Moss, one of the most photographed women in the world, said of Rankin: “Any time Rankin takes a picture he knows what he wants, and there is really no chance of being anyone but who you are, even if you try. You can trust him. I trust him.”

The Scottish-born fashion photographer and co-founder of Dazed & Confused magazines said: “Portraiture has always been a central aspect of my work. I love connecting with people, working with them to get not only a great photograph, but one that captures a little bit of who they are.”

Portraits by Rankin is distributed in the UK by Turnaround, priced £40, www.turnaround-uk.com. An exhibition of the work will run from 18th June - 18th July at Annroy Gallery, details can be found at www.rankin.co.uk
