For many years, the photography showcase outside his studio near the original Theatre Royal in Castlereagh Street was a favourite among passing city pedestrians. It always displayed the latest glamour girl, celebrity, beautiful bride or man of the moment. John Hearder, who has died at 86, was renowned for his black-and-white glamour photography, with its dramatic lighting and individual style that so attracted a celebrity clientele in postwar Sydney. But he had other lives - as a decorated wartime naval commander, yachtsman and entrepreneur. Born in Bromley, Kent, the eldest of three children from a seafaring family, young Hearder left school at 15, having been a frequent truant while he ran his first enterprise, taking tourists sailing in his dinghy. One of Hearder's first full-time jobs was as a salesman for Fullers Chocolates. His personal flair attracted the attention of the company hierarchy in London and he was quickly promoted to manage a number of stores. However, sailing remained Hearder's passion and he saved enough money to buy a yacht large enough to fulfil his childhood dream to circumnavigate the globe. Then World War II intervened. Hearder cut short his voyage in the Caribbean, sold the boat and returned to London with his crew to join the war effort. Already Hearder was a member of the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve and the Royal Navy appointed him to command a flotilla of 150-foot gunboats that served as minesweepers and escorts for merchant shipping. Hearder rarely spoke about the dark side of the war, but he is known to have lost at least two gunboats, one blown up by a mine in the English Channel and another divebombed by a Stuka in the Mediterranean. After that attack, he and his surviving crew jumped ship and floated for several days before they were rescued. Hearder received many military honours, including the Distinguished Service Cross, for commanding minesweepers in late 1944 that cleared the Scheldt Estuary in the Netherlands to reopen the port of Antwerp. Amateur photography had been a longtime interest and towards the end of the war, Hearder was put in charge of the Royal Navy's photographic unit in the Pacific. He was one of the first people to enter Changi prison and capture the haunting images on film as Allied POWs were liberated. He was also on board the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay for the signing of the peace treaty with the Japanese. After R&R in Sydney Hearder was to board a ship at Garden Island for England. But he had a change of heart and was demobilised in Sydney after a leading glamour photographer, John Lee, offered him the job of running his city studio. Hearder never returned to England. He worked for several studios before establishing his own, John Hearder Photography, in 1949. Around this time he met Margaret Muir, a 17-year-old who became his model, and, soon after, his wife. Hearder was divorced from his first wife, whom he had married when he was 18. The mainstays of Hearder's photographic business were glamour portraits and weddings. His reputation grew and he accumulated a clientele of celebrities, including local radio stars Jack Davey and Margo Lee. He also won photographic assignments with the Australian Ballet, the Australian Opera, the Phillip Street Theatre, the Theatre Royal, the Tivoli Theatre and the touring Old Vic Shakespeare Company. Stars photographed at the height of their careers by Hearder included Vivien Leigh, Katharine Hepburn, Jane Russell, Sir Robert Helpmann and Rudolf Nureyev. Throughout this period, he exhibited extensively his glamour portraits and nudes and lectured to camera clubs. When the Sydney Opera House opened, Hearder produced a black-and-white photographic mural for the opera War and Peace that, at the time, was probably the largest ever made. One of his favourite overseas assignments was to photograph the Taj Mahal by moonlight, which resulted in an India Collection, exhibited throughout Australia. Hearder was deeply involved in Sydney yachting. He raced on the harbour and his business interests included developing the Cammeray marina. When he retired in 1976, Hearder turned to pottery. It became his new great interest in a studio built at his Central Coast home. He is survived by Margaret, his wife of 51 years, their children Tony and Susie, and a son, Michael, from his first marriage. (Tony Hearder)

** Volunteered for rescue work at Ostend in command of M.L. 283. He was ordered to follow astern and assist two other motor launches which were detailed for rescue work. He remained at the Stroom Bank Buoy position until "Vindictive" had passed and then followed her, patrolling east and west within a quarter of a mile of the shore under heavy pom-pom and machine-gun fire, searching for survivors until 3.20 a.m., when all hope of finding anyone had passed.
*** On the 12th April, 1918, an explosion took place in the engine-room of H.M. Motor Launch 356, and the forward tanks burst into flame. The Officer and some of the crew were blown overboard by the explosion, and the remainder were quickly driven aft by the flames, and were taken off in a skiff. By this time the flames were issuing from the cabin hatch aft, and there was much petrol burning on the surface of the water. It was then realised by the crews of adjacent vessels that the aft petrol tanks and the depth charge were being attacked by the fire, and might explode at any moment. At the moment when others were running away, Lieutenant Hoare and Sub-Lieutenant Bagot jumped into their dinghy, rowed to the wreck, got on board, and removed the depth charge, thereby preventing an explosion which might have caused serious loss of life amongst the crowd of English and French sailors on the quay.
