Instant Fame & Gratification

As the accelerated pace of the digital age reaches full velocity, Rankin, a photographer, publisher and most recently a director is pairing up with the British magazine Dazed for an ever-changing exhibit, Rankin Live. Selected participants - 1,000 members of the general public get a chance to have their portraits shot, framed and exhibited alongside British icons of the 21st century in record time - 15 minutes after the shutter closes to be exact. Amazing, groundbreaking, instant gratification!

The exhibit is slated to take place in August.

  1. just think...the beginnings of photography had people sitting for hours on end--completely still--to get just 1 photograph.
