I’m a Canon shooter myself but really appreciate David’s work and his association with Nikon. Further, I love that he refers to his cameras and lenses as ‘equipment’ and not ‘gear’.. shows an appreciation for the equipment and technology.
I’m sure my comments will be considered apocryphal but I don’t find myself easily seduced by Yarrow’s charisma nor by the visual impact of his images. He is a wealthy man who can pour all required resources into getting the picture he wants. I am ready to stop there before making a judgment but this stopping place makes me raise the question, what is fine art photography? Is there such a thing? Whilst I do not pretend to know the answer to that, I have an answer to hold up before myself as a personal standard. I would consider my photography fine art if I meet a moment I am available to with an open heart, such that I happen to press the shutter at the precise time life speaks through the image, providing a magic and synchronicity impossible to contrive by any amount of my seeking or effort. I find Yarrow’s images too pulled by the hairs, beautiful but contrived, perhaps too perfect to speak for life. I would venture that for me a fine artist should paint with the light (photography) on behalf of the light or in service to it, more than with the light. One gives himself to the whole and the other takes from the whole for himself. You be the judge.
@@davidf6326 Yes, 4 good shots a year. But what he really means is images good enough that will sell for few a thousand. But he also said photographers shouldn't upload 100 images of their safari because you can't take that many good shots... That's fine advice as long as you have the luxury to travel as much as he does. So people can't be proud of more than 3 or 4 of their images because he has high standards for his own work?
@@jakecook716 It wasn't so much how many he keeps that caught my ear, as how many he has to discard to get to those few shots. By his own admission, despite all the planning there is a high degree of luck in getting just the right shot. I don't think he is suggesting that the typical photographer should be as particular as he is - as you say, his pictures sell for thousands of pounds. Rather, I think he is saying that being a little more selective with your own photos will increase their impact. Given the overwhelming quantity of photos on the internet I would tend to agree with him.
instagram.com/p/Bv4RcKEH1NJ/ Have a listen to this guys point on Davids advice to photographers. His tips are 100% to be like him, and doesn't regard people who have budgets and are just trying to build up a portfolio
Jake Cook lol simple do your own thing then, I don’t know why it bothers you so much. Everybody is entitled to an opinion but the difference is this guy makes a lot of money from prints doing what he loves and that makes his opinion worth more than others.

Love the B&W impact of the mother and baby elephant together
Love the elephant pics. I'm shooting medium format now, I'd love to see some giant elephant pics taken with a big sensor like that.
Mr.David Yarrow is great photographer.
He is truly inspiring.
You have been my idol 👍❤️
Breaking a new ground with setting up the shoot like it is a fashion one. Good jab.
I'm a fan of nikon. This kind of opportunity to be an ambassador of nikon would be my biggest dream 😍❤

Great photographer but he is one of the most pretentious famous photographers I've come across
Pretentious - I wouldn't say that. Have you seen one of the other videos on here where he speak about his keeper rate?
