BBC Four - Great British Photography Challenge, Series 1, Episode 2

The photographers take on boxing, a Birmingham market and a fashion editorial.

The photographers face a speed assignment in the boxing gym, go in search of documenting life in a Birmingham market and are tasked with a high-end fashion shoot in Rankin’s studio.

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.
