Abstract

Approaching photography to visually impaired people is the proposal we have developed with members of ONCE (Spanish National Organisation for the Blind). This experience consists in a photography workshop involving reading and creating pictures as an interrelated way for a visual understanding. The relationship between photography and blindness raises questions that highlight the difficulty of overcoming certain concepts apprehended culturally. Studying the meaning of blindness helps us to understand the close connections that exist between what we perceive and what we think. Once we have analysed some photographic projects created by blind artists, we recognise that there are other ways of creating pictures that enrich our way of conceiving photography. Analysing its artistic processes let us to found three general stages that show how to create photographs from blindness. It would help us to design our proposal. This workshop defines guidelines for a didactic approach of understanding photography by blind people. This experience reflects the importance of understanding an image through a creative process. By sequencing photographic practices that we draw upon the spaces of domination and control by blind people, we are generating confidence in their own abilities to create pictures.
