John Ranard
John Ranard (February 7, 1952 – May 14, 2008) was a social documentary photographer whose gritty, multi-layered photographs of Louisville, Kentucky's social classes, the world of boxing, Russia during the period of perestroika, AIDS in Russia and Russian prison life, won critical acclaim.
==Early life==
Ranard was the son of a foreign service diplomat, Donald L. Ranard, who, during and after government service, became active in human rights.〔 John Ranard lived much of his childhood life in Asian countries, among them Japan, Malaya, Korea, and Burma, and also Australia.〔 After returning to the United States following his family sojourns abroad, Ranard attended the University of New Mexico, but his college life was interrupted when it was discovered he had Hodgkin's Disease.〔 Ranard overcame the disease, but it was during his treatment with blood transfusions that his doctors later believed he had contracted Hepatitis C. Hepatitis C dogged him for the rest of his life and finally killed him.〔
While recovering from Hodgkin's, Ranard returned to his family home in Vienna, Virginia, and there, in the mid-1970s, he suffered a broken neck in a car accident and used the insurance settlement money to study at Louisville's Center for Photographic Studies.〔 In the late 1970s, Ranard was able to publish his work in two alternative Louisville newsmagazines, ''City Paper'' and ''Louisville Today'', experimenting freely. He achieved a reputation during this time "as one of Louisville's most active and original photographers,"〔 publishing his work journalistically but also exhibiting in art venues such as Louisville's Portland Museum.〔
