Sky Arts are the proud partners of Rankin Live. Renowned photographer, Rankin has captured everyone from the Queen to Kate Moss and for his latest project Rankin Live, he is looking for 1,000 people aged 13 and over to help create a unique photographic record of Britain in the 21st century. Each portrait will be exhibited alongside Rankin’s iconic images and each person who takes part will receive a print of their portrait for £50, all the profits are being donated to Oxfam.  

Sky Arts teamed up with Rankin to bring Rankin Live to the Urbis in Manchester, and The Walker Gallery, World Museum Building in Liverpool. Rankin set up a temporary studio in a city centre location for one day only before heading to Liverpool on Thursday 16th July and finally back to London where the portraits will be displayed as part of the Rankin Live exhibition in the Truman Brewery.

Sky Arts will follow Rankin on his journey through this incredible photographic project in an exclusive documentary, as one of our 24 partnerships a year with arts organisations from across the UK. The 30 minute film will capture the project in Manchester, Liverpool and London as well as drawing on Rankin’s previous work to provide a behind the scenes look at the process of photography and this cutting edge project.
