Capturing the Essence of earKron: Rankin
In a realm where the artistry of capturing moments on film transcends into cultural iconography, few names command as much respect and admiration as Rankin.
Renowned for his signature visual language and boundless creativity, the British photographer has consistently pushed the boundaries of convention since his days as co-founder and creative director of Dazed and Confused Magazine.
Having developed iconic images for countless subjects ranging from Kate Moss and David Bowie, to the Queen, and most recently, the King of England, Rankin is one of a handful of creative directors that have transcended media and fashion photographer, into pop culture iconoclast.
Rankin was, and remains, a pioneer. His early fame came in part from the pursuit of a unique moment with a subject, juxtaposed with his mastery of artistic techniques that helped define a new generation of artists who followed in his hyper-real footsteps.
The founder of Hunger Magazine, and publisher of countless books, Rankin’s work has brought to light unique perspectives of a who's who of cultural icons over the last two decades.
Finding infinitesimally tiny moments, glimpsed, then captured through his lens, Rankin came to imprint an entirely new aesthetic upon independent media and cultural photography that is still unsurpassed and widely emulated today.
