Rankin does Rosie

Rankin is all over the place these days. With recently having directed Kelis's 'Acapella' video as well as exercising his photographic talents shooting some of the most influential and beautiful women in the world it is no surprise that his latest collaboration with up-and-coming model-turned-actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was a huge success. Scores of people gathered to the innermost depths of Camden town last night to see the opening exhibit of the images. Rosie is dripped in black paint, studded with rhinestones, windswept on a desert plain and and in one image, standing atop a mass of animal skulls, like a modern queen Boudicca. Rankin's incredible talent in capturing the most beautifully stirring images is blatant. In one image, Rosie, (depicted as a coquettish pin-up) stands over a bed, and slyly entrances her viewer as she unzips her skin-tight leather skirt to reveal the cleft of an innocent butt-cheek, so subtle in detail, it makes you look twice to realise what exactly she's doing.
As revelers mingled amidst the hung photographs, bathed in a blue light that illuminated the main area, LBF happened to notice the likes of Erin O'Connor and Paula Wylde (of label Thomas Wylde) brush past. Paula was the one to suggest the project to Rankin, and Rosie is seen in some pictures wearing some of her label's trademark scorpion prints. At the moment Rosie is currently filming in America for her upcoming role in the next Transformers film, and I have no doubt we'll be seeing much more of her very soon...

Videos from the shoot were projected onto the walls, showing our model in various forms of transformation; as a ballerina and a matador.
