After professional photographer Alex Dejong lose his sight three eld ago , he thought his days of taking and redaction photos was over . But the iPhone 3GS ’s VoiceOver feature , plus a few key apps , has give some of his abilities back .
Dejong ’s plain of visual sense is n’t totally inglorious ; he can differentiate light from sullen , and had continued to take photos with the aid of an editing assistant . But VoiceOver , which understand back anything displayed on the iPhone , has take into account him to employ the ( low - end , Dejong take on ) camera and certain picture editing apps like Camerabag and TiltShift even without sight .
“ With the iPhone and a lot of the photography apps that a lot of people are using , I have my entire work flow , and I can do it in five minutes , ” Dejong said . “ In this way , the iPhone is a noteworthy gift . I ’ve had it for three weeks now , and it has really open up up my world , apart from the photography . ”
It ’s a pretty interesting story , and Wired ’s account break down into more astuteness with other unsighted photography techniques . I ’d never really thought about blind picture taking before , but for someone like Dejong , for whom photography had been a critical part , I can see how VoiceOver and other novel tools would be a godsend .
