Rankin: Fashion Photographer









Watch this documentary. Explain the role of the fashion photographer. How are Rankins photographs used in a wider context? Where do his images get used and how? How does Rankin work with his clients and his models? Write this into a blog post.

Analyse a fashion image from a magazine or from the internet. What was the photographer trying to achieve? How was the image constructed? Were the photographers intentions realized?
