- Storytelling

On Saturday November 11th and Sunday November 12th, 2023 Kunsthuis Amsterdam welcomes one of the world’s most renowned photographers – David Yarrow – for a presentation of his latest book Storytelling and opening of his like named exhibition.

In recent decades, the legendary British photographer David Yarrow has created unique images of some of the world’s most iconic personalities, sports moments, and endangered species. Photographer Yarrow’s journey (born in 1966 in Glasgow, Scotland) has been exceptional in every way. The attention to his work has translated into exceptional auction results and sales in recent years. Thanks to this success, David has been able to donate more than 12 million euros to charity to date, making him one of the most influential and successful photographers in the world.

In his latest book and exhibition ‘Storytelling’, Yarrow takes his work to the next level through tales of adventure and misadventure on an epic scale. This stunning retrospective of Yarrow’s storytelling work, has earned him even wider acclaim in the fine-art market. This assemblage of unmatched work brings the magic and brilliance of the big screen to still photography. Inspired by the great film directors, Yarrow tells his own cinematic stories – from the wide-open vistas of the American West to the beaches of the Caribbean, from the coasts of Alaska to the plains of Africa, and from the Sea of Cortez to an old saloon in Montana. Whether poignant, dramatic or provocative, the images always resonate deeply with their viewers.

 “On my journey, I increasingly use my camera to tell stories as opposed to take pictures. To the extent that art should be interpretative rather than literal; this is a progression”, – David Yarrow

With his exhibition – Storytelling – David Yarrow presents an exclusive collection of over 30 breathtaking photos from his recent body of work. As a tribute to his collaboration with De Kunsthuizen, David Yarrow has also selected 6 specially chosen photos to be released in a very limited edition of 6, each at a unique price. These photos, along with David’s latest book, will be available during the opening weekend.
