Rankin - CeleBritation - 2000

With an introduction by Harland Miller, CeleBritation is a collection of off-guard photographs captured over the past decade of rock stars, actors, artists and models. Renowned for his insightful portraits, Rankin's photographs in CeleBritation go further to reveal the unguarded moments during a shoot when even the most photographed individuals stop noticing the camera. Containing exclusive pictures, Rankin's huge collection of celebrity photographs are presented together for the first time creating a document of contemporary culture and its most celebrated individuals.

The parade of stars unveiled, including Helena Christensen, Quentin Tarantino, Mary J Blige, Burt Bacharach, Robbie Williams, Jude Law, Kate Moss, Mel C and David Bowie, provides an alternative commentary on the nature of stardom during a decade in which the UK capitulated to the American way of celebrity.
