Everything is big in Texas and therefore creative ideas should be big too. We wondered whether anyone had tried to photograph the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders and working cowboys with their longhorn cattle in the same shot. Further still, we wondered whether it had ever been done in downtown Dallas in the middle of the day? Once I have an idea in my head, I am like a dog with a bone - I will not let it go until all possible angles have been exhausted to make it happen. Dallas did happen and there are so many people I would like to thank. I start with Shawn Todd - who helped close down the East Quarter of Dallas that he is redeveloping. Then I must thank The Dallas Cowboys franchise, in particular, Kelli Finglass, the Director of the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders and of course all the girls themselves. Also, I must thank many of my friends in Dallas who came along and lent support. Bill Hill - the former District Attorney of Dallas; Troy Aikman, the iconic quarterback for the Cowboys; Steve Stodghill and his wife Anne who have done so much for me in the city and of course JD and Lea Miller of Samuel Lynne Gallery who represent me in the city. This was a real team effort. But thank you most of all to the Dallas Police Department for making it all possible." -David Yarrow

David Yarrow

David Yarrow, born 1966 in Scotland, took up photography at an early age, as a 20-year-old he found himself working as a photographer for The London Times on the pitch at the World Cup Final in Mexico City. On that day, he took the sensationalized picture of Diego Maradona holding the World Cup and, as a result, was subsequently asked to cover the Olympics and numerous other high profile sporting events.

Many years later, Yarrow established himself as a fine art photographer by documenting the natural world from new perspectives and recent years have been career-defining for his mark on the world of contemporary fine art photography.

Yarrow’s evocative and immersive photography of life on earth is most distinctive and has earned him an ever-growing following among art collectors and celebrities. His distinct large monochrome images made in Los Angeles are on display in leading galleries and museums across Europe and North America. Yarrow is now recognized as one of the best-selling fine art photographers in the world and his limited edition works regularly sell at high prices at Sotheby’s and other auction houses.

In September 2019, Rizzoli published their second book by Yarrow, with a personal foreword written by global NFL star Tom Brady and thoughtful afterword written by American cultural icon and supermodel Cindy Crawford. All royalties from the book have been donated to conservation charities Tusk in the UK and WildAid in the US.

Yarrow's position in the industry has been rewarded with a wide range of advisory and ambassadorial roles. He is an ambassador for WildArk and The Kevin Richardson Foundation and is the European ambassador for Nikon. Yarrow has been integral to Nikon's most anticipated camera release of the last decade. In December 2017, he shot LVMH’s latest “Don’t Crack Under Pressure” campaign with Cara Delevingne. In January 2019, he was appointed as a global ambassador for UBS. In the spring of 2020, Yarrow was appointed a global ambassador for Best Buddies – one of America’s most established children’s charities.

Yarrow became an ambassador for the African Community and Conservation Foundation and presented his work in the Endangered Rangers virtual fundraiser. At the start of 2020, Yarrow was in Australia documenting the devastating bush fires that have destroyed communities, wildlife and wildlands. Using the striking images that he captured of the effects of the fire, he launched the #KoalaComeback Campaign to support the recovery efforts in Australia. The campaign raised over $1.4 million, and as Yarrow continues to work for humanitarian causes, his steadfast determination continues to make positive change for the benefit of global awareness. Currently, Yarrow continues to create stunning imagery with lasting global impact and archival quality that speaks to his reverence for the art of photography in capturing the wonders of the world.
