Realising his vision for photo, though, was not so straight-forward.
Yarrow had to navigate the packed schedule of Norway captain and Premier League champion Martin Odegaard – who was in Budapest with Arsenal for the Champions League final on the day of the squad shoot.
After the parade had left north London, Odegaard joined Yarrow for a solo shoot, and the cloudy conditions matched those of the original shoot – meaning his figure could be added in without too much fuss.
But it was crucial to Yarrow that Odegaard and his title rival Haaland did not steal the show.
“The one thing that was important about that picture is if, in the Norwegian squad, you’ve got someone that’s worth £200m and then you’ve got Watford’s goalkeeper [Egil Selvik] that’s worth £250,000, the third-in-line goalie – that they both occupy the same amount of the frame,” Yarrow told BBC Sport.
“That’s very important for me.
“That is was not seen to be Haaland and Odegaard and 24 others – it was important to foster a sense of team.”
Yarrow was a guest of Norway as the side beat Sweden 3-1 in a warm-up friendly on Monday, with goals by Jorgen Strand Larsen and Antonio Nusa.
He was struck by the breadth of talent in the Norway team.
“People think it’s a team of two people and it’s so not,” said Yarrow, who was born in Glasgow.
“It’s a seriously good football team, from their wingers to their backs, and I think they’ll go quite far in the tournament.
“But, like Scotland – they’ve got to win their first game.”
