Description
Scottish photographer and conservationist David Yarrow reflects on his unconventional journey from photography to Wall Street finance and ultimately back to pursuing his artistic ambitions. He recalls how a decision to sell all of his firm’s foreign stocks just before the second plane struck the World Trade Center on 9/11 earned him a reputation as a financial genius and propelled him into a leadership role overseeing 40 stockbrokers. Yarrow also reveals how, after his business collapsed in the wake of Bernie Madoff’s infamous Ponzi scheme, he invested $20,000 in capturing the perfect photograph of a great white shark. The resulting image earned him his first major payday from a private collector and helped launch the next chapter of his career. He also talks about being offered entry into North Korea, on one very specific condition.
