David Yarrow's Tenth Anniversary of "The Long March" Is a Tribute to His Commitment to the Arts

A little over ten years ago, David Yarrow photographed emperor penguins, the world's largest penguins, at Antarctica's Snow Hill. The most well-known of these photographs is "The Long March." A black-and-white photograph of ten penguins marching in a single line is unforgettable once seen. A flawless 90-degree angle was used to take the wide-angle photo.

"Capturing the beauty and intensity of Antarctica in a single still photograph is tough," Yarrow adds. On the world's coldest, driest, and most hostile continent, he traveled to Antarctica and negotiated the difficult terrain to capture the landscape and lives of emperor penguins and other species.

Yarrow's photo of Antarctic penguins, "The Long March," isn't the only one that stands out. He celebrated World Penguin Day by posting a photo of a mother and son penguin walking hand in hand. A juvenile penguin chick in another photograph is seen carefully helping another down an icy white hill. The "contentment" image of emperor penguin parents holding their beaks while covering their fluffy young is also notable.

David Yarrow has braved severe weather and dangerous conditions to capture the interior lives of animals in a variety of settings around the world, including the dark-and-light scene in Antarctica. Yarrow says, "The most fundamental difference between art and news is proximity and feeling."

Yarrow also investigates difficult areas on the other side of the world. On Natural World Safari excursions to both polar areas, he shares his knowledge and abilities with visitors. "78 Degrees North," another of his renowned photographs, depicted a polar bear walking above the Arctic Circle. The painting "79 Degrees North" was auctioned for £81,250 (roughly $106,589) in London in 2018.

Due to its numerous dramatic properties, such as floating ice sheets, tabular icebergs, and massive views that can include the Southern lights and gorgeous seas, Antarctica is exceptionally well-suited to landscape photography. Penguins are the most well-known Antarctic birds, although the region is also home to albatross, whales, and seals. David Yarrow Photography can address any queries you have about prints. "His photograph has an aesthetic simplicity about it that none of my other images from Snow Hill could equal," Yarrow remarked of "The Long March." Hundreds of incredible photographs have arisen from David Yarrow's unique approach to wildlife and environmental photography. The 2019 book David Yarrow includes 150 of Yarrow's most striking recent pictures, as well as an introduction by NFL legend Tom Brady and an afterword by Cindy Crawford. The 368-page book's earnings will all go to wildlife conservation organizations.
