Description
"Early investors benefit: David Yarrow's sales work on a tiered pricing method. As limited editions, tiered pricing means that the price of an image goes up the closer the edition gets to selling out. This is a critical element when investing in David Yarrow, as investors receive higher returns the earlier they acquire an artwork." - James Kerbey, Expert at Maddox Advisory

About Welcome to the Jungle
David Yarrow transports us this time to the heart of the Kalimantan jungle in Borneo. Where, as he describes it, skill and good fortune intertwined for a moment. Although Yarrow saw the possibility slowly unfolding before him, the precise moment was a gift of chance. He had only one glance and he captured it.
The image depicts an orangutan in its natural habitat, surrounded by dense jungle vegetation. The perfect symmetry and majesty of the ape are evident. The photographer considers orangutans to be the most intelligent animals he has ever photographed, and their gestures, postures, and overall behavior are surprisingly close to ours.
The photographer thanks the senior rangers of the park in Kalimantan who granted him permissions and guided him upstream to a point where they knew there would be several orangutans. This achievement was made possible through teamwork with the locals of Borneo.
