Discussing the awards, Rankin, who leads the judging panel, said: "Throughout my career, it's always been really important for me to support emerging and undiscovered talent in photography, so the opportunity to partner with one of music's biggest and most prestigious brands in Abbey Road Studios for this year's inaugural Music Photographer of the Year Awards, is massively exciting. "Music photography is an art form that doesn't get the recognition it deserves, so it's brilliant to celebrate those working in the field with these Awards. What I'm always looking for with photography is a connection with the subject matter and music has been one of my main passions for as long as I can remember, so this is a real thrill."
