Story
"I love a beauty shoot because all I need is my team, a model and a great make-up artist. We can move quickly and we can play a lot more than in other types of shoot. I’ve even been known to do three or four beauty shoots in one day; I get an idea and “bang”, we’re right there doing it.
I love to work with different models and different artists, and beauty photography gives me this all the time. I get to try out new techniques, and I get to learn about other people’s styles, backgrounds and interests.
If I did the same thing every day I would get bored, so my love of beauty photography is fundamentally about the freedom it gives me creatively”
- Rankin, Mess Magazine, 2019

Rankin
As a photographer Rankin's portfolio ranges from portraiture to documentary. He has shot The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Kate Moss, Kendall Jenner and The Queen to name only a few.
He is best known for work that is on the cultural cusp and leading future trends: producing rule-breaking campaigns for brands such as Rolls Royce, Unilever, L’Oreal and Samsonite; creating wide reaching projects for charities including Women’s Aid and Macmillan; and shooting music videos for the likes of Miley Cyrus, Rita Ora and Kelis.
As a publisher, Rankin co-founded the seminal magazine Dazed & Confused with Jefferson Hack in 1991, and has since published the likes of AnOther and AnOther Man, alongside over 40 books and the biannual fashion and culture print and digital platform, Hunger.
His photography has been published everywhere from his own publications to Elle, Vogue, Esquire, GQ, Rolling Stone, and Wonderland, and exhibited in galleries globally, including MoMA, New York, and the Victoria & Albert Museum, London.
Rankin lives in London with his wife Tuuli and their dogs.

Digital C-types are created by exposing the paper using lasers or LEDs rather than a bulb, like in a darkroom. All our C-type prints are produced on laser printers, giving optimum results for your images for colour accuracy, light fastness and archival quality.
