Cancer survivors, deaf children showcase their photography skills during the Covid-19 pandemic

Updated On: 19 August, 2022 02:38 PM IST |

Rajen Nair, a Mumbai-based partially-deaf photographer, has created two social media handles called 'Enabled Photography' and 'Cancer Art Project' to showcase the work of his students, who have a hearing disability or are cancer survivors from the city and around India. Since the young camera aficionados were bored indoors due to the Covid-19 pandemic, he encouraged them to keep busy by clicking local photographs which he shares on these pages. Here are some of the scenes they captured.
