David Yarrow, born in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1966, is one of the world’s most respected fine art photographers. He first gained recognition as a sports photographer at just 20 years old, capturing the iconic image of Diego Maradona lifting the World Cup in 1986. However, it was his passion for wildlife and the natural world that ultimately defined his career. Over the years, Yarrow has ventured into some of the most remote and dangerous corners of the planet, producing breathtaking black-and-white photographs that offer an intimate glimpse into the raw beauty of wildlife and the human condition.
Yarrow’s powerful imagery transcends mere documentation, telling rich, layered stories that evoke deep emotions and inspire a sense of awe. His unique ability to combine artistic composition with a deep respect for his subjects has earned him widespread acclaim. His work is regularly exhibited in prestigious galleries and sold in major auctions such as Sotheby’s, where his limited edition prints are highly sought after by collectors worldwide.
In addition to his artistic achievements, Yarrow is also a passionate advocate for wildlife conservation, donating significant proceeds from his photography to various environmental charities. His books, including "Wild Encounters" and "Storytelling," showcase his extraordinary portfolio and serve as a testament to his enduring impact on the world of fine art photography.
