Diagnosed with ADHD and an IQ level of 55/60, Bharat is 41 years old. We noticed that his inferences had always been a plus point and decided to focus on the same. Initially it was a much tougher call than it is today, but with time Bharat caught up and despite a slant in his vision, he has a keen eye for details. Today, he's 3 exhibitions and numerous shoots old and while he still has attention deficiency as a trait, he is getting all the attention from anyone who sees his work.

It was quite a learning experience and an absolutely fun time was had! I was a little apprehensive at first as I had never really "posed" for a professional photo session before but I was made to feel totally comfortable and was blown away by the enthusiasm and the professionalism with which it was approached by all the participants. Thank you KnowDisability.org! Kudos and all the best for your future endeavours!
