Being a deaf photographer and trainer for deaf students has been an incredibly rewarding experience. When I first started working with this community, I'll admit I was a bit nervous, unsure of how to best communicate and teach visual arts to those with hearing impairments. But the deaf students I've had the privilege of working with have taught me so much.

The key is adapting my teaching methods to best suit their needs. I rely heavily on visual demonstrations, hands-on practice, and clear, concise Sign language to get the core concepts across. Gone are the days of lengthy verbal explanations - I've learned to be succinct and make every sign and gesture count.

What I find most inspiring is witnessing the passion and creativity these students bring to photography. Being deaf gives them a unique perspective through the lens. They notice details and framing choices that I may have overlooked. This work has become a true labor of love, and I'm honored to be their teacher and guide on this photographic journey.

love everything about this! 

we need more ppl like Srivatsan in the world! 💜🙏
