The Cave

David Yarrow:

‘I have spent over 200 hours in the sweltering heat of Ranthambore, India over the last few years looking for tigers in places offering the chance of a big photograph. It is exhausting work and can often yield nothing as the backgrounds tend to be fairly messy. Tigers are rare and clean images of tigers even rarer. Our biggest moment came in 2019 when we found “tiger 57” shading from the sun in a cave. I knew immediately that an opportunity had availed itself and I do remember staying very calm and focused.’
