Inspired by the works of a blind French Photographer Evgen Bavcar, Mumbai based Partho Bhowmick started Blind with Camera Project in India in early 2006. Eversince he has been conducting workshops and teaching photography to the visually impaired people.
The blind photographers employ various strategies to conjure an image. Some take sound as a cue and treat camera as an extension of their inner self. Some draw their references from the reservoir of the visuals in their memory. And some capture the world to bring it closer to their visible spectrum. In the entire process of creating a photograph they engage with the medium at various levels. Here is an insightful conversation with the founder of the Blind with Camera Project, Mr. Partho Bhowmick and Mr. George Abraham. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_bui4XoQlY http://eyeway.org/?q=conversation-partho-bhowmick-photography-visually-impaired-people -- Best Monica Verma Communications Officer Score Foundation 17/107 Lower Ground Floor, Vikram Vihar, Lajpat Nagar IV New Delhi-110024 Ph no.: +91-11-26472582/ 46070396 Website: www.eyeway.org www.scorefoundation.org.in Eyeway Helpdesk: 1800-300-20469 Register at the dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phones / Tabs on: http://mail.accessindia.org.in/mailman/listinfo/mobile.accessindia_accessindia.org.in Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/accessindia@accessindia.org.in/ To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.
