‘Over the Horizon‘, a new campaign for Samsung Galaxy is based on the real life story of Alexander Zhuravlev, a blind photographer from Russia, who was able to take a step beyond the horizon of his own possibilities.
The campaign aims to inspire ordinary people to push beyond their own comfort zone and understand that daily life has much more to offer than they expect.
The campaign features Alexander Zhuravlev – a photographer with only 2% residual vision.
Alexander became blind at the age of 11 as the result of an illness. Despite seeing almost nothing he is a passionate skier, a traveller and an enthusiastic photographer.
He lives at full throttle and believes that disability will only hold you back if you allow it to.
Driven by wanderlust, Alexander visited India alone and has travelled further since. He says that he can feel the world around him through the rest of his senses.
And 2% vision is enough to see what is most important: sunlight, colours and the horizon.
During his latest journey to South Ural, the Russian region famous for its severe climate and beautiful landscape,
Alexander took a series of photographs using a Samsung Galaxy smartphone to create a social project comprising an online video, a website and a photography exhibition.
His exhibition opened in The Lumiere Brothers Gallery in Moscow.
