Being John McEnroe

Edition of 20 available in color and B&W
Inquire for sizing and availability

The Silver Dollar Saloon at the Wort Hotel in Jackson Hole is a celebrated institution. There are quite a few bars scattered across the US sharing the same name, but I doubt many share the vice like grip that this venue holds over the local community.

I sat with the GM over Thanksgiving lunch in 2025 and he told me that they would hope to do 650 covers that day. That is a material operation, not the numbers of a poorly operated dive bar. There are no central archetypes at the Silver Dollar - it seems to play host to anyone living in the zip code and that makes for a rich visual feast. There are, however, more cowboy hats here than in a Parisian cafe.

The lead feature of the saloon is a neon illuminated winding bar which incorporates over 2,000 silver dollar coins into its resin surface - it’s part disco, part Lonesome Dove and it should not work aesthetically and yet it emphatically does. It was clearly the central prop around which to build this carefully staged vignette.

My central character for this set was the unique national treasure that is John McEnroe - musician, tennis legend, commentator, artist and general badass. John cannot really be pigeonholed into a convenient silo but give him a Gibson guitar and a cowboy hat and he looks much more at home here in the heart of the American West than he ever did at Wimbledon.

We had fun with the set dressing; I wanted a few nods to his presence in the bar which all added to the parody. I think an evening unfolding like this is entirely plausible at the Silver Dollar.

You Cannot be Serious

Edition of 20 available in color and B&W
Inquire for sizing and availability

John McEnroe is a sporting gunslinger, an urban cowboy and an utterly unique individual. He has never been one to accept convention or authority and was perfectly qualified therefore to play a lead role when we told a few stories one winter evening outside the legendary Millon Dollar Cowboy Bar in Jackson, Wyoming. He is everything I remember from him on court - competitive, questioning and sometimes irascible, but always alert and on point. We enjoy working with him as it prompts us to be at our creative best. I like to be on my toes.

John is a true American icon with some extraordinary gifts in the hand, eye, ball department. But he can also hold a good line in reasoned debate - which is why he has become a voice of authority on many issues over and above tennis. His dad was, of course, a lawyer, as indeed is his brother Mark who joined us on this trip. My sense is that over the years the McEnroes have won most of the arguments they have entered.

My creative predilection is to be wry rather than earnest and when we involve someone who has led as full a life as John, we would never want to ever suggest that we have earned the right to do anything other than have fun. We will work quick and smart and will not abuse his time - he has certainly earned that right. We will leave the loftier ambitions to artists elsewhere.

I think John loves music as much as sport and of course the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar is first and foremost a music venue. I am sure that were his dear friend - the late, great Jimmy Buffett - to see this image, he would raise his glass and develop a wry smile.

The White Lady
Edition of 12 available in color and B&W

“There is not much I would change with this photograph - it all came together in cold winter light looking out to the much-loved Mount Moran in Grand Teton National Park. I am not the first photographer to be drawn to the almost perfect symmetry and grandeur of this 12,000-foot-tall mountain and I won’t be the last.

The foreground had to have some punch and I think the combination of Josie Canseco and her travel companion in a 1953 Ferrari pushes a few boundaries. There is much to look at.

It was, however, the weather that made the shot. I needed fresh snow and a clear morning sky; without one or the other, there was no picture to be taken. The light becomes increasingly less kind on a sunny day and we knew that it would all be over by 8 am at the latest. The window of opportunity is less than 30 minutes.

During our week in Jackson, we had low sky and suboptimal light for 95% of the time. But we had one morning of clear sky and we took our chance. It was luck really, but I think we leveraged what we were given and that ultimately is the acid test. This image is now in the bag forever and that’s something to celebrate.

For those with a visual sensibility, The Tetons set a high bar; there is no mountain range in the Americas I would prefer as a backdrop and the Snake River Valley below offers so much opportunity to build stories. It is an amphitheater that demands a filmmaker’s A game - to be mundane or vanilla would be embarrassing.” - David Yarrow

The Rules of Golf

Over the years I have been fortunate enough to tell stories on famous golf courses, whether they be staged period shots at St Andrews, Scotland or the actual dramatic reality of the Masters at Augusta. The Ocean Course at The Breakers may not quite have the global fame of these championship courses, but then again, neither do any other courses in the world.

But the Ocean Course, which dates to 1897, is the oldest golf course in Florida and its attachment to the most storied hotel in Florida, means that it has provenance and currency. The backdrop of the Renaissance revival styled facade of the grand old place immediately locates the course and this is helpful to a storyteller. The Breakers and Palm Beach are tied at the hip.

We are grateful to the owners of the hotel for giving us permission to stage a shoot on the approach to the 18th green and even more grateful that they allowed us to tell a story that played homage to the hotel’s wider facilities. We did not want to be too purist in our creative vision, after all, The Breakers is a place of fun and levity, rather than a place on the PGA’s map of tournament golf.

The clientele of The Breakers enjoy sunbathing and golf, but by and large, these activities are ring fenced and one activity rather eliminates the other. The sand on the golf course and the sand on the beach are different.

My idea was simply to tell a tale of the day that the lines got muddied and that one bunker hosted an errant guest. Only in time would she discover that this patch of sand had other uses. Our European models that morning - Frida Aasen and Nadine Leopold - both played their roles immaculately.- David Yarrow

Top Gear

-AVAILABLE NOW-

In the old days I liked to be as close to the ground as possible when filming wildlife as it served to glorify the animal and, at the margin, it also allowed for a little more immersion for the viewer. It became very much my signature style in the field to offer the visual perspective of a small ant.

I don’t see why the approach should be that different when filming a 1957 Porsche Speedster. It has an aesthetic beauty that needs to be showcased and a ground up perspective also highlights the dust being kicked up from behind the car. Dust is always best captured using strong back light and this does present tonal range challenges to our printers. Luckily, we have the best craftsmen in our studio who can bring out the shadow detail without losing the detail in the highlights. It is a different craft to being a photographer.

The talent on this shot came from the very top drawer - Jimmie Johnson - the most decorated of NASCAR drivers, is behind the wheel of the Speedster, whilst supermodel Shanina Shaik is the lady theatrically acknowledging his victory. Both Jimmie and Shanina enjoyed themselves that morning at Willow Springs racetrack in California and I think it shows. From my own selfish perspective, Jimmie had to focus slightly on slowing down before he ran me over and I guess he could be forgiven for having his eyes elsewhere.

I want to thank Sam Byrne of Cross Harbour Capital for facilitating this shoot. Without him, we had no circuit to film on, no Porsche Speedster and no Jimmie. Shanina is strong enough to be filmed without props anywhere, but this weighty ensemble has a little magic to it.- David Yarrow

Ford

No industrial company played a bigger role in the evolution of American culture than the Ford Motor Company. Founded in Detroit, Michigan by Henry Ford in 1903, the voting structure means that it has been in continuous family control for over 100 years, despite being a public company. Today it remains one of the largest family-controlled companies in the world.

Henry Ford is rightly recognised as one of America’s great industrialists and the early car models, like the mass-produced Ford Model T, changed how Americans travelled and lived. Two generations later, in the 1960s, Ford challenged Ferrari’s dominance in the racing car marketplace; an unlikely story that was well chronicled in the movie Ford v Ferrari.

Some of the scenes from that film were shot at Willow Springs race circuit in California and we were excited to have access to this location to tell our own Ford racing division stories.

The 1967 Ford GT40 MK111 sits strikingly low to the ground and I saw an opportunity to pair the car with Cindy Crawford’s long legs. Hopefully the visual mismatch would then serve to highlight and showcase the beauty of both subjects.

Cindy is one of the brightest of the lead supermodels since the 1980s and role playing is hardly a challenge for her. Meanwhile I suspect that Jimmie Johnson - one of the most successful NASCAR racers of all time - is also a performing artist in his spare time. The camera likes him and he likes the camera. The two American stars lives had not crossed until that day in Willow Springs, but they worked well together in this set and this photograph is certainly a keeper. Cindy is exceptional.

I want to thank Sam Bryne and his team at CrossHarbor Capital Partners for trusting us with this project and the Petersen Automotive Museum in LA for transporting some very precious sports cars up to Willow Springs.

1966
Available in Black & White and Color

One of the locations for the Oscar winning movie Ford v Ferrari was Willow Springs racetrack, an hour northeast of Hollywood. When we knew we might have the opportunity to film there, I watched the scenes at the racetrack several times and I recognised that for a single image story to be successful, there had to be a definitive sense of place. The mountainous backdrop to the circuit defines it as much the 1950s buildings scattered around the pit area.

In the movie, Matt Damon plays Carroll Shelby enlisted by Ford to try and compete on the racetrack with Ferrari. The film reaches its climax at Le Mans in 1966 where Shelby’s car gets the better of Ferrari. It seemed appropriate therefore to bring a 1966 Ford Mustang Shelby GT 350 as our principal prop in this period tableau.

But our ambitions were high and our large cast was led by Cindy Crawford who I knew would own her role as a triumphant racer. She always delivers and has such presence in this photograph. It is always validating to work with her and our commitment to our craft is never higher than on these occasions.

Two days before we shot, I found myself sitting near Christian Bale at a West Hollywood restaurant and I remembered how integral he was to the movie. I knew a Texan model who could play to that vibe and my instincts were to quickly drag him in at the last moment. He slipped in the space behind Cindy and I think he elevates the image. It’s the little things.

Motor racing enthusiasts will also see “The King” Richard Petty behind the car on the right. Richard, who won the Daytona 500 seven times, was a joy to have on set and added to the freewheeling joy of the day.

The title of this photograph is fitting as Cindy Crawford and I were both born in 1966. I show my age, but Cindy certainly does not, as this special picture fully showcases.

I would like to thank the team at CrossHarbor Capital Partners, led by Sam Byrne, for facilitating and encouraging this project and for inviting Richard Perry and Jimmie Johnson. But most of all, thank you to Cindy Crawford for being outstanding in her role.

Skyfall
Glencoe, Scotland

Words by David Yarrow-
Glencoe offers one of Scotland’s grandest locations, especially at the denouement of a winter storm. The cone shaped volcanic monolith of Buachaille Etive stands proud at the entrance as if it was a white hatted sentry guarding the national treasures in the glen beyond.

This is the celebrated gateway to the Scottish Highlands and a land known not just for its natural beauty, but for its bloody past, particularly the Clan feuds between the MacDonalds and the Campbells. The drive through Glencoe encourages a silent historical musing as intense as any road I know in the world. S**t happened here.

But there is also an untamed regality to the region that has long drawn filmmakers and, of course, this goes full circle, as this remote part of the world has long been associated with the Fleming family and particularly Ian Fleming - the creator of James Bond. He lived here before moving to Jamaica in 1946.

A pivotal sequence in the 2012 Bond movie “Skyfall” was shot on the road down from the A82 to what was Ian Fleming’s nephew’s shooting lodge - Dalness. The location was well chosen and all those that are drawn to the mournful beauty of Scotland, appreciated the subtle alchemy between Bond’s DB5 and the quintessential Highland topography. I doubt any other Bond location has as many daily visitors as that Glen Etive Road.

This panoramic was taken near the entrance to that road on the West Highland Way. We had watched the weather forecast every day for 10 days before the shoot and not in our wildest dreams did we ever expect the light and the snow cover to be this kind to us. We still had to move quickly with the props and I had to find compositional balance in my frame, but the weather was the transcending component. We were back at Dalness for breakfast.

This photograph is personal. Scotland is my home and I think we did Glencoe proud. No wonder Sam Mendes chose to shoot here in the Skyfall movie and the truth is that we got luckier than him with the weather.

I would like to thank the Alba Police force and Phil Fleming for their help in making this shoot happen.

Trainspotting
Durango, Co 2025

Words by David Yarrow-
In 1860, a group of prospectors ventured into the San Juan Mountains seeking riches. They discovered gold and silver deposits along the Animas River, naming the area “Baker’s Park”. Despite news of the discovery spreading, the Civil War, and the fact that the land belonged to the Ute Indians, delayed miners from returning until the early 1870s.

But in 1874, Silverton’s town site was established, quickly becoming the hub of numerous mining camps. Alongside miners, the town attracted the attention of a Denver railroad company with the ambition to build a track up this formidable canyon.

Eight years later, the inaugural train from Durango, operated by the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad, arrived in Silverton. This extraordinary achievement was a testimony to the ability of 19th century engineers. By 1883, Silverton boasted a population of 2,000, featuring 400 buildings, including two banks, five laundries, 29 saloons, hotels, and the notorious red-light district, Blair Street.

Sitting proudly at 9300 ft, Silverton is hard enough to reach by car in 2025. Whenever I travel up to this gem of a town, I raise my glass to the fortitude and courage of final frontier capitalists and, of course, the railroad workers themselves. There can only be a few train journeys in the world that evoke a greater sense of 19th century human ambition.

The beauty and grandeur of the canyon up to Silverton makes the railroad one of the world’s great visual treats.
The world was introduced to it through Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid way back in 1969 and ever since I first filmed there five years ago, I have been fixated.

In this shot, we staged a robbery high up in the canyon. We know our angles and our lighting and we know the cowboys we can trust on top of that historic train.
