YOUNG RIDERS

4-29 APR (PREVIEW NIGHT 18 APR)

A series of images from the Gardians shot in the Camargue and now

It all started with a trip to Arles. We were invited to a party in the middle of the dusty Camargue. It was a community festival to celebrate the branding of young bulls. The field was mostly full of male horsemen, known as Gardians, except for one 16 year old girl whose confidence and poise shone out and spoke to me. Serenely she held the reigns of four horses in the midst of the busy scene, while the Gardians jumped off to tether and brand the bucking, writhing young animals. Her name was Melodie.

I followed her, we talked and thus began a year during which I photographed her with her young friends — both human and equine — and their beautifully simple life in harmony with the natural world.

Photographing young people and horses has always been a passion of mine. Having completed the Gardians shot in the Camargue I have started my new series called YOUNG RIDERS which is about young people and horses in a more urban environment
