Sofasosexy

Throughout his high profile career as an international portrait photographer, Rankin has built an unrivalled reputation for his skill in making his subjects feel comfortable in front of the camera. So for this deeply personal foray away from the unreal world of celebrity cover shoots and high-end image manipulation, it is fitting that Rankin has chosen the decidedly un-glam but universally familiar setting of a battered old sofa upon which to capture a charcteristically honest and humourous study of sexual intimacy.Discarding their inhibitions along with their underwear, some of the sexiest models and glamour girls on the planet willingly melded lips, lashes and cleavage with the seams and folds of the orange mock-leather sofa in Rankin's Dazed & Confused HQ, conspiring with his mischievous desire to show real eroticism isn't to be found in the silk sheets or limo seats of Playboy shoots. For genuine, giggling, toe-curling intimacy, look no further than the cheap seats.Now are you sitting comfortably?
