Ace photographer Derry Moore’s forthcoming exhibition of equestrian life around the world, including luminous studies of the Presidential Guard in Delhi, will be shown in September at the Osborne Studio Gallery (www.osg.uk.com) in London’s fashionable and affluent Belgravia.
Derry writes an introduction to his Delhi experience: “Thanks to Anne Wright who lives in Delhi (please take a look below at a picture of her stables with visiting geese) I was able to photograph the Presidential Guard. This would not have been possible without Anne’s perseverance, for, after writing a letter to the Colonel of the Guard, she delivered it personally to the residence of Colonel Mundi, at dead of night, no easy feat. As a result, I was able to photograph both the changing of the guard ceremony and the stables.”
Moore’s pictures have been reproduced in magazines worldwide, he has published more than a dozen books, among them two focusing on India: ‘ In the Shadow of the Raj’, with a foreword by Mark Tully, and ‘Evening Ragas, a Photographer in India’.
He first visited India at the start of his professional career, in 1971, the country of ‘dreams, fascinating and eternal’.He has a lifelong devotion to India, partly on account of its diversity – but you might like to talk to him. Suggested news is a September exhibition in London of equestrian images including his exquisitely lit photographs taken in Delhi.
