    The Beginning

    World Cup 1986 - "Maradona"

    David Yarrow began his career on a pitch for The London Times at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico City. This image of football player Diego Maradona holding the winning cup catapulted his career. At just twenty years of age Yarrow captured a piece of history that was seen around the world. 

  • Career Highlights
    "Mankind" Taken in South Sudan in 2015, 'Mankind' is heavenly on one glance and Dante's "Hell" on the other. This image captures the raw enormity of a Dinka cattle camp in an elemental and biblical setting. Yarrow wanted people to look at the picture for hours and find new stories each time. The Daily Telegraph gave this image two pages immediately, and is a key piece in Yarrow's stamp on photography and storytelling. Yarrow was indeed the first photographer to visit the 25,000 strong cattle camp, and no other filmmaker has managed to get to this location. (View more details about this item in a popup).
