Description

Celebrating the full arc of 40 years' worth of Yarrow's most iconic images, this massive retrospective is the must-have photography monograph of the year.

Legendary British photographer David Yarrow showcases 150 of his best images in a curated mix of yet-to-be-published and best-selling photographs. The Collection details the artist's journey from a 20-year-old shooting pitchside at the 1986 FIFA World Cup Final to photographing the natural world and, more recently, simply telling stories. His personal anthology of the Wild West sought to entertain, not teach, and its success encouraged him to tell historical stories elsewhere. These large-scale productions across multiple continents have told epic stories, from a lion on a catwalk in South Africa to a car race at Willow Springs International Raceway to evocative scenes in some of the world's most exclusive towns.

Yarrow refuses to be conveniently categorized within a specific genre of photography through the stories he tells. This collection of his work showcases his rigorous aesthetic program and his relentless journey that has taken him around the world, photographing subject matter that includes sports stars, wildlife, supermodels, and frontier towns. The Collection offers additional insight through behind-the-scenes photos and Yarrow's own first-person contextual narratives.

His work has earned him a global following, garnering wide acclaim in the fine-art market. In 2024, he appeared on Artsy's Top 10 Most Inquired About Artists and was the only photographer to feature on the list. His work is exhibited at some of Europe and North America's foremost museums, and globally in more than fifty leading fine-art galleries.

Philanthropy has always been central to Yarrow's mission, and over the past decade, he has raised more than $20 million, focusing on conservation, the socially disadvantaged, and pediatric cancer care. The David Yarrow Family Foundation raises money every week from sales of Yarrow's work.
