David Yarrow is a globally exhibited, Sotheby’s-auctioned photographer recognised as one of the world’s best-selling fine art photographers. He has redefined wildlife photography, building a multi-million dollar art enterprise while raising over $18 million for conservation through his powerful black-and-white images.

In a world where everyone is a photographer, how can you stand out and make your work profitable?

Expect to learn practical advice on avoiding tension points in compositions, the significance of patience, the importance of extensive planning and research, being a harsh self-critic to ensure only the best work is showcased, and much more.
