David Yarrow

David Yarrow is recognised as one of the world’s best-selling photographers. He has found his true comfort zone in capturing the animal and human world in a fresh and creative way. A key part of his success has been creating art through partnerships with a philanthropic objective and this has enabled him to work with leading figures in sport, fashion and Hollywood such as Cindy Crawford, Cara Delevingne, Ciara and Russell Wilson, and Alessandra Ambrosio. Since 2018, charitable donations from the sale of David’s images have exceeded $20m.

David Yarrow was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1966. He took up photography at an early age and as a 20-year-old found himself working as a photographer for The London Times on the pitch at the World Cup Final in Mexico City. On that day, David took the famous picture of Diego Maradona holding the World Cup and, as a result, was subsequently asked to cover the Olympics and numerous other sporting events. His distinctive work in recent years has earned him an ever growing following amongst art collectors.

Yarrow is now represented by some of the top contemporary galleries around the world. In the Autumn of 2025, Rizzoli will publish David’s fourth book titled ‘The Collection’ featuring 150 of his best images in a curated mix of yet-to-be-published and best-selling photographs.

Since 2024, David Yarrow has travelled to capture cinematic depictions of wildlife, landscapes, and narrative human. His most recent exhibition ‘The Collection' was hosted at Maddox Gallery from October to November 2025, which showcased new wildlife and theatrical storytelling works.
