The language of photography is a social project implemented by the Ukrainian Association of Professional Photographers (UAPP) in educational and rehabilitation centers in Kharkiv and Kyiv for children with speech and hearing impairments.
The sessions were conducted by experienced educators who are UAPP members. They included general photography lectures adapted for children with hearing impairments, covering basic skills in photographic art, introducing the fundamentals of composition, systematizing the knowledge gained, and ultimately providing tools for artistic self-expression and further development for children interested in photography.
The General Director of the Ukrainian Association of Professional Photographers, Myroslav Chernov, notes:
"We are confident that children with hearing impairments can fully realize their creative talents and potential through the 'Language of Photography.' The project will give them the opportunity to engage in dialogue with society through their knowledge of photography, or to express themselves in the field of photography in the future."
