Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Featuring 87 monochrome images of wildlife and people from some of the harshest and most inaccessible landscapes on Earth, Encounter is the stunning new photography collection by David Yarrow.
Renowned for his preparation, perseverance and patience in the field, Yarrow – recently shortlisted for the Wildlife Photographer of the Year Award 2013 – maintains that in an era of information overload, there is “no room for the banal”.
Years in the making, Encounter demonstrates the lengths that Yarrow will go to in pursuit of the purest image possible and, through a compelling narrative, it illustrates the challenges of shooting in some of the most desolate corners of the world. Challenges that include: overcoming the fierce dry heat of East Africa; frostbite; having to talk down a brown bear unexpectedly encountered in the middle of Alaska; and enduring 30 hours in the water to capture the moment a great white shark caught its prey.
Encounter proves on every page that photography is about active nature rather than passive observation, such as the image above where a lioness gets up close.
The book is published in affiliation with conservation charity Tusk, which will benefit from a percentage of sales.
