Life by the low tide

The Story behind the Shot:

Becky Bailey, from England, was born profoundly deaf and feels proud to have her photograph selected as a winner of the Global Ability Photography Challenge. For Becky, photography is a way to express herself and change perspectives about disability and creativity. Her image captures the joy of connection, symbolizing resilience, beauty, and strength in everyday life. She believes initiatives like GAPC are vital for giving people with disabilities a platform to be seen for their talent, not their challenges. To her, art has no barriers—it’s a universal language of hope and inclusion—and GAPC represents empowerment.
