Today, Rankin is perhaps best known for images of supermodels like Heidi Klum and Kate Moss, acting legends like Robert Downey Jr. and music icons like The Rolling Stones and David Bowie. He has also produced successful campaigns for brands such as Unilever, L'Oreal and Samsonite, done wide-ranging projects for charities such as Women's Aid and Macmillan, and directed music videos for Miley Cyrus, Rita Ora and Kelis.
