A large portrait of a wolf walking atop the bar of a Montana saloon, surrounded by people exuding wild west-like characteristics, hangs on a large white wall in Aspen\u2019s Casterline Goodman Gallery.<\/p>\n

Adjacent to the frame, a similar sized black-and-white photograph of a young woman behind the wheel of a convertible with a cougar in her passenger seat, its paws resting on the top of the windshield, also is on display.<\/p>\n

As renowned British photographer David Yarrow looked around the local gallery at these two pieces, and the nearly dozen others he created, on Sunday he said it made him feel a sense of accomplishment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe picture is the final end product of a lot of homework,\u201d Yarrow said. \u201cIt\u2019s a pleasurable end of the journey.\u201d<\/p>\n

From taking a famous photo of Diego Maradona holding up the World Cup in 1986 to capturing images of bears, elephants and other mammals from as close a distance as possible, Yarrow is known for his evocative and immersive fine art photography of life, according to his website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After an over 60-hour trip from London to Aspen filled with flight delays and a drive in from Denver, Yarrow talked about how he photographs what is interesting to him, and saw a need for wildlife photography that evokes more emotion.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t like being labeled a wildlife photographer,\u201d Yarrow explained when asked about how he became interested in wildlife photography. \u201cI thought that it was time to increase awareness of what\u2019s going on in our world and that maybe animals are not being photographed in the way they could to illicit an emotional reaction.\u201d<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s not just the thoughtful reaction Yarrow is after. It\u2019s also about creating a sense of authenticity.<\/p>\n

He said he and his team spend a lot of time in the \u201cpreconception process,\u201d conducting a lot of research, planning every inch of each photograph down to the last detail and ensuring his work is bigger and better than before.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes I try to watch people\u2019s reactions; it\u2019s the rewarding part of the job,\u201d Yarrow said. \u201cI hope people look for a long time and I hope they see a level of detail they haven\u2019t seen before.\u201d<\/p>\n

Outside of his dedication to pushing boundaries and \u201cemptying the bucket\u201d for each photo he creates, Yarrow also said he is dedicated to giving back to charity.<\/p>\n

Across 2019, Yarrow said he raised more than $3 million for conservation organizations like Tusk Trust, WildArk and the Kevin Richardson Foundation. Yarrow said he knows that because he can sell his photos for thousands of dollars, it\u2019s important for him to be philanthropic.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know the idea \u2018invest with purpose, work with purpose.\u2019 This gives my work an extra meaning if I can raise a sum like $3 million to give back,\u201d Yarrow said.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Yarrow will host a talk with the public at the Casterline Goodman gallery from 3 to 4 p.m., where he plans to share the stories behind some of his work.<\/p>\n

He said Aspen is the 17th city he\u2019s visited this year to show his fine-art photography, and is happy he\u2019s finishing 2019 out with his pieces on display at Casterline Goodman.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a beautiful gallery that is perfect for my work,\u201d Yarrow said. \u201cThis is a great place to end the year in and a really high note to end on.\u201d<\/p>\n
