Larger Than Life

A celebration of life and laughter

Launched in September 2008, Larger Than Life is a new and different initiative of international celebrity portraits - actors, sports stars, comedians and musicians including the likes of Kevin Spacey, Jack Dee, Martin Johnson and Chris Martin.

Famous portrait photographer Rich Hardcastle has taken the pictures and is renowned for his ability to capture the mood of the moment in a really relaxed and informal way. Each of the limited editions prints has original signatures by the celebrity and include their personal message in the form of few witty or philosophical lines that sum up their take on life and laughter.

Towards the end of the project we will be hosting an auction evening to sell the highly-prized original canvas photographs that has been created alongside the prints. As the limited edition prints sell out these orginal canvas are becoming valuable images.

Every print sold helps Trinity to maintain its vital care services for terminally ill people – to buy a print please click here.

It’s fantastic that so many famous people are supporting Trinity and helping us to raise funds in this unique way. We need to raise nearly £8 million each year to maintain our care services for our patients and their families and we rely on the generosity of people and organisations in our community to achieve this.
