Other photographers work....
John Rankin Waddell, aka 'Rankin' born 1966 in Scotland and is a British portrait and fashion photographer.
Rankin started at University studying accounting, he dropped out at the age of 21 and decided photography was what he really wanted to do. He joined forces with a man called Jefferson Hack where they started a magazine called Dazed & Confused. Since then he started up other magazines and his work got nationally known through using many famous names....
After looking into Rankin's work, I was very impressed with various styles that he approaches. He has worked with many famous people such as Britney Spears, Spice Girls, The Rollings Stones, Tony Blair and many more.....
I have particularly liked the photos above for different reasons. I picked them because these will be the type of shots that I hope to be taking in the studio. Using minimal props or just the model and clothing etc for effective striking shots. I do like the idea of black and white photography but I think having Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter as my 'Theme' I think colour will be more effective. I like the idea of using simple but effective props and hope that the clothes and make up will reflect my theme.
Hi
ReplyDeleteYou are very good at research and collecting images, you now need to select a time to shoot images for yourself which reflect the images you have seen.
Preparation is the main skill in photography once you have mastered the technical aspects. Come and talk to me about this so we can aim to to get a shoot sorted that will supply images for your themes.
I will help you to label your blogs but have must have them sorted after xmas for the final run in.
