Video: Rankin
Rankin is one of the most successful portrait and fashion photographers in the world. He co-founded Dazed & Confused magazine in 1992 with Jefferson Hack and has photographed some of the world's most recognisable faces, including the Queen, Madonna and David Bowie. He chats to IdeasMag about how he made it...
As well as publishing magazines and working as a photographer, Rankin is also a prolific filmmaker – he has made documentaries, adverts, a feature film (The Lives of the Saints), music videos and runs his own production company, RankinFilm. He is currently running a platform for emerging, homegrown screenwriters, Collabor8te.
In our exclusive video interview, Rankin tells IdeasMag about his regrets, why he chose photography over accountancy and why it's important to promote yourself.
