A PHOTOGRAPHER is staging an exhibition which aims to expose misconceptions surrounding colour blindness.

Documentary photographer Christopher Litherland said: "At the age of seven I was presented with a list of around 200 jobs that the authorities said I could never do. A photographer was one of them. As a child I was both deaf and colour blind, the deafness has been cured, but the colour blindness is here to stay. People laugh when I tell them I'm a colour blind photographer."

The exhibition runs from March 2 to 29 at Crook Civic Centre. Admission is free.
