Photo Caption: Sami lost her sight in her early 20s through complications of diabetes. The fashion student had an exciting career ahead of her which was cut short and the shock and lack of confidence left her hidden away for a little while. Now she has a guide dog called Betty and regularly models. She uses it as an outlet for her creativity and to express herself by creating fashion looks for photoshoots. Because she is so fashionable a lot of people don’t realise she is blind. I am working with her to try and increase diversity in the fashion world and show that blind people should still be included.Professional or Amateur Photographer: Amateur
Country where the photo was taken: United Kingdom
