Rankin Live - Reminder

A few months back I blogged about Rankin's upcoming exhibit in London and today I received a reminder email from Dazed that I thought I would pass along:
From the 1st August 2009 for 7 weeks, Rankin will take up residence at the Truman Brewery, Brick Lane. A 600 image retrospective of his work and a live photo shoot will feature side by side. You have the opportunity to be photographed by Rankin for £50 (all profits going to Oxfam). In addition to receiving a print, your image will also form part of the live exhibition alongside some of Rankin’s most iconic images, including portraits of The Queen, Kate Moss and Vivienne Westwood to name a few. For a chance to participate, please email rankinlive@rankin.co.uk. Please include a photograph of yourself and briefly summarise your reasons for applying.

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.
