Welcome back to The Big Cat People Podcast! We’re Jonathan and Angela Scott, award-winning wildlife photographers, authors, and conservationists. Today’s episode continues our guest interview series, “In Conversation with The Big Cat People.”

Our guest is the world-renowned fine art photographer David Yarrow, celebrated for his powerful, cinematic images that capture the essence of storytelling through photography. Born in Glasgow, David’s extraordinary career began with his iconic 1986 World Cup photograph of Diego Maradona and has since taken him across the globe — from working with sports legends and supermodels to documenting wildlife and frontier towns.

Represented by over 50 galleries worldwide, David’s work has generated more than $285 million in sales, placing him among the most successful photographers in the world. Philanthropy lies at the heart of his work — with over $25 million raised for charities, focusing on conservation, healthcare, and pediatric cancer care.

His most recent book, David Yarrow: The Collection, features a foreword by Robert Redford and serves as a stunning retrospective of his career. In this inspiring conversation, we talk about his creative process, the art of storytelling through imagery, and how he uses his photography to make a difference.

Welcome to The Big Cat People podcast! We're Jonathan and Angela Scott, award-winning wildlife photographers, authors and conservationists. We have made our name documenting the lives of lions, leopards and cheetahs in the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya.

Today's episode is a continuation of our guest interview series, 'In Conversation with The Big Cat People'. In this series, Jonathan and Angie sit down with incredibly talented photographers to discuss the topic of 'Becoming a Photographer'. Today's guest is Nick Brandt, an English photographer focused on the vanishing natural world due to environmental destruction, climate change, and human actions.

He directed award-winning music videos like Michael Jackson's "Earth Song" before falling in love with East Africa during a shoot in Tanzania. Frustrated with not capturing his feelings for animals, he embarked on his On This Earth Trilogy, aiming to depict animals' essence. Brandt founded the Big Life Foundation in response to escalating poaching in Africa, protecting wildlife and ecosystems. His projects like "Inherit the Dust" and "This Empty World" depict the impact of human development on animals and humans. His work captures the critical moment of the Anthropocene, reflecting on climate change's consequences. Brandt's recent series in Fiji addresses climate change without featuring animals.
