    His photographs are just amazing! Hope to get that good or close to it at least someday.

    You just can't beat B+W photography.No matter how good a full colour image is, a good B+W photo will, in most cases, trump it.Why, I just don't know.

  5. ClydeL Williams says

    Outstanding video, Mr. David has motivated me to try something new as a young/new photographer. Thank you.

  6. the last ace says

    I audibly gasped at these photos haven't done that with many photos

  7. D bur says

    Wow…. absolutely beautiful work!

  8. Dayron Films says

    Why black and white tho?

  9. Geoffrey Froment says

    This video look like a joke. White man speaking english , going to Africa with huge DSLR, making a lot of pictures and selecting one. Typical colonial british bullshit.
    This video is half funny half sad

    It was the best review with photographer I ever saw! I never heard about David Yarow but from now I'm a huge fan of this person and his work. Thanks YouPic for this review!

    As a photographer, I think too much emphasis is put on the photographer and his gear, rather than the location, weather, lighting, and timing the photographer had. Many of us would have similar shots if we had the funds and time as those we put on pedestals like this. Yeah, I'm jealous, but I'd love the chance to prove my opinion wrong…

  12. clive de Klerk says

    Your work is awesome love it.

  13. Baruch Cohen says

    I'm really curious about his gear. That level of resolution and pop screams 'medium format.' If he is shooting 35mm, the Nikon D850 would be the only camera in my mind, that could pull that off.

    Beautiful……

  15. Craig Phillips says

    Wow! talk about inspiration. These photos are phenomenal! Right then fellow photography fans, I have a question…. I currently use an entry level DSLR and looking to upgrade and have my eyes on the following cameras (want to remain with Canon and crop sensor for my existing lenses): Canon 77D, 80D or 7Dmkii. I won't really be using video that much so image quality needs to steal it. My images won't be printed larger that A3 and the majority will be on Instagram and featured in a small magazine. I've read tons of reviews but usually get great advice in comments. Am I right in thinking, 70D would be best for video but either 80D or 7Dmkii for photos? any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all

    how much editing goes into the striking black and white images? Photoshop etc,

  17. angelisone says

    Multimillionaires shoot them with high power rifles.
    Today shooters, that claimed pro photographers, shoot RAW and cheat always w/computer.

    How about show us you original shots first?
    Then show everyone how many steps you had to cheat by using a computer?

  18. REC1 Productions says

    Now this guy is from my era of photography! He's also as real as they get. Very Excellent animal photographer better than any I've seen before. He would of been a LIFE magazine lead photographer, to bad that mag ended. Excellent! Thanks for this!

  24. theUKtoday says

    just when you think your photographs meet the grade ~

  25. canturgan says

    Most photographs of beautiful women use medium telephoto lenses.

  26. Glen Joubert says

    Love your work David.Just something about nature that makes one stand still and take note.

  27. ianrkav says

    How does he get that fine art image quality though?

  28. Tom Tafola says

    Are you using slide film??????

  29. Dav Dave says

    Just learnt more about composition and light in eleven minutes than in the last five years..

  30. jjgomez says

    What I admired the most about Mr. Yarrow is the simplicity of his approach. By studying the animal to be photographed and position yourself in the correct moment and time have been the true essence of Mr. Yarrow photographic skills. His compositions speak for themselves. Not only are they stunning but also inspiring.
