Rankin Photography

I came across this site whilst looking at photographers and this guy really shocked me when I logged on. Worth taking a look... but it's a little strange!

Rankins iconic, intimate portraiture style and his mischievous style has gained him a reputation as one of the world's leading photographers.

The following is a photograph taken for Women’s Aid, the national domestic violence charity, when launching its domestic abuse awareness campaign.

A striking and very effective piece of photography...by stripping the photo right down, you are able to see the hurt behind the eyes, especially as he has photographed her front on in portrait. By slicking her hair back, away from her face, her whole body seems very open and vulnerable, which is the main aim for this campaign.
