"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 The Siberian 
In a remote corner of northern China, where snow piles up in mountains, David Yarrow set himself a challenge: to photograph the majestic Siberian tiger in its natural habitat, but it was no easy task. Siberian tigers are the most visually striking species and also the most dangerous. They can kill a human in eight seconds and do so for fun; the balance between safety and proximity was at the core of this project. 
The photograph showcases the Siberian tiger in all its splendor. Its stripes appear as ink strokes in the snow, and its intelligent camouflage hides it among the trees. Majesty and danger intertwine in this image. 
 
Suitable Conditions 
Two key decisions contributed to the success of this photograph: spending a lot of time in the north, waiting for the right light and snow. He wanted to avoid the bright, dry skies typical of Siberian winters. 
Collaboration with Chinese authorities: Working closely with Chinese authorities was essential. Access was achieved through respect and investment in relationships. David not only captured the image of the tiger but also the essence of the region.
