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.

ok but people with tritanopia literally don't see like this lol. i have it and we can absolutely see that grass and leaves are green, it doesn't come up red.
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!

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.
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! :)

These are very cool. The world would be in a constant state of autumn. Not that they'd know that.
Maybe with different types of colorblindness.

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...
It's very beautiful, but i just imagine to see like that all the time
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.
