Manhattan, New York – 2026
“I was on duty at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah, when forecasts of a massive cross-state winter storm started to hit TV channels. The storm would stretch North East all the way from Texas to Boston and what particularly interested me was the expectation of a foot of snow in one day in New York City.
I had always wanted to photograph Manhattan in an intense blizzard and the fortunate news was the storm was going to land on a Sunday when most public areas would be light of working people. Anyone sensible or anyone following the new Mayor’s advice would not be leaving home.
I am familiar with the area immediately outside the NYSE building, having filmed there before and recognised its visual potential in a white out. I had just enough time to organise our “wolf ” and his handlers to get up from California, but speaking engagements restricted me to flying in on the red eye on Saturday night and hoping to arrive before JFK shut.
As it was, I made it from Salt Lake City with a couple of hours to spare and then, as predicted, the city was hit with the biggest one-day snowfall since 1905. These are the opportunities we long for and thanks to quick thinking and good logistical back up from my team, I was exactly where I needed to be. This was about to be an historic day in the epicentre of the world.
By about 11am, snow was accumulating at 2 inches an hour and filming a subject further than 3 feet from the camera was challenging. However, the composition I was looking for would necessitate the wolf being very close and then working with my most extreme wide-angle lens. My preference was for the wolf ’s face to be caked in snow and the conditions guaranteed that.
A bonus was that the extreme cold served to amplify the steam escaping through one of the nearby maintenance holes. This added to the visual depth of a New York story and I knew I could use the steam to my advantage.
What a morning, and huge thanks to my friend – the Texan model Holly Graves – who entered this winter wonderland with all the energy and enthusiasm that I have come to expect from her. It was not a day for precious people; it was a day for those with a visceral commitment to their craft.”

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 Usual Suspects II
Montana – 2024
Archival Pigment Print
“The first time that I set foot in Montana, I knew I was in a very special place. It was not just the majesty of the scenery, it was the characters that lived there. I have long had a visceral attraction to the Wild West and no state embodies the final frontier of America more than Montana. In the hills in the winter, there is a sense of timelessness. The clock seemingly broke about 100 years ago.
Over the last few years we have been fairly relentless networking up in a village in the mountains. I have been there 7 times and we have invested emotionally as well as financially in order to be able to tell stories with the camera. This week – on Robbie Burns night – appropriately enough – we had our reward. There was no point attempting this without a solid base of locals that genuinely wanted to help.
I know this bar in the mountains inside out and the locals know me. Everyone wanted a role in the shoot, but we had to be selective. I wanted ex-convicts, wolf wranglers, wannabe Davey Crocketts and crazy old mountain men that are drunk by 11 am. But it needed more – the barmaid had to have the right look – as she would be pivotal to the image – as would the chosen mountain man. It would be a key juxtaposition. I found the girl – Roxanna Redfoot (what a name) – from Dallas and she was brilliant.
The wolf I could rely on – I have worked with him before and so long as he doesn’t tire I had a chance. But there is no light in the bar – so it as all seat-of-the-pants stuff technically – there was no margin for error in focus. A flash gun would destroy the emotion and sense of place.
As I expected, most of the photographs were not sharp or someone messed up (including me). The composition was always however bang on. I just needed one stroke of luck – 1 / 125th of a second that would capture Montana. I think we nailed it!
“The Usual Suspects”…indeed.”

The Power of the Dog
The Rocky Mountains, 2022
This winter photograph is all the better for the cinematic crop. It gives context and allows me to capture as much falling snow as possible. A long and heavy snowfall was just coming to its end and I was knee deep at the time. A bit like the image Bearish from last summer of the mother bear in the rain, it is the snowfall that really lifts this portrait.
These are not easy images to get, and when the opportunity comes, the key part of the craft is to be acutely sensitive to the need for the eyes to be razor sharp. The most telling part of the photograph is the eyes and what they convey; as with humans, they are the window to the soul.

The Focused Wolf
Montana, USA 2015
Jim Brandenburg’s iconic shot of half a wolf’s head peering out from behind a tree, arguably marked the moment that wildlife photography became art. All those that ply Jim’s trade have much to thank him for – after all that single image – which can never be repeated – elevated the business of taking top tier wildlife imagery to an art form that was collectable.
I often ask myself to articulate what was so special about his photograph. I tend to home in on the simplicity of the image as well as its menace and the rule breaking incompleteness. It nails the character of the animal and the behavior that defines it.
Wolves may indeed have menace , but they are also unquestionably beautiful. I can’t compete with the Brandenburg shot and nor when I went to Montana, did I want to even try. There is no mileage on borrowing ideas, but I recognised the power of simplicity.
There are two aspects of my picture that make it quite special. Firstly, the limited depth of field brings every human eye to the wolves eyes – this was mathematically necessary as the low early morning light required opening up the lens aperture, but it was also the way to play the idea. A nice coincidence.
The other aspect to me is that the wolf is such a smart and focused animal and therefore I wanted to be sure that he was portrayed with crystal clear focus too. There is no room for lack of sharpness – that would not do this alpha animal justice.
It was very cold , but I guess that is conveyed.

I Am Pure Alpha
Gary, Indiana 2017
This is my classic style. The camera is below the wolf’s eyes, the background is clean and without tension points and the wolf’s eyes are pin sharp. The beauty is in the uncluttered simplicity of the image. The limited depth of field allows the subject to pop and give the viewer no cause to be distracted. Less can be more when the objective is portraiture rather than storytelling or decisive moment photography.
Intuitively a portrait of a beautiful wolf should follow the same principles of glamour photography because the wolf is such a glamorous animal and that attribute must be emphasized above all others.
The clarity of this image – given the limited available light – would not have been possible a few years ago. I think it offers an insight into the animal’s soul.
He is simply being an alpha wolf. On point, intelligent and poised.

Encroachment
Nevada City, Montana – 2017
I probably owe a great deal to the photographer Jim Brandenburg. I have never had the privilege of meeting him, but his iconic picture of half a wolf’s head jutting out from behind a tree is widely ascribed as a key moment in the history of wildlife photography. This was the day when transcending wildlife photography started to be regarded as art.
I am a fine art photographer, not a wildlife photographer, and so I sit somewhere in the middle of this debate. I don’t use long lenses unless I absolutely have to – polar bears and tigers being two cases in which they are helpful. Telephoto lenses compress the image and with it the chance of capturing something deeply evocative.
I do find many wildlife photographs very dull. It is not enough to see an animal and then photograph it – that is akin to google mapping and it is not art. Many wildlife photographers fall into the trap of believing that documentation is enough and it is not.
This image is deliberately reductive and there is no lofty ambition. But therein lies its strength. It is a paradox that white is such a strong colour and it is probably at its best in abstract imagery with no depth of focus. There was about an inch of focus here and it was well used.

Sweet Home Chicago
Chicago, Illinois 2017
Chicago is a magnificent city. It is the home of modern architecture and has one of the most beautiful skylines in the world. The people of Chicago are sophisticated and globally minded. Yet, when you pass someone on the street, you will be greeted with a welcoming smile. Our city rests on the shores of one of the greatest lakes in the world with a magnificent river that runs through it. From its architecture to its geographic location, Chicago is ranked as one of the top cities in the world. Ask anyone who visits our city.
Last November, legendary photographer David Yarrow made the journey from London to Chicago with a vision of photographing a wolf in our city. After hours of shooting into the night, David and his team brilliantly captured this magnificent animal in the foreground of our city’s most prominent architecture along the Riverwalk off of Wacker Drive.
We would like to give special thanks to the City of Chicago, the Chicago Film Office and the Chicago Police Foundation for their support with permits, location and for making this possible.
