Top photographer Rankin has shot Kate Moss, Juliette Binoche and Gisele, but England’s Queen Elizabeth remains his favorite. He shot her in 2002 and juxtaposed the portrait with the Union Jack flag. He told us, “She has a dry sense of humor. Something fell off my camera, and the queen laughed and said, ‘You’ve dropped something.’ I wanted to capture that, so I went all Austin Powers — I was like, ‘Ma’am, could you smile, please, ma’am, please?’ ” She smiled and the iconic photo was made. Rankin will be shooting portraits of real New Yorkers starting June 1 at Milk Studios, which is also exhibiting his work from today.
