callum's perceptive eye

Callum loves calendars (and dates in general), brown seagulls, rainbows, music and capturing photographs of the world around him. Callum is 22 years old, lives in Christchurch and is on the autism spectrum. He is a graduate of The Champion Centre and both he and his whānau hold this place close in their hearts.

Callum is an avid photographer and his photos are an expression of who he is and what he loves. They give us a glimpse into how he sees the world. He loves taking photos of sunrises and sunsets, as he says, ‘they are what music looks like’.

After leaving school, Callum set up his own business, The Offbeat Lens. He plans to use his photographs to create prints, calendars and art pieces. 
​
For Callum’s whānau, the Centre is more than an early intervention provider, it is a place that provides connection, and the people who work there give their all to ‘hold space’ for the children and their whānau. Callum is kindly donating 50% of profits from the sale of his cards to the Champion Centre. Packs of cards are available at the Centre or here on Trade Me
