It is as good as I can do and probably my most impactful animal portrait for some time. The bison is an emblematic North American animal that roamed the continent millions of years before man. When fully grown, it is a massive beast that deserves our respect and recognition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When I was researching bison earlier this year, I quickly understood two things – firstly that some rogue bulls carry a serious threat if their space is invaded and secondly that the adult face is both prehistoric and enormous. The bison is all about the face and I sensed that any picture that didn’t recognise this, would miss my goals. My instincts were that the image also needed a sense of “Yellowstone in the winter” and this, combined with the need for proximity, all pointed to a ground level, remote control approach.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e To work with ground level radio controlled cameras and a prime wide angle is very much my signature style, but it is easier with elephants in Amboseli, than bison in Yellowstone. This is not an easy location – our guide suggested that 95% of Yellowstone is out of bounds in winter. It is the most geothermally active park in the world, throw avalanches, wolves and bears into the mix and we have a primordial soup of creation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I failed about 10 times with my camera positioning and I tweaked my lens\/camera combination constantly. It was most frustrating and I was generally grumpy. But on the third day at about 2 pm, it all came together. The trees and the sky are most helpful additives – but what a face and what a back structure. I haven’t seen this sort of image of a big bison before.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I would like to thank Tom Murphy, one of America’s most acclaimed nature photographers, for assisting me on this assignment. We were both frustrated by the milder weather at the start of the week, but his knowledge and fireside tales of the area kept the spirits up. A good 20 years ago in the depth of a very cold winter, Tom – equipped with just a light tent – took a back country ski trip across the 100 km span of Yellowstone – a remarkable feat that truly humbles anything I have ever achieved and a trip that will soon be commemorated by a long awaited documentary film.","brand":"David Yarrow","offers":[{"title":"99 x 94 cm (image size) | 132 x 137 cm (framed size)","offer_id":44169066217559,"sku":"DY-PH-American Idol II-99 x 94 cm (image size) | 132 x 137 cm (framed size)-AR-SI-N\/A","price":33000.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"152 x 142 cm (image size) | 180 x 190 cm (framed size)","offer_id":44169066250327,"sku":"DY-PH-American Idol II-152 x 142 cm (image size) | 180 x 190 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_071_american_idol_2.jpg?v=1786794496"},{"product_id":"david-yarrow-ice-age","title":"Ice Age","description":"Ice Age\u003cbr\u003e Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming – 2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e After three days in Yellowstone Park this week, I was suffering from the flu. 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. She will be - they are as tough as hell.","brand":"David Yarrow","offers":[{"title":"94 x 114 cm (image size) | 132 x 152 cm (framed size)","offer_id":44169090793559,"sku":"DY-PH-Ice Age-94 x 114 cm (image size) | 132 x 152 cm (framed size)-AR-SI-N\/A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"142 x 173 cm (image size) | 180 x 210 cm (framed size)","offer_id":44169090826327,"sku":"DY-PH-Ice Age-142 x 173 cm (image size) | 180 x 210 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_240_Ice_Age_132x152_f2b1a8c8-b5ed-4160-96b5-0f102ae7e3d7.jpg?v=1786794671"},{"product_id":"david-yarrow-boogie-nights","title":"Boogie Nights","description":"Boogie Nights\u003cbr\u003e\nYellowstone National Park, Wyoming - 2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThis beast of a bull bison has a hairstyle that could be from 1970s Harlem, not Yellowstone National Park .

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. Too much and the whole thing becomes a little too abstract.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nIt is not permitted to be within 25 metres of a bison in Yellowstone and this rule is often enforced in a charmless and dictatorial way. There is actually a prison at the north entrance in Yellowstone and visitors are left in little doubt that transgressions within the park could lead to the transgressor serving time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThat morning in early January 2020, I did not have a measuring tape with me, but I guess I was as close as I could be and maybe a little more. But I was on my own - clearly no one else was daft enough to be out there in that storm just after sunrise. I think the amount of snow detail between the camera and the bison adds to the mood of the image. Winter was very clearly coming.","brand":"David Yarrow","offers":[{"title":"94 x 94 cm (image size) | 132 x 132 cm (framed size)","offer_id":44169127854167,"sku":"DY-PH-Winter's Coming-94 x 94 cm (image size) | 132 x 132 cm (framed size)-AR-SI-N\/A","price":33000.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"142 x 142 cm (image size) | 180 x 180 cm (framed size)","offer_id":44169127886935,"sku":"DY-PH-Winter's Coming-142 x 142 cm (image size) | 180 x 180 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_102_winter_s_coming_132x132_54891547-deb1-44da-9a9f-a9d6ec427b24.jpg?v=1786795075"},{"product_id":"david-yarrow-buffalo-soldier","title":"Buffalo Soldier","description":"Buffalo Soldier\u003cbr\u003e Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA – 2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA – 2021 Three variables came together in this split second to allow this winter portrait to transcend most of my work with bison in Yellowstone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The first is of course the proximity, which allowed for a standard lens and the contextual narrative that goes with it. 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.

His size, the mountain on the left, the snow laden forest on the right and the virginal snow in the foreground all coalesce in the most fortuitous manner. Meanwhile, the early morning sunlight allows for every detail on the bison’s face.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This portrait was taken with a 35mm lens, the best portrait lens I know and this image is proof as to why. Setting the remote up was not that challenging as the massive bull was some distance from me at the time, but we then had to hope that we’d got both the maths and the bison’s direction of travel right. But this was down to luck more than judgement and this one image is perhaps the reward for the multiple of times we have failed.

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.  It’s a low percentage gig.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLuckily all a photographer needs to show is one shot.","brand":"David Yarrow","offers":[{"title":"84 x 196 cm (image size) | 122 x 234 cm (framed size)","offer_id":44169235791959,"sku":"DY-PH-A Walk in the Woods-84 x 196 cm (image size) | 122 x 234 cm (framed size)-AR-SI-N\/A","price":33000.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"112 x 262 cm (image size) | 150 x 300 cm (framed size)","offer_id":44169235824727,"sku":"DY-PH-A Walk in the Woods-112 x 262 cm (image size) | 150 x 300 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_635_a_walk_in_the_woods_122x234_af015be1-81ed-460f-996e-ca597a923a4b.jpg?v=1786796527"},{"product_id":"david-yarrow-road-rage","title":"Road Rage","description":"Road Rage\u003cbr\u003eYellowstone National Park – 2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYellowstone is the only place in the United States where bison have lived continuously since prehistoric times. By 1902, poachers had reduced Yellowstone’s herd to about two dozen animals but the recent estimates suggest this has grown to around 5,000-5,400.  It is America's largest and oldest wild, free-roaming herd.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe only film bison in Yellowstone in the depths of winter. There are two reasons for this: one of course is that the traffic is bearable in the winter and we are very often on our own and out of the park by 10 am; the second more important factor is that the presence of snow plays to the animal’s fortitude. I would not film the Amalfi coast in the winter, as it is a summer holiday destination, and in the same way I have no interest in filming in Yellowstone in July.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI tend to focus on the male bison which can weigh up to 2,000 pounds and stand 6 feet tall. From the right angle, their enormous heads and curved horns elicit imagery of mythological beasts; they are part cow and part fantasy. The bison are a revered part of the tapestry of Americana.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis immersive photograph was shot on a remote camera with a wide-angle lens on the road between West Yellowstone and Madison Junction. It’s an iterative process and I often fail simply because I am not in charge of the bison’s movement. But a pattern can develop and then we must be patient.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYellowstone is very accessible these days and there are many photographers up there every day. I think the important thing is to be true to oneself and do what you do.","brand":"David Yarrow","offers":[{"title":"94 x 157 cm (image size) | 132 x 196 cm (framed size)","offer_id":44169235857495,"sku":"DY-PH-Road Rage-94 x 157 cm (image size) | 132 x 196 cm (framed size)-AR-SI-N\/A","price":33000.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"142 x 239 cm (image size) | 180 x 277 cm (framed size)","offer_id":44169235890263,"sku":"DY-PH-Road Rage-142 x 239 cm (image size) | 180 x 277 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_636_road_rage_132x196_bbf00946-6872-46c9-970e-491167728c2f.jpg?v=1786796529"},{"product_id":"david-yarrow-the-beast","title":"The Beast","description":"The Beast\u003cbr\u003eOkeechobee, Florida – 2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvery state in America has its own unique characteristics that shape outsiders’ perceptions: New York is the world’s business epicenter; Texas has cowboys and oil; whilst Alaska is the final frontier. Our cognitive processing tends to elicit visual symbolisms that are consensual - mention the word “Nevada” and we think of gambling in a desert.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut Florida is more complicated. It cannot be conveniently categorised or boxed. On the coast is Miami, with its tourist beaches, Art Deco, influencers, pop culture and Hispanic soul. Then up the road is Palm Beach with its genteel “Slim Aarons” high-society life of golf, tennis, bridge and cocktails.\nThe two communities could not be more different in culture and ethnicity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey only have two things in common: favourable taxes and proximity to America’s Jurassic Park - an untamed territory that remains primeval and largely closed for business. The swamps of Florida were not made for human life, yet they sit within 30 miles of two of the most evolved and desirable places to live in the world. It is as stark a visual dislocation as there can be.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn no part of America does the price of real estate fall quicker than when travelling west from the Atlantic beaches of southern Florida. There are too many insects and far too many dangerous reptiles for sane mankind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe emblematic beast of Florida is the alligator and for the 56,000 students at the University of Florida, life would be different if “Gators” did not exist.
