Rankin's portraits of celebrities in the 90s and early 2000s depicted them in a stripped-back, punk protest style, diverging from the glossy aesthetic of the prior decade.
Rankin aimed to redefine portraiture by collaborating with his subjects, moving away from a transactional approach to creating images, emphasizing joint creation with the individual being photographed.
The retrospective exhibition 'Back In the Dazed: Rankin 1991-2001' showcases Rankin's rebellious approach, blending androgyny, angst, and art in his iconic images capturing LGBTQ+ scenes and cultural creatives.
Rankin's work often challenged mainstream norms, such as in the concept of styling individuals for their hypothetical funeral outfits, reflecting his collaboration with Katie Grand and innovative approach to photography.
