Encounter

Auteur

David Yarrow started to show an interest in photography in his mid-teens. In 1986, while at Edinburgh University, he was named Young Scottish Photographer of the Year and later that year he was sent to cover the World Cup. His picture of Maradona holding the Cup is still published on a regular basis. He then embarked on a career in the City, which he successfully continues today, and is now a Getty Affiliated photographer - his shark predation image was printed in over 70 newspapers and magazines across the world. His first book Nowhere raised over GBP125,000 over two print runs for children's charities, and sold out within six weeks of its launch into the global book market.
