Overview

David Yarrow (b. 1966) is a British photographer and philanthropist whose evocative and immersive photography of life on earth has captivated collectors world-wide. His large monochromatic images are on display in museums across Europe and North America and his work is also a regular feature at established art fairs. David began his career in photography as a successful photojournalist in the late ‘80’s and has now firmly established himself as one of the bestselling photographers in the world.

 

At the Sotheby’s photography auction in London in May 2017, Yarrow’s iconic image from South Sudan – Mankind - was sold for $75,000, the highest of the 100 lots in the show. In April of 2018 year David’s image “The Wolf of Main Street” sold for $100,000 and was the highest bid for piece by a living photographer. Most recently “78 Degrees North” went for an even more impressive $110,000.

 

In 2016, Rizzoli New York published Yarrow’s book - Wild Encounters - with a foreword written by HRH The Duke of Cambridge (Prince William). The book was awarded “Art Book of 2017” by Amazon and has already sold out a second print run. All Yarrow’s royalties from the book continue to be donated to Tusk, the leading British NGO that focuses on animal conservation in Africa. Philanthropy and conservation are central to David Yarrow’s passion to document the animal and human world in a fresh and creative way.
