NWNPHOTO
NwnPhoto, agency photographers with diversity (especially developmental disabilities and disorders), is a non-profit association, created on March 2013
1) These years we have dedicated them first to check:
- People with intellectual disabilities love photography and discover the world
- People with intellectual disabilities can take quality photographs professional
- People with intellectual disabilities receive many benefits from an activity like photography, becoming much more proactive people, facilitating their social as well as labor inclusion
2) We started the International Network of photographers with intellectual disabilities, creating photographers in Spain (Galicia, Madrid and Barcelona) and collaborating with Moro Foto (Nord Odal-Norway), Life-wire News Service (NYC-USA), Yo También (Buenos Aires-Argentina) and its project in Latin America with contacts in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia. We also started contacts with other countries
3) During these years, we have made presentations or exhibitions in Miami (Trailblazing2017), in Nord Odal (Norway), in Perugia (Italy), Lisbon (Portugal), and Turku (Finland) and in Spain in Madrid, Barcelona, A Coruña, Murcia, Malaga, Marbella, Zaragoza, and in Pamplona
4) We are creating what will be the bank of images of photographers with a diversity (developmental disability and disorders) . We are currently redesigning the concept to create a more efficient image bank.
Conventional photography is in crisis, but it is also the moment when society uses more photographs. To achieve our goal of inclusion, our work must have:
CREATIVITY: In all our works both products and services. The photographs of our photographers decorate hotel rooms, explaining our history and giving visibility to inclusion. Another example is a proposal for a tourist guide of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, explained by people with two disabilities, obtaining a didactic, entertaining and accessible guide
QUALITY: We guarantee the high quality of our work. One example is that we are collaborators of Getty Images, the most important image bank in the world
KNOWLEDGE: 1) Technology to offer amazing products and services. 2) of the environment to be able to go to the opportunities or meet the needs of society
COLLABORATION: 1) creating an international Network of photographers with diversity. We think of cities like Dublin and Paris, in countries like the USA where we have contacts in cities like NYC, Los Angeles, Miami or Nashville. And we also think of countries in South America, Africa and Asia where there is a lot of work to be done2) with technological companies that allow us to offer our products or services (example: Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, ..)
COMMITMENT in passion red, is the most important because without commitment we can not advance
