Vicky Roy’s pictures look at the abilities of people living with disability

Everyone is something good, the first was launched as an online exhibition of photographs, depicting the actual stories of people living with disability, now comes as a book for readers. The exhibition has been converted into a photo-book published by the India Inclusion Foundation. It is a curated collection of 100 powerful stories that are ignored everyday courage, calm flexibility, and often people with disabilities across the country.

In a world where the stories of disability often focus on what is missing, photographer Vicky Roy and Inclusion Advocate VR Ferros gave it a different perspective. Photos show Vicky’s journey through cities and cities, meet people whose life is rarely seen. Ferros, who lives in California, shaped stories.

Vicky says, inspired by telling the story of human beings of New York, but strongly lies in the streets and backyard of India, each story, about looking at the ability, not disability. “The way you see a photo, if the reference changes positively, he says.”

The project breaks the stereotypes, covering more than 21 disabled and more than 200 stories. Instead of sad headlines, we see a blind man (Gobinda Majumdar) shaving with a mirror in hand; Amer Hussain, a boy with disabilities, chasing dreams and many others had a big dream despite all the obstacles.

Vicky’s work is depth; He travels long distances to frame each story, often spend hours to create confidence with families. He does not see it as a donation. He says, “This is a cycle of giving back to the society that has shaped him. The blessings that I get from families is more than any reward. When someone says that thanks, I sleep well,” they say.

Vicky’s project is much higher than images. “The more you serve, the more you feel alive,” Ferros says. If a small donation – a laptop, a cricket kit, a sewing machine – can help someone grow, then our team steps, he says.

The Ministry of Social Justice has supported the mission by helping Vicky and Ferros to find, whose stories may otherwise be unheard and unseen. Every week, the pair balances the stories of men and women carefully because they believe that every voice should be heard.

It is not easy to run a project like everyone. The price of each story in the initial days – 25,000 – travels, time, housing. To cut this cost, Vicky often doubled the number of stories per trip, traveled for a long time, sometimes covered two stories a day.

The e-demonstration and the book also breaks the myth that disability is always tragic. Instead, each picture reflects heat, honesty and an acquaintance. People do not have models in them; They are neighbors, colleagues, are friends that we would never have stopped to see.

“Behind every face, there is a task of courage -sometimes small as a photo shoot step out, sometimes big as living independently against all obstacles.

The mission is an open invitation to look deeply, ask questions, and believes that the capacity is only when we choose to see it.
