An Interview with a BLIND Photographer

Fred contacted me a little while ago when I mentioned something about blind photographers. I was not sure how many if any were around and I mentioned that in one of my videos.

Now many of you don't know that I was born with a hereditary eye condition that left me having major eye surgery at the age of five. Some of you have noticed my eyes shaking in some of my videos and that was just one part of what I was born with. But this is not a story about me, this is a story about Fred, a person who overcame his blindness to let the world see the images that he may never see.

As you will hear in the interview I was trying to understand what it was like to shoot blind. Some of my questions may seem a little basic but I really wanted to know what it was like. Can you see light and dark, are there shapes there so on and so forth.

The amazing thing is that Fred is able to capture sharp, colorful and well composed images. He mentions how important sound is, because if there is no sound he wont know where to take the picture.

I think I may just have to challenge myself to a blind 5 Min Portait and see what the results may be. See if I can visualize the images in my mind and attempt to capture it. I think I will have a spotter, someone to help me make sure I change the settings properly in my camera. Someone who I can ask questions of and to attempt to get the image correct.

Be sure to read Freds e mail below as it will give you an understanding of who he is and why he does what he does.
