“Photographer, publisher, and most recently film director; Rankin established his reputation when he launched Dazed & Confused with his business partner Jefferson Hack in 1991. Completely new in its approach, the magazine fused the pair’s editorial vision with Rankin’s photographic talents to present the faces of the time in a less mediated way. Right at the heart of London’s creative explosion that gave rise to the Britpop phenomenon with bands like Blur and Pulp and the accompanying fashion boom and stylists Katie Grand and Katy England and designers such as Alexander McQueen, who have gone on to dominate the industry, it is Rankin’s commitment to publishing some of the most ground-breaking magazines of his generation and his support for young photographers that has further earned him a reputation as a leading cultural and trend opinion former. As well as magazines Rankin has produced a string of highly successful exhibitions, ad campaigns and books. He has shot front covers for German Vogue, Harpers Bazaar, Arena and GQ.”
“There is little distinction for him, it appears, between the personal and the professional. As a photographer, he has crossed
the proverbial line, including himself – as voyeur and participant – in an on-camera life that utterly obliterates the distinction
between object and subject, rendering objectivity an archaic term. With his rock star dalliances and a desire to marry high-
art style and low-brow subjects, Cubitt sits at the photographic edge.” -Eyemazing Journal
