[CH]. • David Yarrow macht sich in den 1980er Jahren zunächst als Sportfotograf für die London Times einen Namen, bspw. mit der berühmten Fotografie von Diego Maradona nach dem Finale der Weltmeisterschaft in Mexiko City 1986. • Erst viele Jahre später und insbesondere in den vergangenen zehn Jahren etabliert sich der Künstler als weltweit bekannter Natur-Fotograf. • Mit seinen einzigartigen Arbeiten dokumentiert er die Natur aus ganz neuen Perspektiven und zeigt die Tierwelt in ausdrucksstarken, meist monochromen und besonders nah an das Motiv herantretenden Fotografien. • Aufgrund seiner Verdienste für Naturschutz- und philanthropische Wohltätigkeitsorganisationen wird der Künstler im Entstehungsjahr der hier angebotenen Fotografie Botschafter der African Community and Conservation Foundation (ACCF). Mit einem Zertifikat von David Yarrow Photography, August 2020. PROVENIENZ: Maddox Gallery, London. Privatsammlung Hessen (vom Vorgenannten erworben). 'It was quite a busy evening alone on the ground underneath Kilimanjaro [..]. I had my moment and the temptation later that night was to crop out the elephant on the right. After all, the charging bull is coming right towards me and is almost symmetrical to the mountain – so perhaps less was more. But we went back and forth with both options, and we all agreed to keep the smaller elephant in the final crop. [..] the elephant to the right adds a sense of scale to the big bull [..]. So, whilst I am an advocate of the power of reductivism, hence my preference for monochrome, we thought it best to show this memorable capture in its widest frame. There is perhaps that little bit more compositional balance this way than in the tight portrait.'
