What is seeing? Seeing with Photography Collective is a New York based group, whose work is a collaboration between visually impaired and sighted photographers. There are some absolutely stunning images in the photo gallery. And the technique is explained: Sighted assistants focus and compose the view camera's frame directed by the blind artist. Then, in a darkened room, we leave the camera's shutter open as we slowly paint our sitter with a small flashlight ...human scaled exposures, lasting many minutes, rather than the instant shutter click we typically hear. Luminous distortions, blurred or glowing forms result from the technique, not digital altering.
