until 24.01. | #4838ARTatBerlin | CAMERA WORK shows from 22. November 2025 an exhibition by the artist David Yarrow.
The exhibition shows works from David Yarrow’s ongoing themes The Natural World and Storytelling, which are characterised by their cinematic composition. The deliberate use of light and shadow creates a tension that echoes the visual compositions of classic Hollywood productions. This visual language gives the works a strong narrative layer and elevates Yarrow’s animal portraits in particular beyond a purely documentary character. References to places of longing, sporting events or cinematic scenes from the collective memory are elements in the artist’s work that create emotional spaces in which nature, culture and aesthetics merge to create iconic visual worlds. David Yarrow realises his photographic projects in various international locations, including the USA, South Africa, China, Great Britain, Scho’land and Italy.
About David Yarrow
David Yarrow was born in Glasgow in 1966. His passion for photography began early on. At the age of 20, he took the legendary portrait of the jubilant cup winner Diego Maradona in the final of the World Cup in Mexico City for The London Times. Yarrow turned to artistic photography much later, devoting himself to nature and wildlife. This decision had a lasting impact on his career, and Yarrow’s passion for storytelling gradually took on a greater role in the creation of his works. The photo artist’s works are represented in internationally renowned museums and public and private collections. His photographs are available in exclusive editions and are highly valued on the primary and secondary art markets.
Philanthropy is an important part of David Yarrow’s work. Since 2018, the artist has raised more than $20 million for charity and conservation organisations – including, in collaboration with Cindy Crawford, US$3 million for the UW Health Kids Cancer Care Charity and US$1.4 million for the #KoalaComeback campaign to support recovery efforts following the 2019/2020 bushfires in Australia. Following the outbreak of COVID-19, he helped raise over $1.4 million for the NHS National Health Service (NHS). David Yarrow also serves as an ambassador for various charitable organisations, including: The African Community and Conservation Foundation, Tusk, WildArk, The Kevin Richardson Foundation and Best Buddies. In September this year, David Yarrow was selected to photograph Adidas’ campaign for the launch of the official ball for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. That same month, he photographed the European Ryder Cup team at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge, exactly one week before the team’s historic away victory at Bethpage State Park Golf Course on Long Island, New York.
