  • Part 1 (of 2) exclusive youpic.com/ home films in which we explore David Yarrow's photography of animals and his unique methods. In part 2 (coming in January 2016) we will show his photography of tribes and people and discover the story behind one of his most famous images “Mankind”. David has built an unrivalled reputation for capturing the beauty of the planet’s remote landscapes,tribes and endangered animals. He is now widely regarded as the UK’s best selling fine-art photographer of his genre. His Encounter Collection, was exhibited in November 2013 in Hong Kong, New York and London’s Saatchi Gallery. For David, time, commitment and patience are the foundation stones of taking great photographs.

      But man, those 6 shots a year look out of this world. Stunning photos. I do weddings so I have to produce hundreds of good images, but its usually out of those 2000-3000 shots I do on any gig, that I really like maybe 2 or 3 photos.

    • @Qlicky
      @Qlicky Před 5 lety +4

      I started doing weddings really cheap and reminding the clients that Im still green so there might be stuff I will miss, and they had no problems with it because the photos I did produce were miles better than anyone in my price range, which admittedly was pretty cheap.. It doesn't take long before you get the inner workings of weddings. The rest of it is all your ability, and yes, its considerably harder than people think it is. Just like everything else, if you try to do it proper. I sometimes pull 22 hrs shifts when there is a lot driving involved.
      And people are actually amazed when Im dripping in sweat while trying to make the shots.
      It is physically challenging on top bad weather etc. But hey, it pays good, and I only shoot people anyways, so Im not complaining really. That new lens or camera body is not going to buy itself.

    If you get a chance to see one of David's shows in person, do it!! His work is magnificent small, but when you're in front of one his handmade 40x60 master prints, they knock you right on your fanny. His work is the first I've seen since Peter Beard's that really moved the art forward. Impeccable composition, contrast, lighting, tonal range, printing and of course truly remarkable tributes to earth's most charismatic mega-fauna and environments.

    Spotted jaguar looking up is profound. Crystal clear. Elecitric. Unique photography, Mr. Yarrow . Thank you sir! With this kind of vision, you certainly don’t need more than 6 frames per year.

    I love his work. At 8:08 it looked like he was having a plumber's moment while photographing the polar bears. He allows his humanity to come through. "It is what it is" when getting the shot. Much respect.

    Being a photographer myself, you deserve my admiration. I know it is a lot of hard work and a bit of luck. I hope that you are enjoying a lot!!! 📷

    I am speechless. Amazing and grand are the two words that came to my mind with my limited vocabulary while watching this video. Absolute gem of a photographer. His work speaks rather shouts and not the gear.

    Wow! Just...wow! The word awesome is rarely used justifiably, but this really was awesome. Love the vision, the talent, the art, the humanity, the commercialism. Thank you so much.
