From watching football with Japanese hijackers to smuggling memory cards out of the country, Yarrow takes us through his eye-opening trip to uncover the real North Korea.

Episode 3: Polar Bears 

Trying to achieve that which other photographers have failed to, Yarrow travelled around the globe to get the perfect shot of a polar bear. Majestic but lethal, polar bears are poor candidates for portrait photography as getting too close can be fatal. Yet, in this episode, with the help of a few friends and a some knowledgeable locals, Yarrow executes his powerful polar bear photographs: 78 Degrees North (2017), Diamonds in the Sky (2018) and Hello (2015).
