Photographer Rankin, more accustomed to Britney, Kylie or Kate, has turned his lens on one of the most troubled places on earth, to celebrate the spirit in adversity of people forced to live in the Mugunga camp in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

He travelled to the camp with studio lighting and white backgrounds used in his celebrity portraiture. Today, 32 of the images mounted on 7ft stands will be shown outside the National Theatre in London as part of an attempt by Oxfam to raise awareness of the situation in the Congo.

Niluccio's thoughts:

Nice pic in the (printed) version of the Guardian (but not in the online piece). I'd say: read this then Google Rankin's DRC pics.
