David Yarrow and Adrian Steirn Release Two Exclusive Works in Support of Space for Giants’ Campaign to Stop the Illegal Wildlife Trade

Spotted Cat by Adrian Steirn for Space for Giants November 2020

For a limited time only, famed wildlife photographers David Yarrow and Adrian Steirn are teaming up with Space for Giants to release two limited-run, never-before-seen wildlife photographs to raise critical funding for Space for Giants’ work to end the illegal wildlife trade.

The pieces will be on sale from Tuesday 10th November until Tuesday 8th December, making this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.  The photographs will be available for purchase through Heni Editions and retail for $650 each or $1,200 for both. Both are signed and numbered on the reverse. 

Yarrow’s photo, titled “Space for Giants”, was taken at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and depicts a portrait of one of the last remaining elephant tuskers in the world; Craig. Tuskers are African elephants with tusks so long that they reach the ground, which makes them an especially attractive target for poaching gangs. Today, there are less than 30 tuskers left in the world. 

The image was made possible by Space for Giants who worked with the Kenya Wildlife Service to guide Yarrow as he explored one of East Africa’s most iconic national parks, Amboseli, at a time when, owing to the Covid-19 pandemic, there were no tourists or other photographers in sight. 

Steirn’s image, “Spotted Cat” is a reflective shot of a majestic leopard standing over a body of water at Singita Sabi Sands. The elusive leopard – one of Africa’s great wild cats – is one of the most difficult animals to photograph. Adrian’s image is a powerful and rare representation of the imposing predator.
