and, in retrospect, this brief encounter was only possible because of the help of two or three extremely influential Chinese people. I am reminded that access is a key word in photography and this is normally achieved by investing in people. My charm offensive with my Chinese contacts was several months long. My team knows who they are and their stature within China, but no one else needs to know.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The question that I will be asked about this picture will simply be “how on earth did you get it?”. My answer would be two-fold. I was in a bespoke vehicle with a lower window opening, smaller than a tiger’s head, but larger than a camera lens. The second part of the answer is more important: it was by showing China and the Chinese some respect. Without that there was no chance. I know some people will criticise me for working with a country with a questionable record in conservation, but life is too short and I am an artist first and foremost.","brand":"David Yarrow","offers":[{"title":"94 x 140 cm (image size) | 132 x 178 cm (framed size)","offer_id":44265213853783,"sku":"DY-PH-Snowcat-94 x 140 cm (image size) | 132 x 178 cm (framed size)-AR-SI-N\/A","price":33000.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"142 x 211 cm (image size) | 180 x 249 cm (framed size)","offer_id":44265213886551,"sku":"DY-PH-Snowcat-142 x 211 cm (image size) | 180 x 249 cm (framed size)-AR-SI-N\/A","price":40700.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/0553\/files\/yarrow_david_433_Snowcat_132x178_8570069b-e52b-431e-8e05-6587c852bbd3.jpg?v=1789024357"}],"url":"https:\/\/petragut.com\/collections\/david-yarrow-st-moritz-2026-priclist-chf-with-8-1-vat.oembed?page=2","provider":"Petra Gut Contemporary AG","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
