Inspiration: FIRST DOWN
South Africa - 2020
Working with a wide-angle lens from a cage in a river in lion territory is an abnormal way to spend the day, and a very low percentage way to take a photograph of note. Lions do jump, but it is not common and even when they do, there is little chance of a camera catching the leap well.
A retrospective of my files would suggest that in 10 years I have only had two successful days. This January I had my second moment that transcended. Nikon has made my life easier over those years with the super-fast D5 camera, but most of all, I want to thank Kevin Richardson - without whom this type of image could not even be considered.
I want the lion to look magnificent - why otherwise take on the brief? So many things have to combine for the cigar shot, but I think with this spectacular frame we can allow ourselves the cigar.
Kevin’s sanctuary in South Africa has given me many moments over the years and as our trust of each other has grown, so have the opportunities. There is no doubt that my work has improved. I am proud to be an Ambassador for his foundation.
Bio: David Yarrow is now recognised as the world’s best-selling fine art photographer of his genre. In recent years, he has found his true comfort zone in capturing the animal and human world in a fresh and creative way, with philanthropy and conservation central to his passion to document. In 2019 and 2020, charitable donations from the sale of David’s images exceeded $5 million.
Yarrow’s photography of life on earth is most distinctive and it has earned him an ever growing following amongst art collectors. Yarrow is now represented by some of the top contemporary fine art galleries around the world and in the last three years, three of Yarrow’s works have sold for over $100,000 at Sotheby’s auctions in London and New York. UBS have also appointed David as their global ambassador.
David Yarrow’s latest book is a 368 page monograph showcasing 150 of his strongest images and features a foreword by Tom Brady and an afterword by Cindy Crawford. All royalties will be donated to conservation charities Tusk & WildAid.
