Rankin, 'Shooting The Hollywood Stars'

Recently I watched a documentary on BBC about Rankin's recent project in which he recreated iconic photographs of Hollywood stars. I am inspired by this project as in my final project I have to recreate settings and people. 

Micheal Sheen as Charlie Chaplin, with Rankin himself.

Micheal Sheen really got into his character in this photo shoot - he wanted everything to look genuine and perfect and really focused on choosing the correct makeup and props.

Charlie Chaplin - The Tramp 1914, unknown photographer.

Leslie Mann as Greta Garbo.

This in my opinion was proberbly the easiest photo shoot as Leslie Mann looks so similar to Greta Garbo and there was'nt any props to be used.

Tulili (Rankins Wife) as Jane Russell.

This was the hardest as they had lots of issues with the lighting.
