You've Seen the Billboard. Here's What's On It.
Drive toward Buckhead Village on Peachtree Road and you'll pass a billboard that doesn't look like the others. You'll see a photograph: a 1960s Cadillac convertible, top down, parked on a mountain road outside Aspen, Colorado. A woman leans against the wheel. Beside her, paws braced on the windshield, is a wolf.
The image is Spring in Aspen, a photograph by David Yarrow, and the billboard marking it sits at the corner of Peachtree Road and West Paces Ferry Road, the literal front door to Buckhead Village. Carousel Fine Art put it there on purpose. Yarrow's work just landed in Buckhead Village for the first time.
The Photograph: David Yarrow's "Spring in Aspen"
"Spring in Aspen" comes from Yarrow's first Aspen series, shot on location at landmarks including the Woody Creek Tavern and Cloud Nine Alpine Bistro. The shoot, by Yarrow's own description, was 1970s ski-town glamour colliding with the rougher textures of Aspen's history: the Wild West years, the Hunter S. Thompson years, the years when the town was equal parts outpost and outlaw retreat.
The "wolf" that recurs throughout the series, including in this piece, is in fact a Tamaskan, a dog bred to look like its wild ancestor, photogenic and unbothered by camera flashes. That's Yarrow's signature. He doesn't photograph moments. He stages scenes built to look like moments.
Who Is David Yarrow?
David Yarrow was born in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1966, and his first serious photography credit came at 20, he was on the pitch for The Times of London at the 1986 World Cup Final in Mexico City, where he captured Diego Maradona lifting the trophy, an image on view at Carousel Fine Art for the 2026 World Cup.
In 1988 he moved into finance, eventually running his own hedge fund. That career ended in 2008, and Yarrow returned, deliberately this time, to the camera. He rebuilt his practice around wildlife and environmental photography, shooting from the kind of low, unguarded angles that put the viewer inside the scene rather than observing it from a respectful distance.
The turning point was "Mankind," shot in South Sudan in 2015. The image brought him to the large-scale, narrative-driven work he's known for now: wildlife, indigenous communities, landscapes, and increasingly, staged scenes built around globally recognized models and actors, all shot with the same documentary instinct he brings to a herd of elephants. He's also the affiliated photographer for Tusk Trust, a leading African wildlife conservation charity, and his prints have produced strong results at auction houses including Sotheby's, all positioning him as one of the best-selling fine art photographers working today.
David Yarrow, Now on View in Buckhead Village
Carousel Fine Art's Buckhead Village gallery introduced Yarrow's work to its Atlanta collection this spring. Currently on view:
- "Daylight Robbery" (2025) — a train, cowboys, and a landscape thick with smoke, classic Yarrow Americana.
- "Once Upon a Time in America" (2025) — a black-and-white study set against the Brooklyn Bridge.
- "The Gunslinger" (2026) — a Western-tinged composition built around golfer Bryson DeChambeau.
- "The White Lady" (Large) (2025) — a wolf beside a Ferrari in a snowbound mountain setting, the same staged-tension formula that defines "Spring in Aspen."
Across town at Lenox Square, the gallery's second Atlanta location, Yarrow's "Wall Street Stories" (2026) is also on display, putting his work in front of two distinct Buckhead audiences at once.

Visit the Work in Person
A billboard can only do so much. "Spring in Aspen" and the rest of Yarrow's current selection are built to be seen at scale, with the kind of detail and surface that doesn't survive a 65-mile-an-hour glance on Peachtree Road. Stop into Carousel Fine Art at Buckhead Village or Lenox Square, or reach out to an advisor ahead of your visit to see what's currently available.
