EAST HAMPTON, NEW YORK

Acclaimed Photographer David Yarrow to Debut at Sorrel Sky Gallery's New East Hampton Location

Opening Reception July 18th Features Cinematic Photography That Redefines Contemporary Art

July, 2025

Sorrel Sky Gallery announces the highly anticipated arrival of internationally renowned photographer David Yarrow at its new East Hampton location. The British artist, whose elaborate cinematic productions have redefined photography, will be featured in an exclusive opening reception on Friday, July 18th, 6-8 p.m. at 58 Park Place.

For over two decades, Yarrow has transformed photography from simple documentation into a theatrical storytelling medium. His signature black-and-white images don't just capture moments—they construct entire scenes with the meticulous planning of Hollywood productions. From coordinating supermodels and A-list celebrities to orchestrating vintage automobiles and historic steam locomotives, Yarrow's process rivals the complexity of major film sets.

 

"David Yarrow doesn't take photographs—he creates visual symphonies," said Shanan Campbell, Gallery Owner. "His ability to blend raw natural power with sophisticated artistic vision makes him one of the most compelling voices in contemporary art today."

Yarrow's fearless approach has taken him from the African savanna to the Arctic tundra, often placing himself in extraordinary proximity to dangerous wildlife to achieve his dramatic perspectives. His images of grizzly bears, polar bears, and big cats are captured with an intimacy that few photographers dare attempt, resulting in photographs that pulse with tension and raw emotion.

What sets Yarrow apart is his ability to balance artistic integrity with commercial success while maintaining a deep commitment to conservation. Through limited-edition fundraising campaigns, he has raised over $15 million for charitable causes, supporting organizations such as Tusk Trust, WildArk, and the African Community & Conservation Foundation. This dedication to making a difference strengthens his legacy and elevates his market presence beyond mere aesthetics.

Yarrow reinvents the medium of photography with bold, cinematic quality that merges technical mastery with strategic storytelling. His large-scale prints command attention as conversation pieces, anchoring spaces with visual power that ensures lasting relevance. Whether documenting the raw intensity of lions, the haunting stillness of Arctic landscapes, or staging elaborate celebrity scenes, his work captures defining moments that reflect global trends, celebrity culture, and artistic innovation, creating treasured historical touchpoints for future generations.

The East Hampton exhibition will showcase Yarrow's most powerful works, including pieces that have commanded six-figure sales at auction and earned him recognition as one of the world's most collectible living photographers. His celebrity collaborations and high-profile commercial work have made him a favorite among collectors seeking art that bridges the gap between fine art photography and popular culture.

Event Details:

The exhibition marks a significant moment for Sorrel Sky Gallery's expansion into the prestigious East Hampton art scene, bringing Yarrow's internationally acclaimed work to one of America's most discerning collector communities.

Yarrow's photographs have been exhibited in galleries worldwide and are held in private collections across the globe. His unique blend of technical mastery, narrative storytelling, and death-defying dedication to his craft has established him as a singular force in contemporary photography.
