A new Podcast with The Keith Blakemore-Noble Radio Show
In the latest episode of The Keith Blakemore-Noble Radio Show, I had the incredible opportunity to chat with Michael Crawford-Hick, an inspiring photographer preparing for the Paris Paralympic Games 2024!
From overcoming the challenges of functional neurological disorder (FND) to pioneering in disability sports photography, Michael’s journey is a testament to resilience, passion, and redefining success.
💡 Key Takeaways:
Resilience and Reinvention: Despite being diagnosed with FND and facing significant mobility challenges, Michael found his passion for photography. His journey underscores how adversity can lead to new opportunities and a non-traditional career path.
Impact Through Photography: Michael has used his platform to highlight the world of disability sports, capturing events like wheelchair basketball and the Invictus Games. His dedication not only showcases the athleticism and spirit of disabled athletes but also encourages broader participation in these sports.
Future Plans and Contributions: Michael is gearing up to photograph around 12 sports at the Paris Paralympic Games, convert his blog into a book, and teach sports photography to disabled individuals. He aims to inspire the next generation of photographers and promote the positive impacts of sports among disabled communities.
Let’s support Michael’s journey and his mission to shine a light on the amazing world of disability sports. Follow his updates during the Paralympics on his Disability Sports Network website and stay inspired by his powerful photographs on Alamy.
