Earlier this year, celebrated photographer Rankin briefly turned his back on the glitz and glamour and took his camera to the refugee camps of the war-torn DR Congo.

These portraits capture the true personalities of people living in one of the most troubled places on earth.

Antoinette, 70. Wife and Granny
" My husband was a businessman. He is dead. One night those men entered the village. They were assaulting us, shooting people, and setting fire to our homes. My husband was shot. I found his body on the street. I didn't attempt to bury him. I couldn't. I had to run. I want my message to be heard. I want an end to this war."

Tumani (Hope), 38. Tailor "This sewing machine is all I could take with me. It was heavy, difficult to carry, but I couldn't leave it behind. This sewing machine feeds my eight children and me. If someone were to take this from me, they would be taking my life."
