This rotation I have been researching two modern and emerging photographers, Rankin and Platon. Both are very well noted for their work in portraiture, especially of celebrities and world leaders.
Recently Rankin has been working on several advertisements, most notably for the world cup. Including the Africa against AIDS foundation, and Nike. His eye for poses and backgrounds are really catch the eye and never fail to amaze.
Platon has photographed everything from ordinary people, to world leaders in Russia, to Bono. His use of close up photos of wide angle lenses are truly unique and prove to be very interesting shots. Platon is most renown for his many photographs of world leaders on the cover of multiple TIME magazine.

Looking forward to your presentation Phil. I know a little about Rankin already, and can't wait to learn more about them both.
