Love him or hate him, Rankin has definitely made his mark in the photography world. It's been his portrait imagery
which has really stood out over the years, photographing everyone from Madonna to the Queen.
I caught one of his exhibitions in the late nineties and was blown away by the way he had managed to capture stars
and icons like you'd never seen them. Using his platform which is Dazed & Confused, which he set up with Jefferson
Hack... many years ago now, he created the opportunity to photograph everyone current at the time, past and future.
Catch his retrospective until the 18th September at the Old Truman Brewery, 85 Brick Lane, London.
