Product Description

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).

Full / completely filled

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.

Customer Reviews

What a bargain!
For less than £10 this book offers a great selection of Rankin's portraits of beautiful women. I bought it primarily as a study aid, to analyse his lighting techniques, but got a lot more than I expected. Great photos, great value

Beautiful Pictures :)
Some really good pictures- great as a visual learning aid to boost off inspiration!

Only thing is that you should not is they are very thin pages so be carefu with it, not like thick strong pages you get with most books.

All in all its a good price and he really projects all types of woman in their natural beauty with his classical manner. Reccomended for fashionista photographers!

I want to rip it up.....in a good way
This book is a little annoying. Some or most of the photos are spread over two pages and it makes me want to rip them out and just put them on the wall...but then I'd feel bad.

Lovely collection of shots.I know it sounds a little odd but the paper is really soft to touch too. Not a very useful book but nice for a flick through
