F*ck Y*u

Insults fly on every page of Rankin's forthcoming book. What a fucking rude bunch these celebrities are! 'Fuck You Rankin' collates Rankin's most iconic shots. Each portrait sees the famed photographer being given the one finger salute by some of his boldest subjects.

The series of notoriously cheeky photographs, exclusive outtakes from a number of shoots, sees the likes of Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Robbie Williams and Heidi Klum (you know the shot) flipping the bird left, right and centre. And what is the relevance of this obscene Western hand gesture? Is it really
that obscene? Well, history states that this very rude finger is a symbol of a handful of topics unsuitable for the dinner table. So, Rankin being Rankin, thought he'd curate a book of many famous middle fingers. How rude!

Starring: Dizee Rascal, Cheryl Cole, Abbey Clancey, Damian Lewis, Damien Hirst, Katy Perry, Keith Richards, Miley Cyrus, Ray Winstone, Robbie Williams, Ronnie Wood and many more.
