| Hey Lydia, would you like to travel to Arizona, US. You could take photographs of the holes in my walls from my son's head banging. How about my scratches and bruises from his rages. Maybe you could take pictures of him hitting or spittting on his little brother. Hey I am accepting of my son's condition too. I just hope you and others don't think it is a frolik in the park raising an autistic child. Dare to enter our world with your lense? Most likely you will leave with a broken camera and move on to photographing flowers or something. Good luck!! ↑ |
| I met a photographer who speacialized in photographing special needs children. Often stock photograph's of theese children do not truly show who that child really is. The photog, I met used spinning toys to get autistic childrens attention for face shots. Candid shots are the best. She took photos of a blind girl looking into her mothers face. I cant tell you what that was worth to the mom. Your best bet would be to spend time with the children first, see them for who they are, Capture the unbelievable love they have with their parents. Unfortunetly, the earlier mother is right, there are violent moments. But always there are sweet ones that mothers would give anything to have imortalized. ↑ |
Hey I live in Australia if your ever over here you can photo my son! He is very handsome and very disabled! I think what your trying to do is special and you have been touched and that's a good thing! See this is what it is all about, people doing something to inspire others!
Cheers! ↑ |
