Here’s How Colorblind People With Tritanopia See The World
44Kviews
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...
Kinda wish I was colorblind , it would be so cool to see things from this point of view.
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
Thanks Monica
U DA BEST
Thanks Man! <3
I've seen videos of people putting on special glasses that allow them to see true colors, and didn't fully understand why they would cry. Now I understand. Thank you for that!
Thanks Kathleen!
Absolutely Beautiful! I love why you started the project as well, This post has really helped me see you can see beauty through any eyes.
thanks!
Love all your photos!
Thanks mate!

Thank you so much Tamara!
Cool!
Thank you zì! <3
All these images are beautiful!!!!
Thank you!
Looks even more beautiful through their eyes.
extremely fascinating!
thanks!
These remind me of my experiments with Infrared pictures I took with my crappy cellphone (no IR filter) and some unexposed developed film as a filter. They seem very similar. I enjoyed looking at these Davide thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for your comment! :)
The pictures are amazing. But being colorblind is not always that easy and if you can only see some colors you're totally lacking the rest of them. But aside from that, great pictures.
Thank you so much!
These are very cool. The world would be in a constant state of autumn. Not that they'd know that.
Thank you Amina!
You're welcome, happy new year!
These pictures are beautiful
Thanks Veronica!
Really interesting :) Will you make other similar projects?
Maybe with different types of colorblindness.
That would be great to share! I teach 7th grade science and i plan on showing these photos to my students when we talk about heredity. It'll be great for them to have some sort of experience with one type of colorblindness
Several of my family members have a form of color blindness, including my son, so I find this project very informative. I'm often curious how they perceive the world's colors.
I have tritanopia. Did you manipulate a "normal" photo to make it look like what you think someone with tritanopia sees? If so, I'd love to see the original next to these photos. To be honest, most of these look off, so I'm thinking they are not a very accurate representation of tritanopia vision. This other article from Bored Panda is the best example I've seen: https://www.boredpanda.com/different-types-color-blindness-photos/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=organic The original photo and the "tritanopia" photo look the same to me in almost every case.
I wonder what a painting would look like done by someone with this. The color they'd see on paint tubes would match the color hey see, and it would match with the color people without it see. I'm guessing. Wonder if both would see 'normal' colors? Might be wonderfully different or something in between...
so the same thing that happens whenever my mom trips over my playstation cable
Very interesting, good photography as well! What about people? Do they see them in the same way? There's a fox that's shown in a Grey light so I'm just a little curious about hair colour, eyes, clothes.
It's very beautiful, but i just imagine to see like that all the time
Thanks!
So it is actually called "Color Vision Deficient", if you were "color blind" you would pretty much be close to being blind. The cones in your eyes would be ruined and you wouldn't be able to make anything out.
