EQUIPOSE selected as one of the Season's best books
BRILLIANT MAGAZINE, Dec 2005
Christopher Makos' crisp, graphic photographs are not easily forgotten. In this book he departs from his usual shots of people and places to focus on something different: horses. With signature clarity and boldness, Makos brings out the graceful musculature and shining coats of one of nature's most powerful and elegant animals--not unlike what he does for his human subjects.
NORTH SHORE NEWS, "Photographs capture equine nobility," Terry Peters, March 24, 2006
When celebrated New York photographer Christopher Makos ventured out to photograph a horse for a special project he discovered a new world.
He was drawn to the power and elegance of these noble creatures and began photographing them when he could.
The result of those departures from his normal urban environment is this stunning collection of images that caputre the energy and personality of those impressive creatures.
The sloping line of muscles on a horses' neck, a flowing mane, or the highly alert presence that is apparent in their eyes are the elements in his study of the equine world.
Makos successfully closes the distance from his art world esthetic to the rural setting where these horses live. The result is a new look at an old subject.
Makos let his instincts lead him and this allows him to avoid cliches and with his artist's eye we are presented with a new and unique examination of the horse world. He says in his introduction, "From that very first encounter in the Hamptons when I first started to really look at horses, I have now come to realize that each and every one of these animals has special and unique personalities. I never really understood horses; I think I do now. This book is for people who love horses. I have become one of you."
GENRE MAGAZINE, Mark Liebermann, November 2005
First an admission: I don't give a crap about horses. I have horse-loving friends; I think they're weird. But, the fact remains: Christopher Makos takes incredibly stunning photoraphs, which is what ultimately saved EQUIPOSE from my recycling bin. Whether he's shooting a model's abs or a horse's patoot, Makos brings a rich, erotic depth to his subject.
