About Ian Treherne:

Ian Treherne is an Essex-born and based photographer with a truly unique take on the world, navigating it through the lens of RP Type 2 Usher Syndrome – a condition that combines blindness and deafness. From the moment he was told he was going blind at age 15, he knew he wanted to see and capture as much of the world as possible. Now working as a commissioned photographer, he serves as an ambassador for numerous charities and regularly collaborates with major brands including Apple and Canon UK.

Throughout his career, Ian has been an advocate for accessibility in the arts, working to ensure that blind and partially sighted people have the opportunity to express themselves creatively. His work has been featured in numerous exhibitions around Europe.

Ian’s reflections on Seen

“Joshua chose the Soif studio in Hackney to reflect the studio environment I work in. It gave him the freedom and time to be creative in a controlled space and experiment with ideas. It was an unusual experience to be the subject of a photograph – but an enjoyable one!

I would like visitors to be inspired by others with disabilities to pursue their passions. My personal journey – from a man losing my vision to becoming a photographer – serves as an inspiration to others, with or without disabilities. I aim to show that it’s possible to transcend limitations and achieve greatness in whatever field one chooses.”
