I am drawn to places where big skies light up the big amphitheaters below - like Amboseli in Kenya and Monument Valley in Utah. These days I find myself increasingly leaning towards more cinematic work and deliberately seek locations that allow for this. The more obscure the location, the more I am energized. Monument Valley is a little too mainstream these days, whereas the mountains of Turkey sounded a little more intrepid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout my career I have always tried to use natural landscapes as part of a wider story - just as legendary filmmakers such as John Ford and David Lean did to such great effect and more recently Roger Deakins in his Coen Brothers collaborations.  I have rarely worked in a studio and find sweeping vistas a far more helpful accomplice backdrop than a green screen. There is no doubt I find inspiration in film.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe balance between the layers of a story in a single frame is not a science and sometimes negative space can work very well where the subject matter is dwarfed by the enormity of the vista. It is a deliberate leveraging of scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn this occasion, however, there is some parity as the scale of the vista is matched by the size of the horse herd.  For that to happen with this backdrop, I needed an army of horses and that was exactly what I got.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere were some pretty horses in that herd, but it is all about the size of the unit, not the individual. There is a pleasing amount of detail in the image given the low light and the dust and I like the dog overseeing the action in the background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e~ David Yarrow\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David Yarrow","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43080869609543,"sku":null,"price":60000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1213\/7518\/files\/TheUnit_B_W.jpg?v=1786452726","url":"https:\/\/sorrelsky.com\/products\/the-unit-b-w","provider":"Sorrel Sky Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
