World Photography Day · August 19

Seeing color differently.

Photographer Daniel Pecsi has never known photography without color blindness. That hasn’t kept color at the edges of his work — it has put color near the center of it.

For World Photography Day, we’re turning the lens toward a question that sounds simple but opens into something much bigger: what does it mean to make images when you experience color differently?

Ask Daniel what it’s like to be a color blind photographer and his answer cuts quickly through the premise.

“I’ve only been a color blind photographer, so I have no frame of reference. I still have a great relationship with colors, and they are an important aspect of my work.”

Color blindness is not an absence of color. Daniel’s photographs are built from the color relationships available to him — shaped by film stocks, light, instinct and taste. Over time his workflow moved toward film, precisely because a film stock arrives with its palette already decided.

“As film stocks’ color palettes are a given, this workflow allows me to create more intuitively,” he says.
