Great British Photography Challenge (2021)
The search is on for an exciting new name in British photography. Six talented photographers from across the UK embark on the photographic masterclass of a lifetime with Rankin.
Seasons & Episode
The search for Britain's best amateur photographer begins with a blustery Brighton seafront, a nature assignment in the New Forest with Chris Packham and a celebrity portrait with Anna Friel.
This week sees 'The Six' challenged to use their smartphone to capture the fast-moving arena of the boxing ring, with Rankin offering the opportunity for one image from each to be uploaded to his social media platforms. Whose images will capture the imagination of his followers? The students then travel to Birmingham's wholesale market to meet with award-winning artist and photographer Maryam Wahid, who takes them into the world of documentary photography. The third challenge featured in this episode sees them tasked with their first high-end fashion shoot, under the guidance of Rankin and creative direction of international stylist and fashion editor Cheryl Konteh.
The search for an exciting new name in British photography continues. This week sees The Six challenged to capture the character of flowers in rural Herefordshire, the adrenalin of urban free running and impress Rankin with a brand advertising assignment. The pressure is on!
