A group of male bison charging through heavy snow, directly towards a camera is certainly a rare sight and it always seemed a bridge too far from almost every perspective. The question has always been where and how could this epic scene unfold in front of a camera?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Yellowstone National Park was never going to be the answer.  This sort of collective behaviour does not tend to happen in the park and if it did, there would be zero chance of being in the right place at the right time to film it. It is difficult to break new ground in Yellowstone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In 2020 an American artist, John Banovich, an exceptional talent and good friend, suggested that I approach Ted Turner to see if I could gain access to his stunning 180 square mile ranch - Flying D - saddling Yellowstone and neighbouring Big Sky. This remarkable place is nine times the size of Manhattan and showcases Montana at its most stunning best.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e John’s wonderful painting of a group of running bison adorns the wall of the main reception of the exclusive Yellowstone Club and he took his inspiration from spending time at Ted Turner’s ranch.  I recognised that this was a link worth pursuing. Flatteringly, a few months after my initial approach, the Turner team agreed to collaborate in the hope that we could raise money for Ted’s conservation initiatives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Ted Turner is one of America’s biggest landowners and also one of its most acclaimed conservationists and he reintroduced both bison and wolves into Flying D, one of his three Montana ranches. In mid-winter, his team of ranchers will herd some of the 5,000-resident bison into areas where feeding is easier and this controlled activity creates an opportunity to work a situation.  Just like cowboys herding their cattle in Texas, the skill sets of the Turner ranchers in deep snow are a privilege to watch.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The difficulty is that bison in this vast ranch are more skittish of humans on foot than their Yellowstone cousins, who see thousands of tourists every day.   I therefore needed either to be camouflaged or out of sight as they made haste in my direction. Luckily the Flying D team knew of a group of rocks behind which I would be obscured from the bison’s line of sight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e After many a failure, and some adjustments to the approach, one gorgeous winter morning in February, we achieved what we set out to do. It was a real team effort and I want to thank John Banovich and the whole Turner Corporation team at the Flying D.","brand":"David Yarrow","offers":[{"title":"132 x 292 cm (image size) | 132 x 292 cm (framed size)","offer_id":42702768472151,"sku":"DY-PHO-The Bills III (Colour)-132 x 292 cm (image size) | 132 x 292 cm (framed size)-OPEN-A","price":26500.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/0553\/files\/yarrow_david_237_The_The_Bills_2_102x200_a990c524-6dd5-4c16-ba57-e47b8c0895ce.jpg?v=1776235469"},{"product_id":"david-yarrow-american-idol","title":"American Idol","description":"American Idol\u003cbr\u003e\nYellowstone National Park, USA 2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis powerful image of a large bull bison was captured near Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming.

It is a stunningly raw and beautiful park in the winter but it can also be extremely cold. The steam from the thermal activity freezes on whatever it can - including the big bisons that gravitate there to keep warm. I have waited for a very cold day like yesterday in Yellowstone for a long time, but looking at me this morning I have certainly paid the price.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This kind of photography may test one's appetite to work in extreme conditions, but it also tests our maths. I have never taken a photograph of anything on an aperture of F18 before, but I did yesterday as I wanted as much depth of focus as possible. My inclination was to be greedy and to try and have the bison’s nose in focus and also her eyes. So I sacrificed shutter speed and resolution and hoped for the best. It was impossible to check too much in the field, but when we returned home, I found one gem. I hope she is feeling better than me today.

If it was the same bison, in the same field at midday in the summer, there would be nothing special at all. I am reminded that we always have to fight to get what we want. Big bull bison in the snow as a starting concept is appealing as they are primeval beasts that survived an ice age and portraits work best when their faces look like monsters from Game of Thrones.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nWhen working in heavy snowfall, there is a need to be as close to the subject as possible so as to reduce the number of snowflakes hitting the line of path between the camera and the subject.

The river detail behind lends to the power of the image as it gives an emphatic sense of place and season. This proximity came from a combination of my experience of bison movement and fluency in the use of remote control cameras. This is not something people should try in Yellowstone without a good guide and extreme caution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The second bonus is simply the position of the bison’s head. The big males do resemble beasts from some sort of fantasy production and the lower the camera is relative to the head, the more the sense of an encounter with a creature from another world is amplified. This looks like an animal from a different planet - something “Throners” would expect to see “North of the Wall”. No other mammal on the planet looks more like a monster than a male bison in the winter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The third helpful variable is his front left leg suggests movement towards me and that is fortunate as bison can often be stagnant when they are feeding. This picture has the dynamism we often seek.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e We took this picture so early in the day that no one else was in Yellowstone National Park.

The Permian alone looks after 20% of American daily oil demand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor over 100 years now, the oil industry has been at the heart of the economic success of Texas and anyone with a modicum of common sense knows that this is unequivocally something to celebrate. I am delighted that Taylor Sheridan did exactly this, in his own inimitable way, with his highly watchable series Landman.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe history of the oil industry, and the history of the world in the last 140 years, are difficult to decouple; it remains the world’s most important commodity and the character rich industry is often played out in some of the world’s more off beat locations. That is why we are drawn to it with our storytelling, there is a rich amount of material, especially if we go back in time and make it a period production.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe bison has, of course, also played a major role in American history. There have been some dicey moments for this mammal in the West, but all is now good and I thought it would be a fun prop to include on set.

A group of male bison charging through heavy snow, directly towards a camera is certainly a rare sight and it always seemed a bridge too far from almost every perspective. The question has always been where and how could this epic scene unfold in front of a camera?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYellowstone National Park was never going to be the answer.  This sort of collective behaviour does not tend to happen in the park and if it did, there would be zero chance of being in the right place at the right time to film it. It is difficult to break new ground in Yellowstone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 2020 an American artist, John Banovich, an exceptional talent and good friend, suggested that I approach Ted Turner to see if I could gain access to his stunning 180 square mile ranch - Flying D - saddling Yellowstone and neighbouring Big Sky. This remarkable place is nine times the size of Manhattan and showcases Montana at its most stunning best.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn’s wonderful painting of a group of running bison adorns the wall of the main reception of the exclusive Yellowstone Club and he took his inspiration from spending time at Ted Turner’s ranch.  I recognised that this was a link worth pursuing. Flatteringly, a few months after my initial approach, the Turner team agreed to collaborate in the hope that we could raise money for Ted’s conservation initiatives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTed Turner is one of America’s biggest landowners and also one of its most acclaimed conservationists and he reintroduced both bison and wolves into Flying D, one of his three Montana ranches. In mid-winter, his team of ranchers will herd some of the 5,000-resident bison into areas where feeding is easier and this controlled activity creates an opportunity to work a situation.  Just like cowboys herding their cattle in Texas, the skill sets of the Turner ranchers in deep snow are a privilege to watch.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe difficulty is that bison in this vast ranch are more skittish of humans on foot than their Yellowstone cousins, who see thousands of tourists every day.   I therefore needed either to be camouflaged or out of sight as they made haste in my direction. Luckily the Flying D team knew of a group of rocks behind which I would be obscured from the bison’s line of sight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter many a failure, and some adjustments to the approach, one gorgeous winter morning in February, we achieved what we set out to do. It was a real team effort and I want to thank John Banovich and the whole Turner Corporation team at the Flying D.","brand":"David Yarrow","offers":[{"title":"64 x 170 cm (image size) | 102 x 208 cm (framed size)","offer_id":43923621216343,"sku":"DY-PH-The Bills (Colour)-64 x 170 cm (image size) | 102 x 208 cm (framed size)-AR-SI-N\/A","price":63600.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"94 x 254 cm (image size) | 132 x 292 cm (framed size)","offer_id":43923621249111,"sku":"DY-PH-The Bills (Colour)-94 x 254 cm (image size) | 132 x 292 cm (framed size)-AR-SI-N\/A","price":71020.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/0553\/files\/yarrow_david_603_the_bills_colour_102x208_b9d8a66a-0417-42f1-b342-245afb4ca32a.jpg?v=1780588543"},{"product_id":"david-yarrow-a-walk-in-the-woods","title":"A Walk in the Woods","description":"A Walk in the Woods\u003cbr\u003eYellowstone National Park – 2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI am not a big believer in rules in photography because if it is an art form, it is good to remember that art should be without rules. A prescriptive process pushes against the notion of freedom of expression. Warhol is often credited with the line “art is whatever you can get away with” and whether he actually said that is secondary to the power of the message. Authenticity is everything and it should be a personal crusade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI do think, however, that visual harmony within an image is something to strive for if it is available. If there is some stability in the weightings, or even better, a symmetry, the photograph - whatever the subject - can be more pleasing on the viewer’s eye. Chaos works for photojournalists capturing decisive moments, but what I try to do is make pictures as opposed to take them. It is a less relevant and a less noble genre of photography than working on the Foreign News desk and the goals are entirely different.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese thoughts were very much on my mind in Yellowstone National Park when working with this lone bison. The only shot that could work had to have symmetry as well as detail. If the bison was a meter either side of this position then there would be no image.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOf course, the truth was that most of the photographs that morning were lopsided and aesthetically awkward. The bison would not be at right angles to my camera and not starring down my lens or the head would clash with the trees and create a nasty tension point.

To dissolve would be a harrowing death and it has, of course, happened to both bison and cavalier visitors to the National Park.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis portrait is sharp and looks at its best when it is at least life size. The abstract granularity of the bison’s iced fur elevates the photograph. I don’t think I have ever encountered as white a bison as this and I left the park with a sense of mission accomplished.","brand":"David Yarrow","offers":[{"title":"112 x 94 cm (image size) | 150 x 132 cm (framed size)","offer_id":43923662045271,"sku":"DY-PH-25 Degrees Below (Colour)-112 x 94 cm (image size) | 150 x 132 cm (framed size)-AR-SI-N\/A","price":29680.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"168 x 142 cm (image size) | 206 x 180 cm (framed size)","offer_id":43923662078039,"sku":"DY-PH-25 Degrees Below (Colour)-168 x 142 cm (image size) | 206 x 180 cm (framed size)-AR-SI-N\/A","price":37100.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/0553\/files\/yarrow_david_645_25_degrees_below_colour_150x132_1123ade3-b2e4-4321-a23f-2a5e81d3deee.jpg?v=1780589529"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/0553\/collections\/yarrow_david_102_winter_s_coming_132x132_ce86a4a5-2094-49c9-aa81-35e3d42cb41f.jpg?v=1754660553","url":"https:\/\/petragut.com\/de\/collections\/bisons-by-david-yarrow.oembed?page=2","provider":"Petra Gut Contemporary AG","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
