Teen’s photography dream takes off

Available for over a year

A 15‑year‑old from Coventry has seen his confidence and his new photography hobby soar after a Facebook post by his mum was shared more than 160 times. Lorenzo, who is autistic and has ADHD, discovered a passion for taking pictures of planes after years of watching aircraft near local flight paths and using his mum’s phone to practise. His mum Claire posted online hoping to help him gain experience and build his confidence, offering low‑cost shoots in aviation, family photos and events. Lorenzo and Claire spoke to BBC CWR's Vic Minett.
