I taught photography to students who were visually impaired; by using creative teaching techniques. During 2015, I was introduced by my friend to one visually impaired student; who's excellent in the skill of drama, and he wants to understand; how photography works, and how he can also learn to take photos of different things and places near him. So he can show to others what he feels, and place where he lives. I thought it's an excellent idea so I decided to not only teach photography to him but organize photography session; where I and my fellow photographer friends teach them how to take photos with the camera and their mobile-phone.
It was a tough and challenging task as they don't know what they are shooting, and some of them touched camera first time so they don't know which button to press to click the photo, and either they held the camera correctly or not? With all these challenges; we found a solution for all the problems by working together as a team. We discover that after sometimes, they became comfortable with the camera, and they were using the camera to click what they hear; what they feel. All the final photographs are natural and attractive; because they were captured by heart.
these are the photographs that were taken by my visually impaired students during sessions.
