Photography Exhibition by Vision Impaired Artists

Two photographs side by side. On the left: Photo shows a rugged, eroded cliffside under a cloudy sky. In the foreground, the ground is uneven and rocky, with reddish-brown soil and chunks of stone scattered around. Some areas look freshly exposed, as if rain or wind recently washed parts of the earth away. There’s a small patch of muddy water near the bottom of the scene. In the background, the cliff rises sharply upward. Its face is light beige with dark grey and brown layers running through it, showing how the earth has built up over time. The top of the cliff is covered with a thin layer of green grass and small patches of yellow wildflowers. Deep cracks run down parts of the cliff, hinting that pieces might eventually break off. On the Right: Photo shows a black and white close up image of a wooden groyne with 6 small pebbles stuck in the small gap of the groyne through the larger gap at the top of the picture you can just make out the clifftop.

We’re excited to share that our Vision Impaired Photography Group has a special exhibition on display at Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital (NNUH)! All of the stunning photographs have been taken by our clients, showcasing their creativity, talent, and unique perspectives.
