“I photographed this on location around the Poultry Market in Smithfield. Earlier in the day we had been shooting in a studio, but for the second half we wanted to create a completely different feel so we went out on the street. The shoot was commissioned by Select magazine and a studio image of Brett was the cover image, but I’ve always liked these location shots, they feel a little different.

It was quite early on in my career, and I was very excited to meet Brett Anderson, as he was of the Britpop royalty. I just remember him being incredibly cool, the camera loves him so it made my job very easy. Unlike a lot of the other Britpop bands this was my only shoot with him, which was a pity because I really liked his style.

What I love the most is how dignified Brett is. He was not one to look like he was trying hard in pictures. Everything he did had a kind of ease to it. Back then I think that was quite unique as everybody else was very in your face, whereas he was the opposite.

He was just very very cool! Almost what I thought Bowie was going to be like but he was the opposite. Bowie was cool because he was so enthusiastic, Brett was cool because he was so laid-back.” - Rankin on Brett Anderson
