About the Item
"Driving Miss Daisy"
Nantucket, USA 2022
Digital Pigment Print on Archival 315gsm Hahnemuhle Photo Rag Baryta Paper
This work was sourced directly from the artist.
Nantucket is known for its lighthouses; they are integral to the island’s story and it was always my plan to build a story around one of them. Equally, we don’t do postcard pictures and there is always a danger of falling into the trap of being bland - particularly on an island as well photographed as Nantucket.
There is a curious tradition on Nantucket of welcoming the arrival of spring with Daffy Day - a celebration of the island’s unusually large population of daffodils that burst into life in April. Thousands of people come from the mainland on this chosen Saturday, although Covid put paid to the event in 2020 and 2021.
The centre piece of the celebration is a vintage car rally and the famous cobbled main street of Nantucket turns into a sea of yellow. This prompted some ideas and I recognised the potential of borrowing a cool vehicle and building a story around it.
We had a Morgan Freeman look-a-like on the island - Ron Sanford - and the idea of a Driving Miss Daisy concept then fell into place quite quickly. We had already scouted all the lighthouses and I knew my spot, not far from the Sankaty Head Light, built in 1850 at the easternmost point of the island. The lighthouse was always going to play a contextual role, not the lead role, that honour went to Kate Bock, who made for a spring like Miss Daisy.
The shoot was over by 7.10 am in the morning. Just as well, as we were shooting on Sankaty Head Golf Club and I think the members may have found the visual overload too much for their golf that morning.

About David Yarrow
David Yarrow was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1966. He took up photography at an early age and as a 20-year-old found himself working as a photographer for The London Times on the pitch at the World Cup Final in Mexico City. On that day, David took the famous picture of Diego Maradona holding the World Cup and, as a result, was subsequently asked to cover the Olympics and numerous other sporting events. Many years later David established himself as a fine art photographer by documenting the natural world from new perspectives and the last nine years have been career-defining.
David’s evocative and immersive photography of life on earth is most distinctive and has earned him an ever-growing following amongst art collectors. His large monochrome images made in Los Angeles are on display in leading galleries and museums across Europe and North America. He is now recognised 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.
