Beauty / The quality present in a thing or person that gives
pleasure or deep satisfaction to the mind, whether arising from sensory
manifestations (such as shape/colour/sound...) and meaningful design or
pattern, or something else (as a personality in which high spiritual
qualities manifest).
Beautyfull brings together the gorgeous, the opulent and indulgent. The
most photographed women in the world are collected together here in a
powerfully sumptuous display of beauty. From cobra-covered Eva Herzigova to
sparkling Gisele and flame-haired Vivienne Westwood, this book showcases
images that encapsulate grace, colour, enigma and depth.
Rankin's energetic mind and eye is shown as more contemplative and
cinematic in these images, Departing from his edgy urban style of earlier
years, the photographs in this book are deeper and more epic, timeless and
thoughtful.
Collected together from international beauty, fashion, portrait and
advertising campaigns, Rankin's Beautyfull is a heady mixture of highly
finished make-up, styling, lighting and composition. Perfectionism is a
hallmark of Rankin's photography, but what emerges from each shot is also
the sitter's natural beauty, regardless of age or fame.
