00:00
Rankin was invited to Great Ormond Street Hospital by the Great Ormond Street Hospital
00:08
Charity, also known as the GOSH charity, which of course describes its mission as to make
00:16
the hospital a little bit easier and a lot more fun for the thousands of children who
00:23
are treated there every year.
00:26
The hospital in Camden is of course where children with some of the most, well some
00:32
of the rarest, most complex and serious illnesses in the country are treated.
00:39
Rankin is a world famous photographer from Glasgow.
00:44
Among the celebrities he has photographed is the King, Michael Jackson, Madonna and
00:50
David Bowie.
00:52
He has also directed music videos, documentaries, a feature film, short films and adverts.
00:59
He has exhibited in places such as the Victoria and Albert Museum, London's 180 Studios and
01:07
has run a number of charity campaigns such as photographing NHS workers during the pandemic.
01:14
The school photo day came as a survey of UK parents found that 88% feel collecting school
01:22
photos throughout their child's childhood is important, with more than half keeping
01:29
every single one.
01:31
Free coursers also look back at school photos to remind them of their child's journey.
01:38
Today we're here at Great Ormond Street Hospital to make sure that the children being treated
01:43
here don't miss out on childhood fun or milestone moments.
01:48
So today we've partnered with world famous photographer Rankin and it's school photo
01:54
day, our first ever school photo day at the hospital for children who might otherwise
01:59
miss out on this really important milestone and we know just how important school photos
02:05
are to children and at Gosh Charity our play team deliver amazing care for the children
02:12
here.
02:13
They help them prepare for procedures and we enable them to celebrate things like Mother's
02:17
Day and Easter but one thing we didn't do was give them an opportunity to have a school
02:23
photo so we thought that it was about time that we rectified that and who better to partner
02:28
with than Rankin.
