Behind the scenes of photographer David Yarrow's wildlife shots | Condé Nast Traveller

Always wondered how to take captivating pictures of dangerous wildlife? Celebrated fine-art photographer David Yarrow gets up close to his subjects, whether they’re bears in Alaska or hippos in the Zambezi. ‘I don’t like photographing an animal from 100 yards away, because you would never photograph a human from 100 yards away,’ he says. ‘The eyes are the window to the soul.’
In this video Yarrow, who started out photographing sports events as a rookie 20-year-old, talks us through the process behind some of his most famous wildlife shots. Travelling across the world, he times his shoots to capture his subjects at key moments.
From the beach in South Georgia where one million penguins gather in October, to the Norweigan archipelago that’s home to thousands of polar bears, but is so vast they’re incredibly hard to spot, Yarrow shares his favourite places around the world to take his camera.
