making muscle wasting history

Life Thru A Lens

Life Thru a Lens is a project that aims to show what living with Duchenne is like – told in photographs by those whose lives are directly affected.

The project will enable a group of young men from all over the UK to work with cameras and photography software to produce a  unique portfolio of images, documenting the opportunities, challenges and truth of living a life with Duchenne.

Over a 6 week period, photographer Jason Thompson will be working with young men and volunteers to create an exhibition. The photographs will be a personal document of a time, a place and a much misunderstood condition. The images and exhibition aim to raise awareness of Duchenne, and bring the condition to the public eye in a personal and visual way.

“I think that this is a very significant project that could really help to change attitudes towards Duchenne, and show a slice of real life perhaps never seen before by those untouched by the condition. 

The young photographers are all very excited, and are already starting to produce images that are interesting and creative - they've risen to the challenge and their imaginations have been captured. I think that the resulting work will be a tribute to their determination and positive attitudes - they're inspirational." Jason Thompson
