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. After two hours of trawling the land strip one evening, the big moment arrived and on reflection I did the very best I could do given the special scene that unfolded in front of me.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThis image was run in the British press a few days after my encounter on Barter Island. It is something of a platitude to say that the bigger an image is printed, the greater the detail, but on this occasion it is very pertinent for two reasons.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nFirstly, a polar bear is a huge animal. If possible, any portrait should reflect this.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nSecondly, the bear is pin sharp around its eyes. I think that I must have been as close to a polar bear as is possible in the wild and lived to tell the tale. I was also using Nikon’s flagship 58m lens, which captures every hair at the assigned focal point. When the first large print of the image came off the drum in La, one of the team turned to me and said, ‘David, look at the eyes – you are in them!’. He was right; I had inadvertently taken a selfie through the eyes of a polar bear.","brand":"David Yarrow","offers":[{"title":"94 x 152 cm (image size) | 132 x 191 cm (framed size)","offer_id":44079197028439,"sku":"DY-PH-Hello-94 x 152 cm (image size) | 132 x 191 cm (framed size)-AR-SI-N\/A","price":36300.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"142 x 231 cm (image size) | 180 x 269 cm (framed size)","offer_id":44079197061207,"sku":"DY-PH-Hello-142 x 231 cm (image size) | 180 x 269 cm (framed size)-AR-SI-N\/A","price":44000.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/0553\/files\/yarrow_david_008__20hello_132x191_99b6dba4-1816-4556-b7f6-fe823e99a845.jpg?v=1785191885"},{"product_id":"david-yarrow-the-morning-show","title":"The Morning Show","description":"The Morning Show\u003cbr\u003e Kenya – 2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A glimpse of a moment caught on my remotely controlled camera.

The photograph is elevated rather than weakened by the negative space and the bear’s anonymity. Since 2011, I have spent more than 30 days shooting in Svalbard, and this is my favorite image of a polar bear in this part of the Arctic. Indeed, the more I look at it, the prouder I am. As my fellow Scottish photographer and friend the great Harry Benson once said, “Great images can never be repeated.” Others will decide if this is a great image, but it certainly won’t be repeated. The distinctive pads on the sole of his foot immediately grab the eye. The central pad, which resembles the Nike “swoosh,” is the epicenter of a photograph that owes its differentiating content entirely to this right foot. The image is made complete by its own lack of completeness; the storytelling is started by the camera and finished by the viewer. We are asked to finish the story, not just read it, and the spartan economy of the narrative helps along the way. Less is more in the Arctic. Its beauty is in its simplicity and the enormity of the white detail. It conveys a true sense of place. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"David Yarrow","offers":[{"title":"94 x 145 cm (image size) | 132 x 183 cm (framed size)","offer_id":44079202041943,"sku":"DY-PH-78 Degrees North (colour)-94 x 145 cm (image size) | 132 x 183 cm (framed size)-AR-SI-N\/A","price":66000.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"142 x 221 cm (image size) | 180 x 259 cm (framed size)","offer_id":44079202074711,"sku":"DY-PH-78 Degrees North (colour)-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_445__2078_degrees_North_Colour_132x183_eaeaa144-b0ef-4780-b542-3b1cffa73d92.jpg?v=1785192121"},{"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. By 5.20 am, on a clear summer day the light is already too harsh and the King Penguins are lit up like Christmas trees. It is too much. So the following day, the whole team was on the beach by 3.50 am - quite an achievement and one we are all retrospectively proud of.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nI had my moment in the corner of the beach at about 4.40 am. I kNew that’s where the big groups of penguins marched for their morning fish and the light - whilst low - was just strong enough to give the penguins a little “ping” without being too visually loud or harsh.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nI chose a D5 camera simply because I thought the more shots per second, the more the chance of the penguin pattern cooperating in the one shot - I know to my cost that armies of penguins can be messy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is not often that your day is complete before 4.45 am, but this was the day.

We calculated that in total we had spent 35 hours in a jeep looking for tigers and in that time, we were with tigers on our own for about 30 minutes. That equates to being employed for about 1.5% of the time and places this assignment right at the low end of what we do, along with polar bears in Svalbard. It is also consistent with my previous trips to Ranthambore, which have all been in the 1-2% range. To offer some context, elephants in Amboseli would be about 40% of available time and lions in the Serengeti about 10%.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nTigers are therefore a big ask in terms of patience and resolve. It is very hot in May and the roads are not made for comfort. These are long days and the drinking water becomes warm by noon - even in a cooler. The upside is that when the encounters happen, they can be spellbinding. The tiger is the stuff of fantasy and fable and it is no surprise that they are many people’s favourite animal. The stripes of a tiger speak to us on many levels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis mother of three, is well known to the guides and because tigers feel the heat just as much as we do, watering holes in the middle of the day offered the best chance of meeting her in her territory. There is a great amount of luck involved in this approach as I need to be low as well as safe and many watering holes do not allow for this. I needed the right waterhole and to be there at the right time. She also needed to face me - and that in itself was against the odds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nOn this occasion, I was able to get very low and she confronted me head on.

There was no depth of field available that day, and the vast majority of the images were cluttered and messy—except, thankfully, this one.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe penguins look like a cohesive unit, and there is a touch of menace to their swagger.

South Georgia is a long way from the South Side of Chicago, but this photograph brings them closer in my visual imagination.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThere is a slight paradox with penguins in that while they live at the bottom of the world, they are a little overphotographed. Furthermore, they are not alpha animals, and to the human eye they lack individuality. The search\nis always to find content that is authentic and fresh, which is a challenge. 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.

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. To a man, the town folk of Creede were committed to helping us bring the project to fruition. For two days, our crew and extras seemingly doubled the winter population of Creede and the one restaurant in town was at capacity most of the time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Fine tuning the composition was a challenge as ideally, I wanted Bonnie - played by Cara Delevingne - to be as big a part of the image as possible, but I also needed the buildings on both sides of the street to frame the narrative in the middle. Working with wide angle lenses risks making a loose image and I was determined not to fall into that trap. We had not dragged everyone up to this cold final frontier outpost to create a mundane image.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e My goal was to create one single vignette to emphatically celebrate the heavily mythologised story of Bonnie and Clyde.

There has never been an easier direct to an actor in film history as this is after all his default position.

It envelopes the whole community and the community is better for it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e These thoughts were not far from my mind when I invited a goat and some farmers into the shoot at the famous Renaissance Bar at Badrutt’s Palace.

After all, she is an integral part of St Moritz’s history.

On that basis, it must be a special place and indeed it is. Nestling in the rocks and sea pools in front of the Faraglioni sea stacks, it casts an immediate visual spell on any visitor. If the protagonists in Game of Thrones had a favoured place to eat, it would be located here.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI had not been to La Fontelina before 2024 because I had never been to Capri, but on my first visual exposure to the venue, I recognised that it was aesthetically without equal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDoing a photo shoot here requires many skills in addition to those employed when operating a camera. Most crucially, I needed to win the support of the owners Gaetano and Mario Gargiulo. Their generational success story meant that they needed neither a cash backhander nor some lame pictures for their Instagram account. Every day throughout the European summer they run and own one of the hottest tickets and they rightly focus on the constancy of excellence in their service rather than catering to film makers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI met Gaetona first as a customer and then it became my sole purpose in life to win him over and let me shoot a Dy typical tableaux at his most beautiful club. Capri is to Neapolitans what the Hamptons is to New Yorkers and I hoped I had one trick - my image of Diego Maradona from Mexico 1986 - up my sleeve.  Maradona is adored in Naples for bringing the local club the league title in 1987 and I figured that a gift or two of my well-known images could help my cause. I was right - and yet again I owe Diego.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd so it was, early one morning this summer, I assembled a cast in La Fontelina. I knew the deck chair formations and the movement of the sun long before that day, as this was not a shoot to make mistakes on. I had sensed some empty space in front of the southerly stack and worked with local fisherman to sort that out, but I was also conscious of the need to fully showcase the famous parasols without blocking any of the leads. The scene was choreographed for those with familiarity, and I was conscious of the need to elicit rich memories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn my mind a photographic tableau is all about the space between the people and the props and La Fontelina certainly gives you every chance.

It is such a long way from home and there is little merit planning for a three-day visit anyway.

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 had that one glimpse and took it. It’s luck, but having said that, I won’t take it back.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I want to thank the senior park rangers in Kalimantan who granted me permits and guided me up river to a particular bend where they knew there tended to be several orangutans.

Shit happened here.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    But there is also an untamed regality to the region that has long drawn filmmakers and, of course, this goes full circle, as this remote part of the world has long been associated with the Fleming family and particularly Ian Fleming - the creator of James Bond.

Thirdly, there would be no shortage of skilled cowboys in the area who could navigate their way through the horse part of the story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur pilot - Roger Woolsey - is a gem of a guy and used to low flying.
