This was not hard as 100,000 people once lived here and the winter evenings were long.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \n\nCraps as a game lends itself to still photography more than roulette and poker because the players can crowd around the end of the table as one player throws the dice vaguely in the direction of the cameraman. It worked in the promo stills for Oceans 11 - so it may as well work in the Silver Dollar too. The key is that everyone at the end of the table must - for focusing purposes - be the same distance from the camera. There is no depth of field inside and a two inches disparity will mean that the focus on the transgressor is out.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \n\nKate Bock is made for the Sharon Stone look from the film Casino and Daniella Braga does not take a bad picture.

In celebrated American resort destinations such as Aspen, they can outnumber grounded commercial aircraft 20 to 1. Flying privately makes travel comfortable and appeals to those long of cash and short of time, but to film in a private jet and merely tell a story of luxury, has always struck me as banal and creatively stiff.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Instead, I wanted to use the tube of a private jet to tell a story of excess and bad behaviour; if jets are private, then by definition anything is permissible and the word Pj can elicit imagery of sex, drugs and rock and roll. It is not, of course, a linear relationship and most passengers on private jets are model citizens simply travelling in the most perfunctory of ways from A to B.  But in the art world, I feel no need to play to percentages.  I would rather have some fun and tell some stories. My focus was the Pj journeys that get out of hand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The real Wolf of Wall Street - Jordan Belfort - was not shy of excess and I persuaded him that we could build a frame around some of the infamous moments from the movie and host that aggregation in a Pj. I knew that we needed an emphatic reference to the film over and above Jordan and a wolf - and the dollar bill mule girl was core to my intended vibe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Many will remember the scene when the Wolf of Wall Street woke from a drug fuelled flight to find himself tied to his seat by a number of seat belts.  It was a novel storyline and wonderful black comedy. My sense was we could merge this vignette with the dollar mule girl and build from there.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Holly Graves and Josie Canseco both played their roles on the plane as well as I could have asked, especially given the amount of fun everyone was having.  (Holly as the money mule and Josie as the pantomime stewardess). I recognise that it is tough to play “bad ass” when everyone else on the plane is trying not to laugh.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I hope this photograph finds itself on the walls of a few private jets; we all know it depicts a flight that none of us will ever take.","brand":"David Yarrow","offers":[{"title":"94 x 155 cm (image size) | 132 x 193 cm (framed size)","offer_id":43923308806231,"sku":"DY-PH-Flight-94 x 155 cm (image size) | 132 x 193 cm (framed size)-AR-SI-N\/A","price":21200.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"142 x 234 cm (image size) | 180 x 272 cm (framed size)","offer_id":43923308838999,"sku":"DY-PH-Flight-142 x 234 cm (image size) | 180 x 272 cm (framed size)-AR-SI-N\/A","price":26500.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/0553\/files\/yarrow_david_286_flight_132X193_95cc2d6b-4fc3-405c-a359-9110a73c5769.jpg?v=1780581813"},{"product_id":"david-yarrow-i-am-not-f-ing-leaving-b-w","title":"I am not f***ing leaving (b\u0026w)","description":"I am not f***ing leaving (b\u0026amp;w)\u003cbr\u003eLos Angeles, California - 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Over the last three years, we have undertaken two different homages to Martin Scorsese’s wonderful black comedy - The Wolf of Wall Street and on both occasions worked with the real wolf, Jordan Belfort. Pleasingly they have been hugely popular pieces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In 2022, we returned to a dealing room to film the most challenging of the ideas; the “I am Not Fxxxking Leaving” scene. The concept was clear in my head, but I was wrestling with the execution, as, in a still image, it is impossible to have both the speaker and the crowd facing the camera. The idea of the back of Jordan’s head being at the front of the frame had no appeal, meanwhile excluding him from the picture altogether would weaken the narrative.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But the crowd was simple to preconceive; an energy charged orgy of 1994 brokers celebrating the defiance of their leader. I wanted explicit references to the excesses of the era and the film and this demanded a testosterone jammed dealing floor hosting flying dollars, ticker tape, rubber dolls, call girls and marching bands. I always think that it is counter intuitive to downplay parody. We even managed to sneak in a Steve Madden shoe box.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The trick with Jordan was to have him on a big Tv screen facing the same way as everyone else, this way the full story could be told without valuable inches being occupied by the back of Belfort's head. The ticker on Cnbc reminds us how much the Dow has risen since those crazy days of Stratton Oakmont.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I want to thank Josh and Matt Altman and their team from The Altman Brothers for fully embracing their roles as extras. They brought exactly the energy that was needed that morning.

Pleasingly they have been hugely popular pieces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In 2022, we returned to a dealing room to film the most challenging of the ideas; the “I am Not Fxxxking Leaving” scene. The concept was clear in my head, but I was wrestling with the execution, as, in a still image, it is impossible to have both the speaker and the crowd facing the camera. The idea of the back of Jordan’s head being at the front of the frame had no appeal, meanwhile excluding him from the picture altogether would weaken the narrative.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But the crowd was simple to preconceive; an energy charged orgy of 1994 brokers celebrating the defiance of their leader. I wanted explicit references to the excesses of the era and the film and this demanded a testosterone jammed dealing floor hosting flying dollars, ticker tape, rubber dolls, call girls and marching bands. I always think that it is counter intuitive to downplay parody. We even managed to sneak in a Steve Madden shoe box.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The trick with Jordan was to have him on a big Tv screen facing the same way as everyone else, this way the full story could be told without valuable inches being occupied by the back of Belfort's head.
