#203 MARADONA AND THE $6K PICTURE OF A SHARK
Today, world renowned fine art photographer David Yarrow whose evocative and immersive photography of life on earth has earned him an ever growing following amongst art collectors. His large black and white images grace the walls of leading galleries and museums across Europe and the US and he’s now recognised as one of the best selling fine art photographers in the world with his limited edition works in much demand at Sotheby’s and other auction houses.
Today’s show is supported by MPB.com who are the number one people for buying, selling and trading used gear on line. If you’re in the show’s Facebook group you’ll find a nice discount code in there for using at MPB if you’re in the States, Europe or the UK. Listeners to this show will appreciate I’m a Fujifilm and Canon user and I just bagged myself a 40mm pancake lens by Canon, which I think has always been a much under rated lens. It’s a fast lens, it’s a light lens, and ironically slightly less weight than my 23mm closest Fuji equivalent, so fits into that desire to be able to travel light and photograph with a subtle set up – I did the purchase, was sent my code and now I’ve left it there for you to use.
Patron of the Day is Michael Beecham and in particular his black and white gallery; ‘A Deep Longing Chaos’ which is picture hanging quality wonderful but not cliché images of water, the kind of pictures which leave you wondering what exactly is beneath the surface or behind the reflection?
