I taught photography to students who were visually impaired; by using creative teaching techniques. In 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 others what he feels and the place where he lives. I thought it was an excellent idea, so I decided to teach photography to him and organize a photography workshop; where my fellow photographer friends and I teach them how to take photos with the camera and their mobile phone.
It was a tough and challenging task as they didn't know what they were shooting, and some of them touched the camera the first time, so students didn'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. We discover that after some time, 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 my visually impaired students took during sessions.
