Rankin

Eyescape

Rankin (John Rankin Waddell) was born 1966 in Paisley, Glasgow and now lives in London. Photographer, publisher and most recently film director, Rankin established his reputation when he launched Dazed & Confused with his business partner Jefferson Hack in 1991. From his iconic shot of Kylie lying naked and prostrate, to the Queen smiling enigmatically, Rankin‘s iconic, intimate portraiture style, and his mischievous eye have gained him a reputation as one of the world's leading photographers.
Rankin has published several books including TuuliTastic' – A Photographic Love Letter‘; Beautyfull‘, a book that brought together the most photographed women in the world in a powerful display of beauty and in 2007 ‘Visually Hungry‘ – which documents his extraordinary career, drawing together over 400 images from two decades of work, some of which were exhibited at the International Photo-festival Knokke-Heist in Belgium. In September 2007, Rankin held his debut American solo show in Los Angeles at the Fahey/Klein gallery, entitled ‘Eye Candy‘.
