John 'Rankin' Waddell is a British portrait and fashion photographer from Hertfordshire. This photo is of controversial pop-singer Miley Cyrus. In December 2000 Rankin launched his own quarterly fashion magazine, RANK. He also publishes Another Magazine, Another Man and more recently "HUNGER".
Rankin is known for his use of bright, clear lighting which is apparent here. The lighting cast very little shadows on the face, in contrast to Slimane's more moody lighting. Rankin often incorporates more daring aspects of make-up and hair into his commercial shots and this shot doesn't disappoint - the use of nudity and an abundance of glitter is something which is more difficult to recreate and eye-catching to the audience. The background is completely in darkness where as the subject is lit very well and it creates a dramatic contrast.
