Photographer<\/em>, in collaboration with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ojosquesienten.org\/_OldPage\/en\/mostrar.php?var1=30\">Ojos Que Sienten<\/a>, an organisation that runs \u2018sensorial photography\u2019 workshops for the visually impaired.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018By focusing on other personal tools at their disposal beyond the sense of light, such as smell or hear [ing]; by making them conscious of their capacities and individual abilities, they are able to discover, interpret, build, imagine and so much more,\u2019 says the Mexican-based body on its website.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We are able to create spaces where visual communication acquires a whole different dimension.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Magnum president Martin Parr said of the 150-photo book: \u2018A revelation\u2026 they capture a feeling about the world and their relationship to it through photography which is often elegant and compelling as sighted photographers.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It is not only a great surprise but very life assuring.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Blind music legend Stevie Wonder said: \u2018The best thing to do with stereotypes and preconceptions is to challenge them, and this book\u2026 does just that.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It breaks down barriers from both sides, and shows what can be achieved if you turn your back on the doubters and just follow your dreams.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Visions are not seen purely by the eyes, but through the spirit.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The photographers \u2013 who hail from countries including Mexico, India, China and the UK \u2013 have written testimonies accompanying their photos that give a \u2018unique insight into the visualisation of the sight-impaired\u2019, according to the book\u2019s publisher Redstone Press.<\/p>\n<p>Applauding the \u2018huge social and therapeutic impact\u2019 of such projects, the publisher added: \u2018It\u2019s important to note that the book is not about the blind, but it will provoke the sighted to imagine more fully the human condition of those who are visually impaired.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><em>The Blind Photographer<\/em>, edited by Julian Rothenstein and Mel Gooding,<em>\u00a0<\/em> costs \u00a329.95 and is due out on 8 September.<\/p>\n<p>A book launch and talk will take place on 8 September at The Photographers\u2019 Gallery in London, where work from the book will be on display.<\/p>\n<p>For details of the book
