David Yarrow, the acclaimed Scottish photographer, has earned international recognition for his remarkable ability to capture the world’s most compelling images. Born in Scotland, Yarrow’s early career saw him named Young Scottish Photographer of the Year at just 20, and he gained fame with his iconic photograph of Diego Maradona lifting the World Cup trophy in 1986.
Yarrow’s work extends far beyond his early successes, showcasing his talent in some of the most remote and dramatic locations on the planet. He ventures into South Africa’s marshlands with conservationist Kevin Richardson, capturing the majestic presence of adult male lions. His adventures also take him to Mustang Monument Ranch in Nevada, where he documents the untamed spirit of wild mustangs in dynamic and captivating ways.
