The photography critic and historian Helena Srakočić-Kovač on John Claridge:

When you decided to pull back from advertising … which, I think, is such a shame because you revolutionised it and elevated it to an art form … you have been substituting it with work of equivalent value, guts and visual strength but so very different … so much to see … to me at times it appears as if it’s not yours … unstructured and scattered in its beauty … you used to tell stories and now it’s more about feelings and moments in life …
