David Yarrow
The Lonesome Cowboy

KLAUSTER, ICELAND – 2024

About the Item

Available in the following sizes: 47 x 92 inches, Edition of 12 57 x 118 inches, Edition of 12 “There is a haunting grandeur to these cliffs in the winter; they are full of such foreboding that a visitor can be excused for feeling unwelcome. It is no surprise that Game of Thrones has been filmed very close to here in the southeast of Iceland, it ticks many a box for the visually hungry location scout. A sense of place is often easier to achieve in a photograph than a sense of scale, but both are important for me in a shot like this. Landscape photography is a very challenging genre of photography and not one I have ever really shown much distinction at. I want to tell my own stories and that requires bringing our own props and simply using the backdrop as a canvas. My leaning was to play on the enormity of the scenery and the comparative modesty of man. The cowboy here was a strong and tough man. We spent a few days together during the snowstorm in Iceland and his word was generally sovereign. There was no need to challenge any of his views on the outside world or indeed on his own world.” – David Yarrow

    By David Yarrow
    Located in Los Angeles, CA
    Available in the following sizes: 39 x 93 inches, Edition of 20 46 x 118 inches, Edition of 20 “The lake below the celebrated and historic Swiss community of St Moritz has been hosting sports events for 150 years; sailing in the summer months and, of course, all sorts of activities on the ice in the winter, the most spectacular and famous of which, is the White Turf racing festival held over three consecutive Sundays in February. I have been to St Moritz during this period several times over the years and the photograph I have had in mind to celebrate these fairy-tale races has never been possible because the weather hasn’t played ball. I wanted to visually glorify the amphitheatre as much as the racing itself and this required fresh snow. After a thaw, any winter town...
