There are at least 2.2 billion people globally who have some form of visual impairment1, for whom photography remains largely out of reach.

The photograph on display in the video is part of Canon Ambassador Brent Stirton's “Rhino Wars” series, and depicts the world’s last male northern white rhinoceros, standing in the Kenyan savanna, flanked by the heavily armed men paid to protect him.

Using the Canon PRISMAelevate XL software and the Arizona printer series, Brent's photograph becomes a tactile experience, helping blind conservationist Lawrence Gunther to conjure the picture in his mind's eye.

If you'd like to experience Brent's photograph in real life, visit The ‘World Unseen’ photography exhibition, which will be held at Somerset House, London between 5-7 April 2024, in partnership with the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB). Designed with the experience of blind and partially sighted people in mind, the exhibition will feature a series of photographs taken by world-renowned photographers. These are accompanied by elevated prints, audio descriptions, soundscapes and braille for a tactile experience that helps visitors connect with these powerful images and the stories they tell.
