Meet India’s vision-impaired photographers who use technology and grit to make their mark
The HinduA strip of cloud cut across the sun, over a grand old dormant volcano in Mauritius — a beautiful setting for a picture, thought Pranav Lal, on honeymoon with his wife Sacheta. “First, it takes live camera views and translates them to a defined set of sounds.” So images are converted into stereo sound by scanning them from left to right — the brighter the object, the louder the sound; the greater the elevation, the higher the pitch. “Once I see what I like, I press click on my smartphone camera.” The contrast in light is why he loves taking pictures of landscapes and structures. “We travelled to different locations in Delhi to capture different scenarios with an Oppo smartphone.” Under Blind With Camera, many others like Bhavesh have been experimenting with photography as a hobby. “Otherwise, before we would have to turn the rear camera and never know if the framing is right.” Pranav is a huge supporter of using better technology, not just to click pictures, but also to perceive them.
