Blind photographer's 'seeing' images

Juan Torre had a successful career as a newspaper photographer when at the age of 30 he began to suffer from Behcet's syndrome - a rare and poorly-understood disease that has left him with 6% vision.

But despite his inability to make out more than vague shapes and colours, he refused to abandon his love of photography - and instead has learnt to adapt his technique.

Now he is working on an exhibition of Braille photographs of musicians, enabling blind people to 'touch' his subjects' hands and faces.
