3DPhotoWorks

We make the impossible possible for over 285 million blind and visually impaired people around the world. Tactile Images was founded in 2008 with a promise to increase engagement, accessibility, and inclusion for those who are blind and visually impaired. John Olson, a former staff photographer for LIFE Magazine, embarked on this journey after an invitation from the National Federation of the Blind. This partnership made him acutely aware of the need for accessible imagery, instilling in him the belief that for those without sight, access to tactile images represents a means to greater understanding and connection. From inception to creation, John Olson's dedication has brought Tactile Images to life, making a significant impact on the lives of many.
