The blind photographer cannot see a butterfly perched perfectly still on a flower, a bowl of sweet-smelling fruit, or a child's rattle on a darkened floor, but the mind's eye is sharply focused. How then, do blind or partially sighted people capture such extraordinary images? The photographs in this revelatory book suggest a deeper truth: that blindness is itself a kind of seeing, and that those who can see are often blind to the strangeness and beauty of the world around them. As the blind photographer Evgen Bavcar writes, "Photography must belong to the blind, who in their daily existence have learned to become the masters of camera obscura." Through the photographs of more than fifty blind or partially sighted people from around the world, this exhilarating book—the first to explore this phenomenon in all its vibrancy and diversity—will make you see differently.

Many of the vast number of camera owners today aspire to taking better pictures than the occasional snapshot and yet most are often disappointed with the results. Photography leads and teaches by example with each technique examined in depth and accompanied by a clear and jargon-free text. Divided into sixteen modules, it teaches the correct approach to great picture making from holding the camera properly to manipulating images shot on the latest digital cameras. The step-by-step approach to popular themes—such as holidays, children, pets and the nude – are covered in depth. Inspiring creativity at the same time as providing easy-to-understand technical knowledge, manipulating a camera will become as much second nature as handling a car.
