Photographer David Yarrow and his crew spent this week in Durango for their third photo shoot featuring a train from the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad.<\/p>\n

Along with the shoot, which also invited locals to work as extras, on Thursday evening, he spoke at Sorrel Sky Gallery, where his work has been displayed since 2021.<\/p>\n

Yarrow also took time Wednesday to chat at the gallery. He said choosing Durango as a set in the winter is no coincidence.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs photographers, research is a big part of what we do, and location scouting is a big part of it. I like things in still picture that defy gravity, whether that be falling snow, or whether be waterfall, anything where defying gravity adds interest to a picture,\u201d he said. \u201cSo the steam train here with the steam, is something I\u2019ve always been visually drawn toward. And I think that if you couple a steam engine with snow, you\u2019re onto potential where the snow adds an extra character for free. So I\u2019ve never been in Durango in the summer, I\u2019ve only been here in January or February because I want to be on that track with a lot of snow. Last year, there was an awful lot; this year, we just got lucky.\u201d<\/p>\n

As an international photographer, Yarrow said he is rarely home. And while you\u2019d think that jetting around the globe and working with supermodels would be an ideal way to spend the time, it\u2019s not always Champagne gallery openings and star-studded parties.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are parts of my life that other people wouldn\u2019t want. The huge amount of traveling after a while \u2026 I\u2019m lucky to be able to sit in a nice seat,\u201d he said. \u201cThe other day, I left China 5 in the morning, northeast of the Russian border in the middle of nowhere, then I flew across to Japan, then flew from Japan to Denver, then flew from Denver to here. So I left at 5 o\u2019clock in the morning, and I arrived here at 6 o\u2019clock at night, but I lost a day, so it was a long journey. When I arrived at the Strater, I was in bed by 8 o\u2019clock.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the constant travel can get pretty old pretty fast, Yarrow said that\u2019s balanced by the best part of the job: The people he comes in contact with, who all have lessons to teach.<\/p>\n

\u201cDefinitely the people I meet. And the more famous they are, when you meet them and find out that they\u2019re very normal, they have family issues, health issues, whatever issues, like everyone, it\u2019s very humbling. All these people are very nice and work incredibly hard, and they\u2019ve got a huge amount of humility,\u201d he said. \u201cSo that teaches us that hopefully everything we do is born on the basis of humility and not exceeding your station.\u201d<\/p>\n

And, more locally, the people he meets here leave an impression as well. Yarrow said that in his fatigue from the long trip to Durango, he accidentally left the airport with someone else\u2019s bag. The two got in touch with each other and ended up meeting over coffee and cakes to clear up the mix up.<\/p>\n

Up next, Yarrow is leaving Durango today to head to Park City, Utah, for the 40th Sundance Film Festival where he\u2019s showing and speaking. Then it\u2019s off to Switzerland, where he will be shooting polo in the snow.<\/p>\n

And, in even bigger news for Durango: He will help Sorrel Sky Gallery open a third space this spring \u2013 this one in the Soho neighborhood in New York City.<\/p>\n

\u201cOpening a third location in NYC has always been my goal. The fact that we\u2019re doing it with exclusive representation of David\u2019s work, not just in NYC, but N.Y. state, makes it that much more exciting,\u201d said Sorrel owner Shanan Campbell in a news release. She first connected with Yarrow when he was in Durango shooting on location, and he invited her to join his team for the day. \u201cI was astounded. It was like a movie set,\u201d she said. \u201cDavid possesses a rare talent; his work fully engages the viewer. His ability as an artist and his gift for visual storytelling pull us in and spark our imagination. Having him as our inaugural artist is thrilling.\u201d<\/p>\n

More about the opening to come, so stay tuned \u2026<\/p>\n
