That, coupled with the elemental and geologically angry landscape, make for a compelling proposition for film producers. Directors as senior as Clint Eastwood and Ridley Scott have reaped the benefits whilst leading film franchises such as Bond, Marvel and Fast and Furious have memorably played on the visuals here. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But in terms of viewer figures, it has been the Hbo smash series Game of Thrones that has exposed Iceland’s unique visuals to the world.  After all, over 1 billion people are believed to have watched the last series. We have worked recently with one of the leads in the series - the talented Nathalie Emmanuel - and that has heightened our appreciation of the record-breaking show. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This location, on the south coast near the village of Vik, emphatically offers a Game of Thrones’ backdrop, but I needed more than just a landscape.  We needed an Icelandic horse to grab the eye in the foreground and endorse the sense of timeless fantasy and myth. These horses often have extravagant hair styles than can obstruct their eyes and it dawned on me that the image I was trying to create could be well served by embracing anonymity.  The concept was to take the viewer to a different world. The overcast weather and cloud cover help the narrative - it does have a Game of Thrones feel to it. I think a sunny morning would have killed the image.","brand":"David Yarrow","offers":[{"title":"80 x 216 cm (framed size)","offer_id":43469954973783,"sku":"DY-PH-Game of Thrones-80 x 216 cm (framed size)-AR-SI-N\/A","price":21200.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"132 x 155 cm (framed size)","offer_id":43469955006551,"sku":"DY-PH-Game of Thrones-132 x 155 cm (framed size)-AR-SI-N\/A","price":15900.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"david-yarrow-hustlers","title":"Hustlers","description":"Hustlers\u003cbr\u003e Arizona, USA – 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The 1961 movie The Hustler won two Oscars and, along with The Color of Money, is probably the most famous Hollywood pool film. Based on the novel with the same name by Walter Tevis (1959), it tells the story full of ups and downs of the talented “Fast” Eddie Felson (Paul Newman) and his encounters with the legendary Minnesota Fats (Jackie Gleason). In the movie, players were always heavy gamblers, smokers and drinkers which contributed to the “bad boy” image of pool. There is nothing that can be sugar coated about pool; it is not an activity for the earnest or the clean living. It is a game for drinkers and hustlers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I felt no need to earmark a Fast Eddie or Minnesota Fats in this pool game, shot in a dive bar on Route 66 near Flagstaff, Arizona but I did feel an urge to make the bar full of cowboy mischief. I also wanted to throw in some 1960s glamour (Josie Canseco) and - just for good measure - a wolf. Wolves are always good visual metaphors for mischief.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Whilst my intent was playful, my direction was for everyone on set to be deadly serious and focused. The cowboys in the background understood my instructions, but I am not sure what some of them were truly focused on.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I thought Clint Eastwood from a Fistful of Dollars would be a good addition to any dive bar along Route 66. Who would not want to be in that saloon right now?","brand":"David Yarrow","offers":[{"title":"94 x 155 cm (image size) | 132 x 193 cm (framed size)","offer_id":43469987479639,"sku":"DY-PH-Hustlers-94 x 155 cm (image size) | 132 x 193 cm (framed size)-AR-SI-N\/A","price":26500.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"142 x 236 cm (image size) | 180 x 274 cm (framed size)","offer_id":43469987512407,"sku":"DY-PH-Hustlers-142 x 236 cm (image size) | 180 x 274 cm (framed size)-AR-SI-N\/A","price":31800.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/0553\/files\/yarrow_david_298_hustler_132x193_9678cfe6-ffeb-4295-9f49-452fdb5f20d1.jpg?v=1778869266"},{"product_id":"david-yarrow-the-million-dollar-cowboy-bar","title":"The Million Dollar Cowboy Bar","description":"The Million Dollar Cowboy Bar\u003cbr\u003e  Jackson Hole, Wyoming, USA - 2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e    Established in 1937, the Million Dollar Cowboy bar in Jackson, Wyoming is one of America’s landmark honky tonks.
