Rankin shoots Daisy Lowe for Earth Hour project

The British model Daisy Lowe has been photographed by the world-renowned Rankin to show her support for WWF's Global Earth Hour on Saturday 23 March.

At 8.30pm, hundreds of millions of people across the world will be turning off their lights for one hour, to take a stand for the future of the planet.

Daisy commented: "If we enjoy our planet then I believe we need to take care of it. I hope that people across the UK and the world will take a moment this Earth Hour to appreciate both the beauty and the fragility of the natural world that we rely on so much."

Rankin - who has shot the likes of Kate Moss and Kylie Minogue - has chosen to show the stunning eco-warrior star painted with a flower bursting into life from the cracked earth.

A number of celebrities are supporting this year's Earth Hour, including actress Jessica Alba and pop band McFly. Over 7,000 cities in 152 countries are expected to switch off as well as major landmarks like the Empire State building, the Eiffel Tower and the Great Wall of China.
