The BBC has posted a wonderful video on the Sight Unseen exhibit of blind photographers. “Blind photographers showcase workk” is a short video clip of images from the exhibit, narrated by curator Douglas McCulloh.
An exhibition called ‘Sight Unseen’ has opened at the California Museum of Photography which showcases the work of twelve blind photographers from around the world.
The curator of Sight Unseen, Douglas McCulloh, explains how visually impaired people are able to capture such beautiful images.
McCulloh articulates how true photographers are envisioned in the mind of the photographer, not in the eye. He goes on to discuss how this works in several of the exhibited photos. On a personal level, I find making photos to be more of a mental process than a visual one as well. A while back, I posted about Stitching Sight, which talks about how I build a mental image since I cannot use the viewfinder.
