The White Lady (Colour)
Jackson Hole, Wyoming – 2025
“There is not much I would change with this photograph – it all came together in cold winter light looking out to the much-loved Mount Moran in Grand Teton National Park. I am not the first photographer to be drawn to the almost perfect symmetry and grandeur of this 12,000-foot-tall mountain and I won’t be the last.
The foreground had to have some punch and I think the combination of Josie Canseco and her travel companion in a 1953 Ferrari pushes a few boundaries. There is much to look at.
It was, however, the weather that made the shot. I needed fresh snow and a clear morning sky; without one or the other, there was no picture to be taken. The light becomes increasingly less kind on a sunny day and we knew that it would all be over by 8 am at the latest. The window of opportunity is less than 30 minutes.
During our week in Jackson, we had low sky and suboptimal light for 95% of the time. But we had one morning of clear sky and we took our chance. It was luck really, but I think we leveraged what we were given and that ultimately is the acid test. This image is now in the bag forever and that’s something to celebrate.
For those with a visual sensibility, The Tetons set a high bar; there is no mountain range in the Americas I would prefer as a backdrop and the Snake River Valley below offers so much opportunity to build stories. It is an amphitheater that demands a filmmaker’s A game – to be mundane or vanilla would be embarrassing.“

The Lady of the Lake
Eresfjord, Norway – 2025
“The grey frame of this 1948 Porsche 356 complements the snowy and misty backdrop of this winter’s day. There is a calm tonal balance to the photograph which would not have been possible if the sun had been out. There may not be 50 shades of grey, but there is a good dozen.
This is a coveted and highly valuable car and its shape is lauded by car enthusiasts. I knew that I had to capture it in profile on at least one shoot in Norway. This was the location in which to do so.
When we were planning this shoot, we had no idea that the west coast of Norway would be hit by a material early winter snowstorm. We considered this to be a fortunate break so long as we could get the car to the location, which was in an isolated fjord northeast of Molde.
Snow normally allows the photographer a little more light to play with and importantly it adds another layer to the story with no extra charge. We are big fans of working in the snow, especially in soft or low light. But it does also offer
logistical challenges in terms of access and consequently, in Norway, we work with seasoned professionals.
The Austrian model Nadine Leopold does an excellent job as the lady of the lake. There is a sovereignty to her pose and I think the cigarette adds a bad ass nonchalance to her character. She seems very much in control of the situation – whatever that situation might indeed be.
The Lady of The Lake was an influential narrative poem written by Sir Walter Scott in the early part of the 19th Century. Scott was from central Scotland ( just like myself) and hence I thought it as good a name for this photograph as any.“

Bad Asses II (Colour)
Kanaan Desert, Namibia – 2024
“This photograph has been in my head for many years. We have taken our fair share of bad ass pictures of girls in cars in America, but I always wanted to extend my reach to Africa and introduce a Mad Max type narrative. Rather than working in the mountains with snow, as we often do, it was time to work in the desert with sand.
I knew my girl for the shot – Cara Delevingne – and I knew that the hugely respected Naankuse Sanctuary in Namibia often work their cheetahs with film crews, and then I also knew the Kanaan desert well. But I needed a central prop to hold the whole idea together. I needed something of substance.
I had long deliberated over building a bar marooned in the middle of the desert. Not just a two-dimensional facade of a bar, but an actual functioning bar, with lights, cooling machines and entertainment.
I confess that there was quite a bit of talking to myself about the risk reward ratio and I became all to mindful of Walt Disney’s famous advice of “stop talking and start doing”. I like to have creative courage and be bold.
So, I threw my fears away and we built our bar in the desert. It is so damn good that we are going to keep it there for tourists to visit and perhaps have a cold Namibian lager. It was not a small building job and six lorries full of wood and corrugated iron made the eight-hour trip south from Windhoek. I have never worked with a more willing bunch of people in my life than the Namibian production team and they had earned the right to be very proud of The Desert Inn.
In a tableau photograph like this, I want to be greedy and broaden the story: the barman and the bushman on the far right are the little details that help. Cara looks sensational and, of course, that split second pose from the cheetah makes the photograph what it is.
It is a bad ass shot for sure and it is also a bad ass bar.”

Code Red II
Minturn, Colorado – 2024
“The railroad and mining community of Minturn – which dates to the 1880s – allows for some raw grit to saddle up to the shiny neighbouring resort town of Vail. The contrast between the two places is astonishingly stark, given that they are only three miles apart. Whilst Vail was styled by architects and designers on Alpine Bavaria, Minturn was styled by grizzly prospectors looking only as far as the next day.
Vail was built 80 years after Minturn and when the contractors finished a day’s shift, they would head west to the Minturn Saloon. It was the place to go and 60 years on, despite some remodeling and ownership changes, it remains exactly that. All those who know Vail, know the Minturn Saloon. Rather like the Woody Creek Tavern in Aspen, it has fostered a strong patronage over the years and when the doors open at 3pm, the bar fills at a speed to suggest that this is a special and loved destination. As always it is the people that make the places and this bar attracts a rich variety of clientele.
Part of the saloon’s appeal was that it was directly accessible by skis, by car, by foot and by horse and it therefore became something of a vortex at the end of the day. By the 1970s, the Minturn not only attracted cowboys, builders and miners, but the new bohemian hipster crowd from over the hill.
I am always drawn to the visual contrasts afforded to a filmmaker when a wild frontier destination is fused with glamour. This was the premise for this story. I saw a chance to play with the cold winter light that day and the result works pleasingly well in colour.
Alessandra Ambrosio is one of the leading models in the world and it was a pleasure to work with her. She certainly killed her look and showed why she is at the top of her game. We would also like to thank Austin Akers for the use of the beautiful 1956 Mercedes Benz 300 SL Gullwing.” – David Yarrow

Who Let the Dogs Out
Los Angeles, California – 2023
“This photograph is a small love letter to the city of Los Angeles. For all its vapidity, superficialness and elaborate coffee orders, there is no denying its pre-eminence in the entertainment world. It is a place where creatives go to be challenged, humbled and occasionally propelled forward. As the comedian Steve Martin once said “the key is to be so good they can’t ignore you”.
Sunset Boulevard is the spiritual heart of West Hollywood and that makes it one of the most famous stretches of road in the world. There are not many places where a road itself is a tourist attraction, but Sunset is exactly that. It is not just a perfunctory means of getting from A to B, it is a visual feast from the ground level tarmac to the Californian sky above. The enormous billboards that lean down from above create a two-sided amphitheatre that informs drivers of all that is present.
I have long found a visceral connection with Sunset Boulevard. I would go as far as to say it might be my favourite stretch of road in the world. It is possibly a subconscious prompt to get better at what I do and never to accept the average. Hollywood destroys the mundane and the callow and that is no bad thing.
This is a dog-eat-dog world and they certainly love their dogs in LA. There are more pet shops these days in the city than newsagents. One day, just before we were closing a section of Sunset Boulevard for a Sunday morning shoot, we were having lunch in Il Pastaio – my family’s favourite Italian restaurant in Beverly Hills – and our concentration on the menus was broken by the sight of three Pomeranian dogs arriving in their own scaled down Lamborghini. The only passengers were the dogs and it was being driven remotely down the street by their owner who was out of sight. Only in LA – we all thought – and I knew what needed to be done. It was time to rip up our plans for the Sunday and adapt.
I want to thank the dogs – Rocky, Apollo and Napoleon – for being so easy and gentle to work with. But most of all, I want to thank their owner Anne Frankel who is rightly so proud of her boys. She bought two of these dogs on the passing of her husband and I see the love they have for her and vice versa. They are adored by all who meet them.
Only in LA, but it’s a beautiful world.“

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Monument Valley, Utah – 2023
“This is not the first time we have asked former basketball player- Erica Lawrence – to travel to a far-off location so that we could fuse her magnificence with an equally spectacular car. First it was the San Bernardino Pass between Italy and Switzerland with a James Bond car and this time it was the heart of John Ford’s American West with a $60m Testarossa Ferrari. The car, driven by Sports Illustrated cover girl Brooks Nader, looks stunning against the iconic grandeur of Monument Valley and Erica’s body starts and finishes the story.
We enjoy rolling the dice a little and embracing parody: it doesn’t pay to be too earnest in storytelling. Stories are just that – stories. Taschen’s book Wheels and Curves showcased photographs from the roaring twenties that played on the alchemy between female form and the early motor car. For many it brought two of the finer things in life together and this was to be celebrated.
It is quite instructive that in the 1920s photographing this quite specific subject matter was seen as being a most laudable use of the camera. It was a category within the vast field of photographic subject matter. A photographer could turn his lens to landscapes, or war, or still life, but could equally photograph girls sitting erotically on cars.
Ostensibly, it would seem little has changed in the last 100 years.“

Testarossa
Monument Valley, Utah – 2023
“We have worked with some expensive props over the years and as our creative visions become more expansive and ambitious, there will no doubt be some surreal days ahead in the field.
However, it may be a long time before we can beat the thrill of taking a 1953 Testarossa to the most iconic stretch of the American Highway system – Forest Gump Point in Monument Valley.
There are so many people to thank for making the image I had in my head come to reality. Firstly we must thank the Navajo Nation and their elder Don Mose – who looked after us so well and entertained the crew to dinner. We were honoured to be their guests.
Brooks Nader is a great friend of the crew and always performs, irrespective of the cold or the long hours on the road. We like good energy and Brooks offers it at a level that is almost indecent.“

Worth Avenue
Palm Beach, Florida – 2025
“In my musings over how to pay homage to Palm Beach in one frame, I focused on the need to evoke a sense of leisure and a sense of place. Worth Avenue looking east ticked many boxes for me as the clock tower instantly locates the set and, if my composition was tight, the absence of modernity would allow me to tell a period story. If possible, I wanted to go back in time to add more to the narrative.
To write a love letter to this community without palm trees in the frame is sub optimal as they are integral to the vibe. It would be akin to paying homage to Aspen without any sense of snow or mountains. But dogs are almost as pivotal to the community as humans; to be dogless in Palm Beach seemingly risks social isolation.
The problem was closing the road down and, to the best of my knowledge, in recent years it’s been challenging to get the town council to agree to this. We have some friends on that committee, however, and agreement was reached so long as we finished filming before 8 am. This meant shooting directly into the rising sun and this limited our effective shoot time to about 20 minutes. When the sun rises above the clock tower it is simply too powerful to work into.
So, we had one shot at it and it was a true team effort. Nadine Leopold, the European supermodel, played her role perfectly as a carefree, dog loving, life loving resident of the community and luckily the poodle behaved at the right moment.
In my Palm Beach series, the starting premise was to be original in all that we did. There was simply no excuse for being hackneyed – that would be lame. The road shots had to be authentic and celebratory and according to the famous clock tower, I think we achieved that at about 7.40 am that morning.“
