The Covid-19 pandemic may have dampened the spirits of many Mumbaikars but it has not deterred city-based photographer Rajen Nair from doing what he does best – teaching photography to children who are living with disabilities or being treated for cancer. 

When he couldn’t impart this love for the camera in-person due to the lockdown, the freelance lensman, who is in his mid-50s, encouraged students to put their clicks out into the world. They young learners have been using two social media accounts, ’Enabled Photography’ and ‘Cancer Art Project’ — which he launched in the early weeks of April 2020 — to continue experimenting with the art even in restricted conditions.
