There is no point going backwards. My new variable this time was Cara Delevingne and her established team of stylists and hair and make-up artists.

It played to the layered narratives that I often employ, with the towering mountain in the distance and the almost perfectly intact 1890 mine shaft in front. If I could configure a strong enough foreground, there was certainly a frame to be had. Mondrian taught us about the power of blending primary, secondary and tertiary and I felt it could be applied here. The idea was to style the shoot in sympathy with the peak of Creede’s mining production in 1893 when over 15,000 people lived in the area. With the help of the local theatre group and extras from all over the county, we managed to have 100 or so dressed miners on set at 6am one freezing March morning.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt’s not easy working with so many individuals on set and I steadily narrowed down the lead characters.

This was no place for the frail or the precious and Cara and the boys captured the mood just right.

An imposing vertical cliff face bullies main street and adds to the sense of ‘a town at the end of the line’. Creede plays to the lore and mythology of the wild west and consequently is awash with tourists during the summer. However, in the mid-winter, the place has an abandoned look to it and this was always going to be the best time to film.

Leadville is America’s highest town and, like many old Colorado mining towns high in the mountains, it has largely escaped modernity and is all the better for it. This is a working town that doubles up inadvertently as a one stop film set. To walk down the main street is to enter the world of Taylor Sheridan. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe saloon proudly declares the date of its birth on the outside - 1879 - and my idea was to go forward 100 years to the 1970s when the famous Colorado ski resorts near \u003cbr\u003eLeadville such as Vail and Aspen were gaining traction with the stars of Hollywood. I wanted to pair 1970s ski fashion with what remains of the final frontier and see how the union played out. My sense was that the glamour could be accentuated by the contrast with what sat behind. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI had a card in my hand in having my fellow Brit, Cara Delevingne, as my muse and with Cara almost anything is possible. She is one the world’s leading models for good reason and styling her is a joy not a chore. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe final photograph is elevated by the snow and the snowfall. Falling snow adds another character into a still image for free and on that freezing Monday morning the intensity of the falling snow was just about right. Too heavy a snow fall can create trouble, but we were not compromised visually that day - which was lucky. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI am sure someone at some stage has taken a picture like this outside the Silver Dollar Saloon, but I have yet to see it, so perhaps we got there first with this idea.

There can be few cities in the world more photographed than London and to tell a story that would resonate with a content spoilt audience, we had to be at our very best.

It hadn’t properly rained in this part of the Kanaan Desert for two years, but the day we arrived for one of our most ambitious productions, it started to properly rain. You could not make this shit up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut this poor weather created an opportunity not a threat, as it always does. Although the storm cleared through the night, it was still unseasonably cold and when we arrived at the top of the sand dunes at dawn, the distant mountains were enveloped in low cloud. This is most unusual and added a whole new element to what I already knew was a visually intoxicating location. The wind had also left new textural patterns in the sand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe positioning of Cara and the cheetah on the ridge of the dunes lends a pleasing compositional balance to the picture. It was not all down to fortune and I could not have done this without the help of the Naankuse team in Namibia and in particular Rudi and Marlice Van Vuuren. It also helps that I know the dunes well; any filmmaker must make decisions quickly at sunrise in the desert. The light I needed to amplify the beauty of the content is only gifted for a brief period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe real credit goes to Cara Delevingne though, what a force of nature she is and a total professional.

There tends to be just three or four iconic images that transcend the overall body of work and will always be remembered. These three or four shots define a career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI was not sure where my career would take me, and I was not sure if I had taken an iconic image yet — I let others decide. But I do know that this photograph, part of the TAG Heuer “Don’t Crack Under Pressure” campaign, is probably one of the most powerful shots I have ever taken. Yes, it was a commercial shoot with one of the world’s most famous women, but I think it goes beyond that. It grabs the eye and then holds it in a viselike grip. Everything about the work is viscerally powerful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI look back on that day with great emotion. There are so many people to thank, none more so than the British icon Cara Delevingne. She is of course stunning, but she is also authentic\u2028and intelligent and couples these qualities with an admirable work ethic. Furthermore, on this day she was incredibly brave and fittingly did not crack under pressure. This image is\u2028not manipulated; there were five yards between her and the lion. At no stage did she show tension or anxiety, and that made my job so much easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI think a key to the image was the reasonably powerful late-afternoon sunlight, as the shadows on both Cara and the lion are so consistent that the authenticity of the image can’t be questioned. In the morning, the light was flatter, and thus the lion and Cara were not as visually linked as they are here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis campaign would not have been possible without the help of Kevin Richardson in South Africa and I thank him for the awareness he brings to the plight of the lion in Africa. We know each other so well and that day in December in South Africa was the culmination of a trust that has built up over 5 years of working with each other. Finally, I would like to thank Jean-Claude Bivet - the genius behind TAG Heuer - and Valerie Grande for always wearing a smile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e~ David Yarrow\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"David Yarrow","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41924405526599,"sku":null,"price":99999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1213\/7518\/files\/David-Yarrow-sorrel-sky-gallery-Photographic-Print-Cara-Cigar.jpg?v=1755291322"},{"product_id":"saturday-night-live","title":"Saturday Night Live","description":"\u003cp\u003eLARGE - Edition of 20\u003cbr\u003eUnframed 56” x 81”  |  Framed 71” x 96”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSTANDARD - Edition of 20\u003cbr\u003eUnframed 37” x 54”  |  Framed 52” x 69”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaking these two old mountain men to this sensational saloon in southern Montana was a logistical challenge.

I am now fully familiar with the story of the Scandinavia emigration to the West 120 years ago and indeed all his lovers.
