Worth Avenue by David Yarrow – Fine Art Photograph of Poodle in a Car With Model – Available at Hilton Contemporary Gallery Chicago

Worth Avenue (Colour)

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.

    Palm Beach Girls (B&W)

    Palm Beach Girls

    Palm Beach, Florida – 2025

    Archival Pigment Print

    “The corollary of Palm Beach being the most exclusive enclave of wealth and privilege in America, is that it draws in the beautiful people. This is the way it works the world over, but maybe no more so than in Palm Beach. Love, lust and ambition are never too far beneath the surface. This may not be a place of work ethic, but it is a place of desire.

    In 1873 a shipwreck brought coconuts to the area leading to the planting of palm and the renaming of the area from Lake Worth Country to Palm Beach. But unfortunately these days there are not so many palm trees on the beaches – the town’s name cannot be taken too literally. But a couple of miles north of the island there are a couple of ideally positioned palms on Riviera Beach that have long grabbed my attention.

    The premise of photographing girls on a beach is something that slightly unsettles me. I am not a glamour photographer or indeed a fashion photographer, and it’s hardly a novel place to focus one’s lens. If the key to art is authenticity, the alarm bells start to ring when I walk onto a beach at sunrise with two models.

    But on this one occasion, in Palm Beach – the most idyllic and rarified of places to live – I felt that under these two lonely palm trees I could play to the vibe of Palm Beach and celebrate the beautiful world. We just needed to bring the right car onto the beach and work around that prop at sunrise.

    I needed compositional tightness and the right use of space; this was not a brand commercial and there was a necessity to make sure that we did all we could creatively. The girls understood my directive leaning and this helped enormously.”

        Palm Beach (B&W)

        Palm Beach

        Palm Beach, Florida – 2025

        Archival Pigment Print

        “Any photographic series on Palm Beach must surely pay homage to its two storied hotels: The Breakers and The Colony. Both landmark locations are tightly woven into the history of this idyllic community and have played host to legendary events. When Slim Aarons talked about “attractive people, doing attractive things in attractive places” he was giving a nod to these celebrated destinations.

        From my eye, The Colony is less about what goes on within, whether it be the cocktail parties, the endless poolside conversations or the bingo nights, and more about the emphatic sense of place offered by its storied pink façade. As much as any other hotel in the world, the entrance of The Colony is a microcosm of the community. The coral colour of the colonial style building and the green of the palm trees fuse in that subtle alchemy that is Palm Beach and meanwhile, those who arrive at the hotel are doing so to have fun not work. The Colony is the flag bearer of “Team Palm Beach”.

        I stayed at The Colony for a couple of nights before our shoot began and walked the nearby roads deliberating over what to do. The 1947 building is so tall and the entrance roads are so close to the building that it would be difficult to find a spot to celebrate the institution and tell a foreground story.

        But I realised there was one place on the bend of the road going southeast from Worth Avenue where I could get a car in the frame. The problem was that to get some space for my composition, the car would be going away from me. I mused over this riddle for a day and then, over an evening cocktail at the Colony, I found my solution. 

        The idea was solid, but we then had to execute it before the traffic became too steady. Frida Aasen – the Norwegian supermodel – played her role just as I asked and I walked along behind the slowly moving car. 

        I think this photograph does what I wanted it to do, just as the Colony Hotel does what its guests want it to do”

            “I want to thank American supermodel – Brooks Nader – for playing to my narrative that freezing January morning beneath the Tetons. She is very game; in fact, she may well serve as my enabler. Not many girls we work with could pull off that look in those temperatures. The Devil may well wear Prada, but Brooks wears very little, even when it is hellishly cold.

            If the town of Zermatt in Switzerland has the Matterhorn, then Jackson Hole has the Tetons. Both communities stand guarded by Twin Peaks mountains so dramatically grand that there is an extra sense of excitement on arrival. To land at Jackson Hole airport on a clear day is a thrill, even for the most travel weary of passengers; there is as pronounced a visual overload as there is at any airport in America. When I think about the town of Jackson, I find it impossible not to think about the Tetons. To me they are coupled at the hip.

            Grand Teton, at 13,775 feet, is the highest point of the Teton Range and it rises steeply from the valley floor 7,000 feet below. The amphitheatre has offered a great canvas for photographers to tell stories since the invention of the camera and we always work here fully aware that we are on well-trodden ground.

            This January morning we brought a cocktail of props to the Tetons, including a rather special Ford Bronco. But there is a need to work quickly; as soon as the sun gains some height and strength, the light becomes a little harsh for me. The window is no more than 15 minutes and I think we were home in Jackson for breakfast by 9 am.”
