Bond
GLENCOE, SCOTLAND – 2025
Archival Pigment Print
Glencoe offers one of Scotland’s grandest locations, especially at the denouement of a winter storm. This panoramic was taken about 20 minutes after the snow had stopped fallen and clouds still covered the cone shaped volcanic monolith of Buachaille Etive; there is an emphatic sense of place and sense of mood. We were very fortunate to be here in these conditions and we were all very rather humbled by the vista in front of us.
This is the celebrated gateway to the Scottish Highlands and a land known not just for its natural beauty, but for its bloody past, particularly the Clan feuds between the MacDonalds and the Campbells. The drive through Glencoe encourages a silent historical musing as intense as any road I know in the world. Shit happened here.
But there is also an untamed regality to the region that has long drawnfilmmakers and, of course, this goes full circle, as this remote part of the world has long been associated with the Fleming family and particularly Ian Fleming – the creator of James Bond. He lived here before moving to Jamaica in 1946.
A pivotal sequence in the 2012 Bond movie “Skyfall” was shot on the road down from the A82 to what was Ian Fleming’s nephew’s shooting lodge – Dalness. The location was well chosen and all those that are drawn to the mournful beauty of Scotland, appreciated the subtle alchemy between Bond’s DB5 and the quintessential Highland topography. I doubt any other Bond location has as many daily visitors as that Glen Etive Road.
This photograph was taken near the entrance to that road on the West Highland Way. We had watched the weather forecast every day for 10 daysbefore the shoot and not in our wildest dreams did we ever expect the light and the snow cover to be this kind to us. We still had to move quickly with the props and I had to find compositional balance in my frame, but the weather was the transcending component. We were back at Dalness for breakfast.
This photograph is personal. Scotland is my home and I think we did Glencoe proud. No wonder Sam Mendes chose to shoot here in the Skyfall movie and the truth is that we got luckier than him with the weather.
I would like to thank the Alba Police force and Phil Fleming for their help in making this shoot happen.

The Home of Bond
GLENCOE, SCOTLAND – 2025
Archival Pigment Print
Ian Fleming – the creator of James Bond – was the grandson of Scottish financier Robert Fleming, who was a material landowner in the Highlands. One of the most coveted estates in the family was Dalness in Glen Etive, near Glencoe. Before WW2, Ian Fleming spent many days in this most dramatic of locations and this did not escape the attention of British Director Sam Mendes, who used the very same estate and glen as the location for the climax of his 2012 Bond movie – Skyfall. This is Scotland at its untamed best.
The road off the A82 from Glencoe to Dalness attracts camera heavy tourists, in part because of its volcanic beauty, but also because of Skyfall. I was keen to use the exact location where Daniel Craig and Judi Dench had a moment of reflection outside his parked Aston Martin DB5. After that, all hell broke loose.
With the help of the Alba traffic department of the Scottish Police, we were able to secure permits to briefly close the road. We were fortunate with the weather; this is not a blue-sky place and ideally, we wanted some snow and a hint of menace in the sky. There is a mournful beauty to the highlands that is visually compatible with flat light and low cloud. The sky falls low in Scotland. This was a personal shoot for me given my heritage and my early childhood memories of skiing in Glencoe. Every shoot matters, but this one had an edge. The crew all stayed at Dalness and I think that put us in the right spiritual zone to do justice to Ian Fleming.
I want to thank the Fleming family, Torquil McAlpine and Alba for their support and help with this project.

Untamed
Telluride, Colorado- 2024
Archival Pigment Print
“Established in 1885, the saloon at the New Sheridan in Telluride, Colorado plays to the lore of the loosely governed Wild West. A great deal has gone on in this building over the last 140 years and I sense that not much of it would have earned the participants an easy stairway to heaven. The irony is, that given the bar sits at an altitude of 9200 feet, the alleged climb would be considerably shorter than most. The saloon has the whiff of vice and is probably all the better for it. It was a place where only four generations ago, saloon girls and grizzly gold prospectors bettered each other’s lives night after night.
In 1889, just one building down from the New Sheridan saloon, Butch Cassidy staged his first bank robbery. He and three mates ran off with $31,000 from the San Miguel Valley Bank – a load of cash in those days. There were no lawmen in sight, it was very much The Wild West. In my giddy western revisionism, I always demand strong faces and this tableau is a narrow smorgasbord of Western archetypes. The calculus involved in the casting and then the composition of that cast in a single vignette is vital if we are to pay effective homage to famous saloons such as the New Sheridan. It is a good canvas on which to tell stories.
Attention to detail in placing cast members is the epicentre of what we do and I think we have learnt from our many mistakes over the years. Everyone in this photograph has earned their place at the table and what a good dinner table that would be. There would be little in the way of moral compass, but there would be a dogged determination and a pursuit of the American dream. There is much to applaud in those attributes.
This was my first time working with Kelsey Asbille – a key cast member in the iconic Yellowstone series and a delightful and down to earth actress. She brought great energy to the set as well as her South Carolina charm and many stories of the excellence of Taylor Sheridan’s direction. I was keen not to be seen as a regression and that was a tough order. Kelsey knows the camera well and the camera loves her. Her eyes were my single point of focus and I asked her to look untamed. She delivered that look for sure as, indeed, did everyone else.
I want to thank Ray Farnsworth – the proud owner of the New Sheridan Hotel and its famous saloon – for hosting our crew and looking after us all so well. Do stay there: the staff are delightful; the food is excellent and it is no longer untamed.” – David Yarrow

Last Christmas
Telluride, Colorado- 2024
Archival Pigment Print
“The main street in Telluride looking west towards the colossal mountain that will bully it forever, is one of America’s great visual overloads. That is why every year hundreds of thousands of tourists stand where I knelt to take a picture. Like the Grand Canyon and Monument Valley, it is a ground zero for selfies and maybe the location deserves a little better. It should elicit not just our phone’s attention, but a deep respect for Americana and the Final Frontier. The fact that a 150 years ago a village was built up here at 9,000 feet in Box Canyon is a telling insight into the determination of the first settlers.
I have filmed on Main Street a few times, but never with a car and I sensed that there could be potential to tell a period story. In my creative processing I built in a few key components: a classic car; an empty and snow caked street with no signs of modernity and a model whose styling played to the era of the car. If that was not greedy enough, I needed my wolf – Klondike. I wanted parody as well as glamour.
Closing down that street is not easy and I am hugely appreciative of the Major of Telluride – Teddy Errico – and his staff for their support on 14th December 2024. Without the film permit, the road closure and the parking restrictions, there was no picture.
But the best photographs always come down to the last 1% and on this occasion the key 1% was just luck. The early morning temperature, on that one morning when we were permitted to close the street and bring in my cast, led by the beautiful Josie Canseco, turned out to be the coldest of the winter so far and that changed every visual dynamic. At dawn it was only about 10 °F and the extreme cold amplified the heavy exhaust fumes from the 1955 Austin Healey. This offered an opportunity to isolate the model from the backdrop and elevate the photograph. It was not something that I had considered in my planning, but I will most certainly take it.” – David Yarrow

Ralphie The Buffalo
Boulder, Colorado- 2024
Archival Pigment Print
“The epicentre of the University of Colorado is Folsom Field – a 53,000 capacity stadium where the college football team – the Colorado Buffaloes – play their home games. Opened in 1924, the horseshoe-shaped stadium sits at over one mile above sea level, making it one of the highest sports stadiums in America, higher even than the Broncos’ famous home down the road in Denver.
Until recently, the Buffaloes struggled to fill the stadium on game day, but the arrival of Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders in 2023 flipped the narrative overnight and attendance rose 25% to its 53,000 capacity. From sitting somewhat on the periphery, the Colorado Buffaloes are now very much a story in US college football.
In October 2024, I visited Folsom Field for an evening game to film the arrival of the famous team mascot – Ralphie the Buffalo – into a packed stadium heaving with anticipation and excitement.
I had studied video of previous entrances and made a judgement on the best position on a risk-reward basis. My preconception was that I needed to convey the sense of a stadium full to capacity as well as, of course, capturing the spectacle of Ralphie in full flow.
I want to thank CU for its support and partnership in this project, which will raise money for the Athletic department and those that look after Ralphie. We wish Coach Prime all the best in his crusade in Boulder – he certainly has had a material impact.” – David Yarrow

The Winter Season
Jackson Hole, Wyoming – 2024
Archival Pigment Print
“The onset of winter divides opinion: for some it is a time of increased cost of living and a daily life with less optionality; for others it is eagerly anticipated as a time of celebration, festivities and the possibility of winter sports. Winter rewards some and punishes others.
But there is perhaps unity in the idea that this time of year can showcase the world at its visual best. For filmmakers, snow offers an extra character for free and that is something we have always embraced. It is a time to be in the field and not huddled by the fireplace watching movies.
This image of a large bull moose in the sage flats in Teton National Park has an emphatic sense of winter and that was my goal. It had snowed about six inches the night before and the photograph, taken around 07.30am, is elevated by the fresh snow cover and the sign of an early winter storm lifting. There is no better time to photograph than at the end of a snowfall; the flat light enhances the ethereal splendour of what the storm has left behind.
We have learnt a great deal about moose behaviour and we know each situation is different. They can be extremely dangerous animals and should not be approached. This photograph was taken after three days monitoring the behaviour of this specific bull. “ – David Yarrow

The Big Moose
Jackson Hole, Wyoming – 2024
Archival Pigment Print
“The grandeur of the Tetons has been celebrated by artists for 150 years. It was an integral part of Thomas Moran’s life and, of course, the mountain range played a material role in the photographic journey of Ansel Adams. His legacy still holds a tight grip on a Jackson Hole community hosting hundreds of capable photographers every week.
As an artist, it is a place in which to enjoy the visual overload rather than attempt to break new ground; that would be a fine trick. I have long been an admirer of the photographer Tommy Mangelsen whose body of work is a love letter to this pocket of America. For many years we have shared the same New York Publisher – Rizzoli – and he sets a high bar with his body of authentic images in the Tetons and beyond.
I have a good friend in Jackson, who, for many years, has made a living by ploughing snow on private roads in the winter months. It is his business to know every road in the community and in the days before my arrival he scouted the land either side of these single-track roads for big bull moose. They are not that hard to find in the area near Kelly – especially in late November and December – but I needed to be in situ very early in the day.
It was never going to be easy to get a Cigar Shot as there needs to be a sense of place in any picture taken here. Not to include the Tetons in the frame would be akin to filming in Zermatt and not including the Matterhorn. They are on a par as backdrops.
To have the Tetons as a canvas requires a high cloud or no cloud and I have always tended to prefer flat light rather than shooting with a harsh sun behind me. But there is a small window after sunrise when the sun finally hits the flats, but not in a garish way. I guess there is about 15 minutes of softness when the camera has every opportunity to capture textural detail and employ meaningful depth of field.
In those 15 minutes, we just got lucky with this one fraction of a second and I thank my friend Westy for all his homework, his eyesight and his understanding of moose behaviour.” – David Yarrow
