This piece is part of (after) Whistlejacket - An Exhibition of Contemporary Equine Photographs by John Reardon at MMX Gallery, London.
The show explores an artistic way of photographing horses.
"These photographs of thoroughbred stallions, began as a half-derided summer job - 'Just commercial work!' John would wince, appalled by the revolting vulgarity of privilege and prosperity. It lasted 16 years, almost until his death at 66, five years ago. Back when it all began - on the eve of his 50th birthday and after photographing 14 wars and untold natural disasters for news pages and Sunday supplements, the kind of stark, stylish foreign forays that newspaper budgets would less and less stretch to - he might have feared that he was retiring to grass. In fact, it was to be one last wild ride.
For weeks at a stretch, it took him to Ireland and France, Kentucky and Japan, Australia and, of course, Newmarket.
Every year, Reardon re-invented his challenge. He photographed stallions with a special 65mm panoramic Hasselblad, turning the line of neck, withers, back and quarters into lush landscapes. He created a portable studio of all-white walls and had the stallions stare into his lens as if they were movie stars. One year, he went to photograph every major race, wherever it was run, anywhere in the world: he'd unfailingly find the story and tell it in a few startling frames - ever eclectic, ever hectic. He was out at dawn. He was there at dusk. He climbed trees to get a better view and once inadvertently buzzed the Sheikh in his private swimming pool while hanging out of a helicopter.
Thousands of rolls of film. And when you look at one or two of them - spread out on a lightbox, through a Lupe, yellow Chinagraph poised: the way he insisted we all did for as long as he could hold the digital world at bay - you see what an extraordinary gift he had. 36 exposures, at least 20-25 different scenes or set-ups. Yes, he'd work a shot; but mostly he got what he wanted first time and that was that, he'd moved on, gone, tirelessly creative, his imagination fizzing like a lit fuse." - Jocelyn Targett

John Reardon - (1951 - 2018) was a British photographer, born in Cape Town. He studied film and photography at Birmingham University.
He started shooting for The Observer in the mid 1980s, beginning a distinguished career in photojournalism that saw him photographing war and humanitarian stories in Sri Lanka, Kuwait, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, to name a few.
In 1993, he joined the prestigious Independent Photographers Group set up by John Easterby. The same year, he left for war- torn Kabul, Afghanistan, and the outstanding results, displayed sumptuously in the Observer Magazine, saw his work gain global recognition at the World Press Awards.
His work is part of National Portrait Gallery in London among other private and public documentary, art and photography collections.
