We don’t want your sympathy, we want your understanding
This isn’t just any calendar. Each photo features a nude model – but with a powerful twist: a visual filter has been applied to replicate the model’s own sight condition. These striking images don’t just celebrate the human form; they also tell the stories of incredibly courageous women who are blind.

Deafblind UK member and the creator, Josephine, was the first to brave it all. She sums it up beautifully: “I just want to show that we’re normal women, with normal lives and normal bodies – and we also happen to be blind. I want to raise awareness that people are more than their sight loss, and hopefully raise a bit of money for Deafblind UK too.”
She also extends a heartfelt thank you to the entire team: the models, photographer, venue, and makeup artist Wezely Webber (of Glow Up fame), all generously donated their time and talent to bring this project to life.
All proceeds will go directly to Deafblind UK and the work we do to support the deafblind community.

Which sight conditions are represented?
Every month of the calendar features a different woman, each with a unique story and a different type of sight condition. Their portraits are more than photographs – they are visual representations of resilience, self-acceptance, and identity beyond disability. Each image has been filtered to mimic how the model herself sees the world, giving the viewer a glimpse into her lived experience.
Miss January
“I have complete achromatopsia, I’ve never seen colour. Light bleaches out my vision and causes me physical pain.”
Her portrait is a study in contrasts, capturing both vulnerability and strength. The filtered effect simulates the harsh glare and washed-out world that characterises her condition.
Miss February
Diagnosed with diabetic retinopathy, she describes her experience as “looking through a visual lace curtain.”
Aa an artist, she brings a unique creative lens to the project, showing that vision isn’t just about sight – it’s about perspective.
Miss March
“Macular degeneration took most of my sight in just four days – the rest disappeared gradually over five years.”
Now, her left eye sees only darkness and shadows, while her right has limited peripheral vision. Her portrait reflects that fragmented view, yet her dignity shines through.
Miss April
Living with retinitis pigmentosa, she says: “Though my sight loss claims my eyes, it cannot touch my heart. My friends and family illuminate every step I take.” Her photo is warm and filled with light – a tribute to the community that supports her journey.
Miss May
With bilateral sheath meningioma, she has no sight in one eye and blurred, low-colour vision in the other. Her image has a soft, dreamlike quality, showing how the world appears to her: indistinct, but still beautiful.
Miss June
Another model with retinitis pigmentosa, she lost her vision in progressive stages. “Each stage was life-changing because the decline was so severe.” Her image captures this emotional journey – a powerful reminder of how adapting to change requires strength and courage.
Miss July
Also living with macular degeneration, she chooses to focus on joy. “Thanks to my supportive family, I live a full life filled with travel, gardening, and fun.” Her photo radiates happiness, reminding us that independence and adventure don’t end with sight loss.
Miss August
Creator of the calendar who also has retinitis pigmentosa, she states: “I may be losing my sight, but I refuse to lose who I am. I will not let my vision loss define me.” Her portrait is proud and defiant – a symbol of identity, ownership, and self-expression.
Miss September
After 14 years of laser treatment for diabetic retinopathy, she now has no upper or lower vision.
“I live behind a lace curtain.” Her image is both delicate and powerful, echoing the limitations of her sight while challenging the viewer to see the woman beyond them.
Miss October
Diagnosed with glaucoma, she experiences peripheral vision loss and constant disorientation from bright lights and reflections. Her filtered image distorts clarity and depth, providing a raw insight into how disorienting everyday environments can be.
Miss November
Living with stargardts disease, she shares: “I need to accept my vision loss as an example to my children – things happen in life we can’t control, but we can control how we deal with them.” Her portrait is one of grace and quiet determination, honouring the strength it takes to live by example.
