"David Yarrow doesn't take pictures; he makes them. Critical of typical,documentary-style wildlife photography,the British fine-art photographer is known for getting up close to his subjects-even when they're apex predators.'The biggest difference between art and reportage is proximity and emotion,'he says. To achieve that difference,Yarrow might face a charging elephant,wait for the perfect 10 minutes of light,or spend 99 hours tracking a tiger. His new eponymous book features 150 of his most compelling photographs."-American Way Magazine
