"The Joshua Tree Saloon to the north of the stunning National Park hasn’t changed much over the last 40 years. It’s as solid a fixture in the tapestry of the town as the colossal rocks that characterize the park. The bar´s weathered wood and corrugated iron structure gives it a movie set vibe and it now has a secure place on our list of favorite bar locations. There are thousands of bars in America, but we know of only a handful that tick all the boxes for us. The Joshua Tree Saloon is one, partly because the owner, Camille Robbins, is always so accommodating to our crew and our guests.
It is essentially a bikers’ bar and I felt no need to play outside that vibe. It tends to be my default position to exaggerate the protagonist and the narrative in a Coen Brothers way. We are playing parody, not working for Nat Geo.
So, into the bar we brought some of the most uncompromising looking bikers we could find (not a hard ask in California), the meanest looking wolf in the region and then to create the visual disconnect, some A list femininity.
The composition had to be precise, tight and layered. The human component was easy, but we needed the big black wolf to cooperate and play to the camera. It’s difficult to articulate the mood of menace to an animal, but luckily, he briefly gave us the look I was hoping for without instruction.
The end picture tells the story I wanted. This is not a bar for the frail, timid or callow, rather it is for Big Dogs. But no matter how tough the bikers may look, one pair own the room and the table, and that is the lady and her wolf. They are not in any way troubled by the bikers - in fact the Big Dogs seem rather in awe." - David Yarrow

Born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1966, he is an internationally acclaimed fine art photographer and Europe’s best selling wildlife photographer. "My plan was to find a section of Sunset Boulevard emblematic of Hollywood - it needed to be familiar to all and have some depth. After a great deal of walking up and down, we chose a spot 200 yards east of the entrance to Chateau Marmont, because the billboards looking west were large and well positioned and the hotel and the hotel sign are so iconic. The bend in the road also helped give the frame a compositional balance that I could not find on other sections - such as Sunset Plaza. In my head it was always going to be a wide angle shot. To shut the road down meant shooting first thing on a Sunday morning - which worked as we knew the best light would be sunrise if we were shooting towards the Pacific. Equally, I did not want the sun to rise too much as it would be tough on both the wolf and the model’s eyes. Of course, the model was not your run of the mill model - it was Alessandra Ambrosio - one of the world’s most photographed women. She has a very special look and is so easy to work with. The photograph is as I wanted - very LA, very West Hollywood and jammed with reference points. It’s a little crazy, a little La La Land, but that was the goal. Most of all, to the best of my knowledge, it’s authentic. No one can try and copy it now. "Once Upon a Time...Category
