Legendary British photographer Rankin has joined forces with blindness charity Sightsavers to highlight the fact that women are twice as likely as men to be blind. His striking photographs, produced in collaboration with six world-renowned makeup artists, are showcased on a recently launched Sightsavers microsite. “I can’t imagine what it must be like to be blind and I can’t even begin to comprehend the distress it causes. What is most upsetting is that so much is treatable, and people suffer unnecessarily. With so many women affected by blindness, the work of Sightsavers is of vital importance. They are reaching people who often have no access to help, and taking the inequality out of treatment,” Rankin says. To see his photos and to learn more, visit the website below.
