In a world where stories are often told through the lens of others, the Disabled Photographers of the Planet Facebook group offers a rare and powerful opportunity: a chance for disabled individuals across the globe to share their own visions, one photograph at a time.
Uniting disabled photographers
This growing online community is a haven for disabled photographers of all backgrounds and skill levels. Whether seasoned professionals with extensive portfolios or curious beginners picking up a camera for the first time, all are warmly welcomed.
The group’s mission is simple yet profound — to unite disabled photographers worldwide, promote their artistic work, and create a space for meaningful connection and inspiration.
At its heart, the group is about far more than photography. It is a supportive platform where members are encouraged to showcase their photographs, websites, and personal stories. It’s a vibrant network where passion and perseverance converge, and where every shared image is a celebration of resilience, creativity, and humanity.
One member eloquently described the group as “a place to showcase the work of our members and bring awareness to our stories as photographers who shoot despite our limitations.”
This community doesn’t just provide visibility — it creates a vital space for mutual encouragement, practical advice, and creative exchange. Members can share information about accessible photography gear, adaptive techniques, and wheelchair-friendly locations.
A great resource for wellbeing
The group is also a potential lifeline for those in need of camaraderie or motivation, especially for individuals navigating the emotional toll of life with a disability.
Those who may be feeling isolated or disheartened are especially encouraged to consider photography as both a hobby and a healing outlet — and to join this welcoming community.
For someone in a wheelchair and “in a bit of a funk,” this group offers a creative escape and the chance to engage with like-minded individuals who understand the challenges and triumphs that come with disability.
Disabled photographers raising awareness
The group also serves a broader purpose — raising awareness. By sharing the work and experiences of disabled photographers, the group helps challenge stereotypes, dismantle assumptions, and highlight the diverse perspectives of people living with disabilities. Every image shared is not just art — it’s advocacy.
Moreover, the group fosters international connections. As one of their mottos suggests, “The more we observe the work of photographers from other countries, the more human they become.” Through photography, barriers are broken down, cultures are explored, and a shared humanity is revealed.
More than a group — a global movement
Ultimately, Disabled Photographers of the Planet is more than just a Facebook group — it’s a movement. A movement that uplifts, empowers, and celebrates the unique vision of photographers who see the world through a different lens — and have powerful stories to tell.
For those ready to be inspired, share their journey, or simply connect with others who understand — this group offers a place to belong.

The Crip Life™ advertising strategy is “Pay What You Can (PWYC).” We know this is very different to most if not all, online magazines. PWYC is a business model that doesn’t insist upon set prices for its goods or services. Instead, it asks clients to pay what they feel the product or service is worth and what you can afford to pay.
We want to place adverts for a wide range of clients. So, whatever the size of the organisation, if you want to promote a product or service, contact Joanna Baker-Rogers.
