#267 PHOTOWALK: RANKIN, PHOTOGRAPHING THE QUEEN & OTHER STORIES

Photowalk edition

5 Nov

British photographer Rankin is our guest; co-founder behind Dazed and Confused, celebrated for his international portraiture of leaders and celebrities. We talk about his rise to fame and that four minutes shoot with The Queen; a nod to an infamous Sex Pistols record cover. We're also Photowalking on the Isle of Wight with your letters talking about the quiet of nature photography, how photography heals, animal photojournalism and we revisit the subject of photographing children in street photography. Our Patron of the Day is Bil Derby. See more of his work on his website and through Instagram.

We’re supported by our friends at MPB.com the number one platform in the UK, US and Europe when it comes to buying, trading or selling quality used kit online. A picture, a moment can CHANGE the way we feel. It can change how we see ourselves. It can even provoke and change history. MPB.com puts photo and video kit into more hands, more sustainably, helping you to change kit to tell YOUR stories. Every month, visual storytellers, like you, sell more than 20,000 cameras and lenses to MPB, which means that YOU can choose used and get affordable access to kit that doesn’t cost the earth and in some cases never dreamt you’d own. So, sell the kit you’re not using, trade it in for the kit you need to create. Buy used, spend less and get more.

We’re ALSO supported, (hand held and produced), because our patrons help guide the direction of this show, by those who subscribe to our Patreon channel, which from the price of one high street coffee per month is helping to build this show so that it can continue in its mission to become a super diverse community of photographers from every interest, every genre and every level of competence.
