| General info : | | John Rankin Waddell (born 1966, Glasgow, UK), known as Rankin, is a British photographer and director who has photographed, amongst other subjects, Björk, Kate Moss, Madonna, David Bowie and Queen Elizabeth II.
The London Evening Standard described Rankin's fashion and portrait photography style as "high-gloss, highly sexed and hyper-perfect".
He has directed music videos, documentaries, a feature film, short films and commercials.
In 1976, his family moved to Yorkshire, where he attended Thirsk School. They again relocated, to St Albans, where he studied at Beaumont School.
He worked as a hospital porter when he was 20, and studied accounting at Brighton Polytechnic until he realised his interests lay elsewhere and dropped out.
Rankin took up photography on a BTech course at Barnfield College in Luton, and then a BA course at the London College of Printing. He did not graduate from either. | |
