Art With the help of TUSK and John Kaheyka, winner of the 2016 Prince William African Conservation Award, Yarrow’s adventure in the Congo was a collective operation. In fact, Kaheyka met his first gorillas over three decades ago with the guidance of the same local pygmy used by Yarrow. Yarrow “imposed” himself upon the rainforest, rather than letting the environment dictate his method of photography. This tactic allowed him to take the most effective photographs, while the short lens length required him to venture close to the gorilla. Focus, which “explains, frames and excludes,” is essential in photography.
