David Yarrow will show off the largest ever collection of his sought-after images at an exciting one-off exhibition.
The 57-year-old’s work has been admired and collected by many celebrities including international sports stars Harry Kane, Tom Brady, Gary Player and Jack Nicklaus, and three past US presidents, George W Bush, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.

Now more than 20 of his works will take centre stage next month on Thursday, April 13, at the Watson Gallery at Edinburgh’s Prestonfield House Hotel.
Watson Gallery owner, Bob Corsie, said: “This is a unique event and, as a proud Scot, David is delighted that we are able to showcase his outstanding work in such a historic setting, in the shadow of Arthur’s Seat.
“He enjoys an international following, but he is particularly pleased to be playing to a home crowd with this special curation of images brought together for just one day in Edinburgh.”
David’s photographic artworks of some of the world’s most endangered species and his epic “storytelling” scenes have proven popular.
His photographic credentials were forged at the 1986 World Cup Final in Mexico when, as a 20-year-old press photographer, he captured an iconic image of Argentinian captain Diego Maradona holding aloft the coveted trophy.
The picture was syndicated globally, and David went on to cover major sporting events including the Olympic Games before later specialising in the natural world and visual narrative.
Now one of the best-selling photographers in the world, his work is on display in leading galleries and museums across Europe and North America.
Since 2018, David’s work has raised more than $11 million for philanthropic and conservation organisations including charitable collaborations with Cindy Crawford, Cara Delevingne and Chris Hemsworth.
The globe trotter has journeyed to some of the most remote parts of the world to capture lions, tigers, elephants, orangutans, panthers, bears and bison in their natural environments, portraying them in large-scale monochrome images.
Developing his craft to include staged elements, David’s storytelling series brings cinematic images to life on a breathtaking scale.
Scenes inspired by stories from the Wild West to the Pirates of the Caribbean are staged in fascinating locations, with the leading roles portrayed by some of the biggest names in Hollywood, the modelling world, and professional sports.
In June 2022, golfing legend Gary Player collaborated with David on a photoshoot at St Andrew’s, to pay homage to 150 years of the Open Championship.
Proceeds from the shoot went to The Gary and Vivienne Player Foundation which helps provide underprivileged and vulnerable children with a safe and nurturing environment in which to thrive.
