Fearless photographer



John Rankin is an scottish photographer who co-founded Dazed & Confused with Jefferson Hack in 1991.


Rankin has gained his reputation as one of the best photographers of the moment thanks to his craftiness while shooting and the intimacy of which are endowed his images. Among his most iconic images, there is a prostrate naked Kylie Minogue or a rather unusual Queen Elisabeth II smiling, a photography to be reflected in his career forever.



John Rankin is one of those photographers who is not afraid of anything, from domestic violence to portray the naked body in all its glory. One example is the Dove campaign which shows women with curves and without complex, outside the stereotypes set nowadays, or his campaigns for charitable organizations. His ambition knows no bounds, Rankin is a photographer, editor and film director and each project he perform has his own seal. His works are intimate, refined, witty and paradoxical. He's one of the few that works a free way, not repeated himself neither followed the line. I specially like his images of flowers in full blaze of color, such a great intensity and beauty.



His photography is for people who are going to look, observe and understand the work.
