The world as we knew has paused for the moment, perhaps changed forever. The global pandemic of COVID-19 is posing huge and unfolding challenges for the entire humanity. Most of us are feeling especially dejected in our isolation and stressed out by unpredictable time ahead.
Spending most of our time at home and limited outdoor activities, as photo enthusiast or professional one may be thinking that their options for photography projects are pretty limited, even lack inspiration or frustrated that they can’t go to cool locations. Professionals can't work on photo assignments - some unfinished, some on hold, some postponed or cancelled.
Photography is the medium of light. Multi-Sensory Photography is the ground zero of photography; it is art of taking pictures without the use sight. Multi-Sensory Photography is predominantly practiced by the visually impaired while people with sighted may experience it using blindfold.
e-Blindfold Multi-Sensory Photography workshops over virtual platforms like ZOOM will reduce mental stress of participants, “fill-in” for the deficit of creative opportunity while staying at home and limited outdoor activities, keep them creatively engage while learning a whole new experience of taking photographs and discover “self”. Pictures taken participants will be exhibited in e-Gallery.
For visually impaired who has not yet explored photography, its a great time to give it a try. At e-photo workshops they can learn how to go about taking pictures, explore taking pictures on their own and share pictures with trainers for feedback and guidance. Virtual photo workshop sessions will be preparatory for physical workshops with the visually impaired in post COVID-19
