Just a photographer living life.
Memphis-born Freddie L. Rankin II has been a photographic artist since he received his first camera at twenty years of age. Self-taught, Rankin has had a notable fascination with film photography, traveling across the Caribbean, Europe, and the United States, capturing what he deems a deeply “personal narrative…, the untold story of life as an African-American male in a cross-cultural world.”
Rankin is a 2019 M.F.A. graduate of Bard College.
