Celebrity photographer Rankin has partnered with Great Ormond Street Hospital to create school day portraits for seriously ill children, ensuring they don't miss out on traditional milestone moments. Through professional portraits, Rankin aims to capture memories that help the families contextualize their experiences. He emphasizes the importance of providing children with normal life experiences, especially during critical illnesses. Meeting the children was both humbling and extraordinary for Rankin, who hopes these photographs not only create lasting memories but also enhance understanding of the charity's important work in supporting sick children and their families.
“You want to have the memory, he told the PA news agency... We want them to have the opportunity to have normal life experiences whilst they're ill.”
“Photographs are these brilliant things. They're like little packages that go through time and space and they really help you contextualise and have a memory of what was going on.”
