Always wanting to celebrate and empower women, Rankin has brought wit and humor to his nudes, creating playful images that challenge perceptions. "Once the image is done, it has a life of its own."

GROSSFORMAT: 27 x 34 cm, 304 Seiten. Dieses Buch erscheint anlässlich der 10. Ausgabe von HUNGER und ist ein visuelles Sinnbild für Mode, Design, Kultur, Musik, Film und Kunst. Es vereint die besten Artikel aus HUNGER, ergänzt durch Anekdoten und Geschichten des Rankin-Teams. Enthalten sind bisher nicht gezeigte Fotos, Einblicke hinter die Kulissen, Filmstills, Originalzeichnungen und kreative Ideen. "Hunger: The Book" blickt auf fünf Jahre und zehn Ausgaben der von Rankin 2011 gegründeten Zeitschrift zurück. Das zweimal jährlich erscheinende Magazin entstand aus Rankins Wunsch nach einem Forum für die kreativsten und provokantesten Stimmen der Kultur- und Modewelt. Das Buch feiert dieses Forum, indem es die eindrucksvollsten Momente, Artikel und Porträts prominenter Persönlichkeiten zusammenstellt und mit unveröffentlichten Fotografien, Filmstills, Originalskizzen und aufschlussreichen Anekdoten hinter die Kulissen von HUNGER führt. Rankin, 1966 in Paisley geboren, begann seine Karriere nach dem Studium der Fotografie mit dem Magazin Dazed and Confused und später mit seinem eigenen Magazin Rank. Mit HUNGER und der Webseite HUNGERTV.com setzte er neue Maßstäbe in Fashion, Fotografie und Beauty und erlangte Bekanntheit durch Charity-Kampagnen und seine Teilnahme an Germany’s Next Topmodel.

Diese ausführliche Retrospektive präsentiert die besten Arbeiten von Rankin, einem der faszinierendsten Celebrity- und Porträtfotografen unserer Zeit. Mit seinem umfangreichsten Retrospektivenband feiert er seine herausragendsten Werke aus der Mode-, Musik- und Medienwelt der letzten 20 Jahre. Die thematische Gliederung umfasst Akt, Porträt – darunter Bilder von Persönlichkeiten wie Tom Hardy, The Rolling Stones und Emma Watson – sowie Beauty, Mode und Mythen, einschließlich einer Zusammenarbeit mit Damien Hirst über antike mythische Figuren. Rankin beschreibt seine Arbeit als oft unbequem und herausfordernd, wobei viele seiner Celebrity-Bilder als Anti-Celebrity-Ansichten betrachtet werden, die die Prominenten auf Augenhöhe zeigen und die „echte“ Person offenbaren. Diese Sammlung ermöglicht es, vertraute Gesichter wie Heidi Klum oder Beth Ditto aus neuen Perspektiven zu betrachten. Rankin selbst charakterisiert seinen Stil als eine Mischung aus Provokation und Sensibilität, was seine Fotografien einzigartig und unvergesslich macht. Unverzichtbar für alle, die sich für die innovative Fotografie dieses Meisters begeistern.

"Rankin, one of Britain's foremost photographers, is known for his startling imagination, humor and a collaborative approach that has marked him out as one of the 1990s' outstanding image-makers. Rankin Works explores the entire body of his work during the decade: over 200 photographs cream off the very best of his early anti-fashion shots for London-based style magazine Dazed & Confused, of his later advertising work using digital manipulation, and, above all, of his witty portraits celebrating the process which translates celebrity personalities into the public imagination. His fashion shots provide a unique insight into the decade's evolving trends in fashion, music, art, film, and his iconic portraits of celebrities from music, cinema and the arts- Madonna, David Bowie, Bono, Richard E. Grant and Kate Moss-have defined a new ironic genre of their own. Apparently flippant and accessible but often thought-provoking, this book- like Rankin's photographs-is a refreshing document of style over substance, exploring the elusive territory where private and public lives intersect"--Provided by Amazon WWW site.

Insults fly on every page of Rankin's forthcoming book. What a fucking rude bunch these celebrities are! 'Fuck You Rankin' collates Rankin's most iconic shots. Each portrait sees the famed photographer being given the one finger salute by some of his boldest subjects. The series of notoriously cheeky photographs, exclusive outtakes from a number of shoots, sees the likes of Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Robbie Williams and Heidi Klum (you know the shot) flipping the bird left, right and centre. And what is the relevance of this obscene Western hand gesture? Is it really that obscene? Well, history states that this very rude finger is a symbol of a handful of topics unsuitable for the dinner table. So, Rankin being Rankin, thought he'd curate a book of many famous middle fingers. How rude! Starring: Dizee Rascal, Cheryl Cole, Abbey Clancey, Damian Lewis, Damien Hirst, Katy Perry, Keith Richards, Miley Cyrus, Ray Winstone, Robbie Williams, Ronnie Wood and many more.
