Capturing the splendor and very soul of what remains wild  and  free  in  our  world  through  incredibly intimate-close  enough  to  touch-portraits,  Wild Encounters chronicles legendary photographer David Yarrow's photographic exploits in the field. Driven by a  passion  for  sharing  and  preserving  the  Earth's  last great  wild  cultures  and  species,  Yarrow  is  as  much  a conservationist as a photographer and artist. His work has  transcended  wildlife  photography,  and  is  now collected  and  shown  as  fine  art  in  some  of  the  most famed galleries around the world.  Yarrow  goes  Pole-to-Pole,  continent-to-continent- mountain to tundra to primordial jungle-inviting us to  truly  connect  with  a  subject  that  we  mistakenly think we have seen before. Yarrow takes the familiar- lions, elephants, tigers, polar bears-and makes them new again by creating iconic images that deliberately connect with us at a highly emotional level.
