{"product_id":"david-yarrow-white-mischief","title":"White Mischief","description":"White Mischief\u003cbr\u003e2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndigenous to the Timbavati region of South Africa, white lions are now extremely rare – they are the stuff of children’s fables rather than day to day reality in the bush. White lions need help to survive as a breed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMy friend Kevin Richardson, The Lion Whisperer, still looks after a few, although his favourite white lion in the sanctuary, Thor, was killed by a lightning strike – a perverse twist of fate given that Thor is the god of thunder and lightning. That tragic strike suggested the work of higher powers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen I first saw this white lioness, her colouring, or indeed lack of it, had a profound and immediate visual impact on me. She was as much a mythological beast as she was a modern day cat. It struck me that we needed to build the narrative around the fact that she was so white. Nothing else really mattered – she should look haunting and ethereal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI could be nowhere near the camera when we worked this image – these lions are dangerous and big. I operated the remote from at least 60 yards away, but I prefocused precisely on the ridge as I wanted no context other than the fluffy white clouds. This composition I felt would further enhance the sense of a fairytale.","brand":"David Yarrow","offers":[{"title":"94 x 97 cm (image size) | 132 x 135 cm (framed size)","offer_id":43923284164695,"sku":"DY-PH-White Mischief-94 x 97 cm (image size) | 132 x 135 cm (framed size)-AR-SI-N\/A","price":10600.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"142 x 147 cm (image size) | 180 x 185 cm (framed size)","offer_id":43923284197463,"sku":"DY-PH-White Mischief-142 x 147 cm (image size) | 180 x 185 cm (framed size)-AR-SI-N\/A","price":18020.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/0553\/files\/yarrow_david_706_white_mischief_132x135_caed3dd9-b2e6-4eef-8e46-b6b4fa20fc07.jpg?v=1780579794","url":"https:\/\/petragut.com\/de\/products\/david-yarrow-white-mischief","provider":"Petra Gut Contemporary AG","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
