Courtney Bent, an aspiring fashion photographer whose career took an unexpected turn when she discovered a hidden world of beauty at a center for people with significant disabilities. Courtney's efforts snowballed into an award-winning photography program called "Picture This," and became the backdrop for an eye-opening story about romance, loss and laughter that will challenge what you thought you knew about living with a disability ? and without one. The Back Story In the late 1990?s, Courtney Bent began adapting cameras and teaching photography to a group of individuals with disabilities at a community program in Watertown, MA. Her photography workshop was created to provide a new avenue of self expression through the art of photography for individuals with disabilities, some who had very limited means of communicating. After 250 hours of film footage, and 10 years later, comes the award winning documentary, Shooting Beauty, the story of the "Picture This" photography workshops. - See more at:http://***
