“One of the locations for the Oscar winning movie Ford v Ferrari was Willow Springs racetrack, an hour northeast of Hollywood. When we knew we might have the opportunity to film there, I watched the scenes at the racetrack several times and I recognised that for a single image story to be successful, there had to be a definitive sense of place. The mountainous backdrop to the circuit defines it as much the 1950s buildings scattered around the pit area. In the movie, Matt Damon plays Carroll Shelby enlisted by Ford to try and compete on the racetrack with Ferrari. The film reaches its climax at Le Mans in 1966 where Shelby’s car gets the better of Ferrari. It seemed appropriate therefore to bring a 1966 Ford Mustang Shelby GT 350 as our principal prop in this period tableau. But our ambitions were high and our large cast was led by Cindy Crawford who I knew would own her role as a triumphant racer. She always delivers and has such presence in this photograph.
It is always validating to work with her and our commitment to our craft is never higher than on these occasions. Two days before we shot, I found myself sitting near Christian Bale at a West Hollywood restaurant and I remembered how integral he was to the movie. I knew a Texan model who could play to that vibe and my instincts were to quickly drag him in at the last moment. He slipped in the space behind Cindy and I think he elevates the image. It’s the little things. Motor racing enthusiasts will also see “The King” Richard Petty behind the car on the right. Richard, who won the Daytona 500 seven times, was a joy to have on set and added to the freewheeling joy of the day. The title of this photograph is fitting as Cindy Crawford and I were both born in 1966. I show my age, but Cindy certainly does not, as this special picture fully showcases. I would like to thank the team at CrossHarbor Capital Partners, led by Sam Byrne, for facilitating and encouraging this project and for inviting Richard Perry and Jimmie Johnson. But most of all, thank you to Cindy Crawford for being outstanding in her role.

GLENCOE, SCOTLAND – 2025
Archival Pigment Print
The entrance to the Glencoe pass in Scotland offers a volcanic amphitheatre in all weather conditions, but at the denouement of a snow storm there is a haunting menace to Buachaille Etive Mor, the cone shaped monolith that rises vertically to the west of the A82. This is a place where many bad things have happened over the years and the rawness of the topography gives a symbolic nod to that. Glencoe is not a place of lavender fields and sun kissed meadows; it is a primeval geological aberration of granite rock.
The pass is one of the most arresting visuals in the UK and I have filmed up here many times over the years. Of course, I am far from alone and the celebrated film director – Sam Mendes – chose Glencoe as a key location for Skyfall in 2012. I am sure his decision was influenced by the fact that the Fleming family has, for four generations, lived in the region and Ian Fleming himself spent many a day in the shooting lodge just 45 miles down the road to Glen Etive. This is most emphatically Bond country.
From the single-track West Highland Way running parallel to the main road, we were able to offer a sense of journey to Bond’s DB5 and the other props came to mind quite naturally. At first light, the red telephone box certainly popped against such a formidable backdrop and we had made sure the lighting inside the box was functional. That made all the difference and we are again reminded that it’s often the small things.
The strongest photographs have an emphatic sense of place and conveying this was acutely necessary to do justice to both the destination and the Bond parody. We did get lucky with the weather and also, I want to thank the Fleming family and the Alba police force for their help with this project. It was not a bad few days to spend in pursuit of my craft.

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
