This Book Is Called #NSFW, and It Definitely Is

If you don’t know the name of British photographer (and Dazed and Confused co-founder) Rankin, you undoubtedly know his work — he’s shot virtually every celebrity alive, from David Bowie and Mick Jagger to Grimes and Idris Elba.

For the most part, the celebrities were clothed.

Which brings us to #NSFW.

Trust a man who married a model 16 years his junior to have an appreciation for the female form — evident in nearly every page of #NSFW, which collects the best nudes shot over the entirety of his career.

He’s been shooting for 25 years. Which means there are a lot of nudes to choose from.

Want a taste of his aesthetic? Look no further than this ad for lingerie line Coco de Mer, who hired him to direct a spot in 2015. In short: bondage, boobs, spanking, boobs, a motorcycle crash and a bird that thinks it’s in a totally different advertisement. Watch at your own risk — if it wasn’t obvious, both the clip and the images below are solidly NSFW.
