Rankin Hearts The Queen

He's photographed all the biggest names in the celebrity and modeling worlds, but Rankin says none of them compare to Queen Elizabeth II.
The world renowned photographer reveals:
"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?'"
Rankin snapped away and ultimately juxtaposed Her Majesty's portrait on the Union Jack and thus an iconic image was born.
