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?
Oh wow that’s so cool! So everything they see is red or just trees and grass?
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...
Yes, the green is a dark and a little bit saturated green.
Load More Replies...That's the meaning of the project. Thank you so much!
Load More Replies...how can I get exactly the color shades for this effect? do you have a filter?
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!
Load More Replies...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!
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.
