This is nothing short of awesome and a genius idea for Oxfam. One of the best photographers in the world, Rankin, has teamed up with the charity to host a Rankin Live event. For £50 (all money goes to Oxfam), you can have your portrait taken for charity in a 15-minute session. This portrait will then be displayed at the exhibition and online.
There are no conditions--you can be as ugly as sin, as long as you are over 13 years old.
The event takes place in August and September and the application window is already open for submissions.
