Inspirational Blind Photographers and their Portfolios

When we look through the lens we are really only using one sense, sight. How would we cope if that was taken from us either partially or fully?

Below are very talented photographers that happen to be blind in various degrees. They are examples of what is possible when your passion for something is larger than the walls placed before you. I find inspiration in this and I hope you do too.

Alex Dejong

Jason DeCamillis

Tim O’Brien

Kurt Weston

Bruce Hall

Pete Eckert

Victorine Floyd Fludd

I have only listed a few here but there are many more talented blind photographers out there. Please check out these links to find out more.

  With often extensive image manipulation the retoucher can create a whole new digital image.
