• S2 Ep1342: At Seen Exhibition 8 - Interview with Luke and Ruby

  Seen, is a new photography exhibition featuring 22 powerful portraits that bring into focus the lives of blind and partially sighted people.  The exhibition is a collaboration between the RNIB and photographer Joshua Bratt. Over the last two years, Joshua has travelled the country, meeting people with sight loss and capturing their stories through his lens. These portraits reveal the extraordinary lives of blind and partially sighted people: individuals thriving in their careers, pursuing their passions and overcoming barriers. On Friday 12 September 2025 the first day that the exhibition was open to the general public RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey caught up with Luke and Ruby, father and girlfriend of blind climber Lux Losey-Sail to find out what they both thought of some of the 22 portraits of the blind and partially sighted people who feature in the exhibition.
