John Dugdale is a renowned blind photographer whose work transcends traditional visual art, offering an intimate and evocative exploration of memory, loss, and beauty. After losing most of his sight due to an HIV-related illness in 1993, Dugdale adapted his artistic process, relying on residual vision and assistance to create cyanotype and platinum prints. His work often features dreamlike, classical compositions that evoke a sense of timelessness, drawing on literature, mythology, and personal experiences. Through his unique approach, Dugdale challenges conventional notions of disability and vision, demonstrating the profound ways in which art can convey inner worlds and emotional landscapes.
