Introducing Jijo, our photographer with Down Syndrome

On #WorldDownSyndromeDay, we showcase how #WithUsNotForUs takes flight at Ultraviolette's inclusive base. With #ArtofMyOptimus capturing the F77, we illustrate how inclusion works wonders for individuals with special needs.
See his photographs here: pCqAIO3Mpg...
Our approach at Ultraviolette values passion over just academic qualifications. Jijo's love for photography and motorcycles caught our attention, and the fact that he is an individual with #DownSyndrome inspired us. His pro-active learning pattern through keen observation, helped us recognize how abilities transcend barriers. After weeks of observing his craft, we decided to collaborate on a project!
This year's #WithUsNotForUs theme resonated with us, as it reflects our philosophy of inclusion. Today, Jijo is one of our most prized photographers who offers unique perspectives on our creations.
Encouraging him to flourish creatively and make his own decisions resulted in exceptional outcomes, and all of this is possible through fostering an inclusive environment.
Based in Bangalore, Jijo is an artist with Down Syndrome who boldly experiments with various forms of art - from traditional mediums like acrylic paints to digital mediums like Adobe Photoshop. He is also a passionate drummer, and a photographer, whose canvas embodies the fusion of all his interests.
