My name is Davide Sasso and I just finished my photography project. With these photos I tried to simulate the the view of a colorblind with Tritanopia.
Tritanopia is a form of color blindness in which the retina is deficient in or lacks cone cells containing opsins that respond to the color blue, resulting in an inability to distinguish blue from green.
There are several variations of vision deficiency, such as Deuteranomalia (which makes everything look a little faded), Protanopia (which makes everything seem a little green), and as I said, Tritanopia (greenish-pink tones). Only around 0.00003% of the world’s population suffers from total color blindness (Monochromacy).
The places of the photos are many, from the Three Peaks of Lavaredo to the Lake of Braies, from Florence to the forest of Sila, in Calabria. I wanted to shoot those photos because I wanted to show to the people and to myself, how a colorblind sees the world.

That's actually so beautiful is it wrong to say I might like to see things like that?
I guess the green is dark green ? I actually can't really see this kind of shade, I just see it as grey. That explains why my sister didn't get it when I said this picture was so depressing...
I'm red- green colorblind but I can't see a thing unusual about these pictures. Apparently I'm color screwed worse than I thought.
I slightly saturated the images to make the photos more impactful. However, the message I want to convey is the same: the world is beautiful with any eyes you look at it!
Kenny some questions I have always wondered. Do you perceive these images as reddish? Do you understand what say green is vs blue? Things that are red or green what are they to you? Just makes me realize how much I would love to sit down and talk to someone with this type of vision and just try and imagine their point of view. As a kid I spent hours talking to a friend who was deaf trying to experience their point of view as never hearing a sound since birth. I find it intriguing how something I take for granted is dealt with by another without that perception. Not as a lacking of something but simply not experiencing and how that would be.
Okay, I'll give it a shot. Red, green, and brown are all variations of the same color to me. Same with blue, gray, and pink. I say variations because if they're side by side I can tell they're different. Same color but one will be "" brighter " than the others. A rainbow is a band of yellow with some other nondescript colors below it. For some reason movies and tv are unusually colorful. I still see a lot of beautiful things, just differently I guess.
How's the Christmas season for you then?
Beautiful
