David Yarrow

The Glaswegian David Yarrow is recognised as one of the leading fine art photographers of the animal and human worlds. Yarrow’s black and white photographs capture with freshness and creativity the awe‐inspiring beauty of subjects like galloping zebras, marching penguins and intimate portraits of lions, giving viewers front row seats into the elegant and violent scenes that unfold. As such, his work is considered by critics as a powerful fusion of the compositional precision of Ansel Adams, the documentary knowledge of David Attenborough and the visual drama of Ridley Scott. Yarrow also maintains that philanthropy and conservation remain central to his documentary practice, and in 2019 alone the charitable donations from the sale of his evocative and immersive images exceeded $3 million.
