Yesterday in Shoreditch I stumbled across the first issue of a great new bi-annual magazine called the Hunger. Claiming to be aimed at 'the culturally and visually hungry' this mag, or should I say textbook (it's over 500 pages long) certainly delivers a breath of fresh air to the hungry eyes and mind.
Rankin, the editor, who has been a photographer for many years, has shot many of the images himself. Hat's off to him - they are all magnificent and almost certainly will curb the hunger of the visually hungry.
Rankin states in his first editors letter that the magazine is 'not about being cool, knowledgeable or elisist' but simply what fascinates and excites him. Amazing.
With stunning shoots, and informally raw and intriguing interviews with huge names such as Erin O'Connor, and Danny Dyer as well as up-and-comers like Sky Ferreira (who features on some covers, Rhys Ifans on the others), this cultural bible is well worth the minuscule £4.00 price.
I especially love how Rankin did a huge shoot with Cheryl Cole is some jaw dropping couture but didn't feel the need to stick an interview or feature in, just the images. That was all which was needed.
